New Kris Allen Single “Live Like We’re Dying”

When I first heard about this song, I have to admit that I got it confused with the Tim McGraw hit “Live Like You Were Dying” but after hearing Kris Allen’s new single “Live Like We’re Dying” it’s clear that these songs are nothing alike.

First of all, can I just say that I’m so glad that Kris is putting “No Boundaries” behind him? Yeah… and it’s not that I think the song isn’t good (although I really am not a fan of it) but it was clear that he was uncomfortable with it which really is a bad way to start a career.

Anyway, I really like this song and I think that Kris’ talent really shines through. I think that he’s got an amazing voice which is incredibly radio-friendly so hopefully this song will do quite well for the most recent American Idol winner.

Kris Allen Visits Live With Regis and Kelly

Kris Allen, the newest American Idol winner, was on Live With Regis and Kelly yesterday morning. He was so charming, humble and adorable and I just find it so hard to not be happy for him. He talked a bit about how talented the Top 13 was this year, how he talk himself to play the guitar one summer and how he used to enjoy watching the Idol auditions because they were hilarious.

Like last year’s winner, David Cook, Kris auditioned for the show because he had a brother who wanted to get on the show (in fact, his brother had auditioned and didn’t make it) and ended up winning.

It was also interesting when he explained that he has only been married eight months and, after auditioning for the show, he and his wife went on their honeymoon to Jamaica and, after landing, he literally got on a plan to leave for Hollywood Week. Can you imagine!? I had to laugh, though, because the ladies in the audience were suspiciously silent as he talked about being married. Jealous much?

Kris also performed his new single “No Boundaries” and it does seem like he’s getting more and more comfortable with it (the audio was a little weird, though). It’s not the best song and I’m glad he’s finding a way to embrace it but I can’t wait to see what he comes up with himself. After the performance, Regis asked Kris if Simon Cowell congratulated him after he won. Kris revealed that he hasn’t talked to Simon at all. YOWZA!

Kris Allen Performs and Chats on Ellen

The newest American Idol, Kris Allen, will be on Ellen tomorrow (but these videos are already up!) where he sat down with her and talked about the experience and also performed his new single “No Boundaries” and his revamped version on Kanye West’s “Heartless.”

I thought that Kris sounded a little more comfortable performing “No Boundaries” (the key was a little lower than it had been on that final performance show). He actually made it a lot more likable. What do you think?

Of course, “Heartless” was as great as I remembered from when he was on Idol. It is so hot, I wish he could release this version himself. Watch the performance here:

Runner-up, Adam Lambert, also spoke to Ellen last week (via telephone) and her audience erupted in applause. The talk show host mentioned how surprising it was to see Kris win but what she really wanted to say was that she really respected how Adam handled losing. She couldn’t resist the urge to be funny so she offered him some make-up tips. Hilarious!
