American Idol 8 Kris Allen “Ain’t No Sunshine”

Kris Allen surprised me by choosing “Ain’t No Sunshine” but as soon as he started singing, I remembered how much I had loved the performance. He really is a great singer and artist but I think he should have done “Falling Slowly” (he did “Heartless” too recently, in my opinion). It was a very strong performance but I don’t know if it packed the punch that he needed for tonight.

Randy said that it was one of his best performances on this stage and said that he can already tell what kind of artist Kris is going to be. Kara said that Kris has a way of creating an intimate bond with his audience. Paula said that he has a unique way of performing every song that he sings. Simon said that he wasn’t sure if America had made the right choice when his name was announced last week but that, after tonight’s performance, he took it all back.

Kris Allen picked one of my favorite songs, “Ain’t No Sunshine” and he really brought some emotion to it. He stripped it down and began the performance by just accompanying himself on the keyboards. I really liked it and I’m happy that he is coming out of nowhere and emerging as a frontrunner in the competition. LOVED the violins at the end. Gorgeous.Randy said that for the last couple weeks Kris has been so in the zone. He said it was creative and cool. Kara said “that is artistry!” Paula said that he took a 30 year old song and made it sound brand new. Simon said that it was Kris’ best performance so far.
