Yay, AOL Sessions…. Well done Kris Allen & band.
I love O’ Holly Night and Red Guitar the most.
I must say, I’m so jealous of Kris’ skin. I mean is that even real ?
That close of a close up, and barely any pores at all ? Must be all the water he drinks.
.
I don’t think Kris wants to go country, eventhough I don’t really know what that means sometimes. I went to a Keith Urban concert just to see Carrie U 2 years ago. I’ve never listened to his music before and I was like” This is country ? It was really pop to me”.
Maybe Kris will sell more cd as a country artist, but what is the point if he does not enjoy it. And I think he is the type of artist who doesn’t really care about top selling cd, etc.
Maybe there is a certain criteria on how to write country music. Maybe the narrative is different. More story-like ? I’m sure he can sing any country song written for him, but he wants to write his own music. So, I don’t know how it is going to work.
Having said that, I think Red Guitar can be released to country radio. But, who knows. I guess I have no clue what constitutes country.
These videos are soooooo worth the wait. Merry Kris-mas everyone!!!
This man is so attractive it takes my breath away. He sounds great and the band is stellar. Good job Kris.
Thanks mj for posting these videos. Better late than not.
I agree with judes- it was the fret in the guitar that made the song sound countryish.
As of the ‘whine’, if you happen to listen to Sir Elton John’s songs earlier in his career such as ‘Skyline Pegion’ or a Brian Adams song, they too have that whiney touch in their voice.
After watching Kris live with ‘Red Guitar’ and on AOL Session, I must say that it was for me his signature song. Listening to the album is good. Watching him live is great! Soulful rendition of O Holy Night was excellent.
He has a long way to go and with such talent and he is just starting.
Kris can do almost anything that is music related. He can be a David Foster, he can do voice over in an animated film (as we all know, he has good talking voice, if he says he is not good in front of the camera, he can be great behind with his soulful voice), etc.
He is such a good kid and hope that the people managing him do their job properly and point him on the right direction.
He has mentioned that he is not into movie songs but he may change his mind later hopefully.
I can imagine him singing ANS while watching ‘Nottinghill’ movie staring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.
mj, I have a question for Kris, Would you consider writing the coronation song for this season if asked?
Kris can have a guest apperance on ‘Glee’ singing and strumming his ‘Red Guitar’ (just my imagination).
Still replaying OHN, RG, and IIO. Sooooo good!
mj, thank you so much for keeping this posted at the top, because it makes it easy to come back and listen!
In order of my favorites: Can’t Stay Away, O Holy Night, Is It Over, LLWD, and Red Guitar.
I just watched these again. I love to watch Kris sing. He is so into the songs – you can see it on his face. The band is fantastic. They are real musicians and are becoming quite a force with the arrangements. O Holy Night – so beautiful and original. Red Guitar – the end scream – GAH! <3
I am so proud of the work Kris is doing. I love his music, but he is also a good person (and very, very easy on the eyes).
Good Luck tonight in NYC with your friends. And thanks for so much pleasure from the sessions and the SE Asian tour videos. It was a KA week for sure. The Singapore Come Together was just wild! I watched that one many times and from every angle. They all made me LAUGH, LAUGH, LAUGH OUT LOUD! Hands everywhere!
