Kris Allen Top 3 “Apologize”

American Idol judges, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi, were responsible for choosing a song for Kris Allen this week and I was thrilled to learn that he would be singing “Apologize” by OneRepublic. I really loved the performance and, I know he didn’t make too many changes to the arrangement, but it was great for me.

Randy said that right now it’s about who is going to win this competition and he believed that Kris showed us what kind of artist he could be in the music business. Kara said that it was a very confident performance but she wishes he had made it more his own. Paula said that she was so proud of Kris but that there was a really loud bum note. Simon said that what Kara said was a cop out and said that Kris can’t be blamed for not reinterpreting a song he didn’t choose.
