We only saw a brief clip of Kris in Louisville. He auditioned with his brother, who didn’t make the cut. Kris has been singing since he was 7 or 8 years old and is a praise and worship leader at the church he attends.
Kris, if you recall, was part of the awesome “White Chocolate” Hollywood round group with India Morrison, Matt Giraud and Justin Williams.
He’s had very little screen time on Idol, but if he comes out with a great performance (and I think he may have it in him) he could be a dark horse.
Here’s Kris’s MySpace. You Tube Goodness: “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”

He’s got a decent voice but he’ll have to show a ton of charisma during the live performances to make an impact.
With this year’s format, I don’t think he stands the slightest chance of getting into the Top 12, unless they really showcase him next week. This year really favors the pimped and the early favorites, and he didn’t get as much exposure as some of the others.
He sounded o.k in the group round.
I really likes this guy, both in his audition and his h-wood group. But I agree that he’ll really need to do something in his top 36 group to stand out or he’s toast.
This guy really should make the top 12. His voice and is phenomenal and he makes things his own. Will he make the top 12? It’s a chancy because, as Jolene points out, this year’s format favors the early pimped. And he most certainly has not been pimped. We probably would not have even seen his group sing if he was not in the same group as Matt Giraud.
I hope he makes it, because his voice is special.
He’s kinda cute and has a nice voice. Let’s see what TPTB do with Kris this upcoming week.
I think he’s got a good chance of making it to top 12! I liked him during Hollywood week.
this guy really have a chance in top12..i like his personality if u guys watch it in http://www.americanidol.com where he had been interviewed with jesse langseth..both of them r really cool n looks like have known each others for several yers…
