I am not a fan of any idol but I love good music. You impressed me and my family during the AI contest when you sang Once from the movie Falling Slowly. It’s a slower song, simple guitar background but your voice came out strong and so good that we thought your version was better. Hope your next album will have this type of rendition. We need to hear more of that unique haunting voice.

You are a good singer but the tracks in your album are not that interesting and do not IMHO showcase the quality of your voice. Hope you take this criticism with an open mind because we would like to see you successful.

I bought your CD including A. Lambert and Subo.

Try listensing to Subo’s songs. The instruments blended with her voice so nicely that it never overpowered her during soft and louder passages. Excellent reproduction indeed. She has a story but her voice plus excellent recording/mixing made me buy her CD.

Thanks for reading and more power to you sir.

“It sure gonna be rough for the next few days or weeks and that’s exactly why less and less Kris’ fans are online’ ¦ Like what cookcricket said, there is such a HUGE shadow over Kris and this album. Worse still, the bias media’ ¦ if only people will give him a fair chance and listen to his album’ ¦ they will be presently surprised’ ¦ But Kris, some of us here will always be here for you and I’m waiting for your tour and second album already.. ”

It is just weird that almost ALL the media are just like SHEEPS. Nobody seems to have a mind of their own. It’s like they want to show who can praise / overpraise their chosen one more than the other outlet (OK my grammar is really bad, but I think you know what I mean). Kris just doesn’t get a chance. They are sticking with the script that Kris is supposed to be #2 and that’s it.

This Thanksgiving, among other things, I’m thankfull for being introduced to Kris Allen.

Guess what ? FINALLY, yes, I got the E-mail from I-tunes this morning. So I just downloaded the album. I’m happy now.
Thank you Starr, if I did not see your post, I wouldn’t check . This past couple days, I ignored I-tunes, I was so mad.

At this point, not all Kris thread is safe.. Look at the latest Kris thread.. I got so upset that I actually risk getting banned.. lol But it’s ok even if I get banned, at least I get to say out loud how I feel.

It sure gonna be rough for the next few days or weeks and that’s exactly why less and less Kris’ fans are online… Like what cookcricket said, there is such a HUGE shadow over Kris and this album. Worse still, the bias media… if only people will give him a fair chance and listen to his album… they will be presently surprised… But Kris, some of us here will always be here for you and I’m waiting for your tour and second album already..

And please bring any Kris news to Kris’ thread. I don’t think I’m going anywhere but to Kris thread. It’s going to be rough.

Ratna12, I hear ya’! I thought I was prepared for this, but I’ve been close to tears already several times today.

Nice!!!!!!! Idol debut albums are so much better this year!!! I’m impressed!

THIS is what makes these low numbers (which are relative really) so frustrating. Jive needs to find out a way to promote what’s on this album to get people listening imo. I just feel like there is such a HUGE shadow over Kris and this album.

Okay Kris, if for some odd reason you’re lurking here I have not completely given up hope and I’m so so so impressed with your album!!

Is that what Kris is wearing for next Monday ? Oh boy !!
Hot ! and I’m not talking about the weather in Los Angeles today.

On a sad news, I still can not download my I-tune pass yet.
And please bring any Kris news to Kris’ thread. I don’t think I’m going anywhere but to Kris thread. It’s going to be rough.

and awwww about katy. how sweet is that!

regarding the performance, have to agree this was best LLWD performance so far and kris sounded really good. the only downside was that they never showed cale. oh well, he has the bachelor award so thats a consolation. heh

When did he diss Ohio? All I saw was he said the other guy was from Ohio.

Oh, I was just joking… he was teasing. I haven’t watched it since this morning, but it was an “Arkansas is better than Ohio” thing….

Also, love his promotion of Cale, but I’m from cough*Ohio*cough. lol, not that I would vote for this.

cookcricket I had the same ‘loyalty’ issues… and Kris sort of dissed ohio, didn’t he? But I figure I stand to get more entertainment out of Cale winning than some random guy from Ohio… so I threw a few votes Cale’s way

ETA: after 4 tries, I’ve finally watched the Ellen vids without interruption. sooo cute. What does he say after “I didn’t want to try anything else”? Something about losing, I think, but I can’t make it out over the crowd noise.

I got tears in my eyes when I saw the picture of Kris hugging Katy after the win. This is one thing I will never forgive idol for (although small), leaving that amazing hug off the NB video after the win. I purchased it for that hug and that was a major fail!

Anyway, he’s so adorable that was just LOL cute! (the interview).

Also, love his promotion of Cale, but I’m from cough*Ohio*cough. lol, not that I would vote for this.

He is hilarious. Apparently today was the taping for “The Bonnie Hunt Show” (it will air 11/30) and he sang christmas songs?!!!Yes, I like it. On youtube there is his version of “O Holy Night”. It’s beautiful.

bnsheetz
Does a better afternoon than kris allen singing you christmas sonngs even exist? dont really think so
14 minutes ago from web

Very good performance; the band is tighter

haha for Cale advertising…

I was a bit surprised that he has beaten Leona. I wish that he had a bigger week sales but this is not bad given the fact (like said above) that he has been treated like dirt by a lot of media.

He was sweet with Ellen. But I am still dubious about her as an Idol judge, rather than an Idol booster…..

(a new video from the Krim Show is embeded)

The sales are really pretty good. He did better than Leona and One Republic who have both had hit records before. The only Pop Artists above him are Justin Beiber, Nora Jones, and John Mayer (I’m not counting MJ). I’d say that’s great!

He sounded really great in that performance, too!!!

I wish radio stations would play LLWD, though. People aren’t likely to pick up a CD if they’ve never heard the song. Obviously, these kinds of shows help but I think that radio airplay is really what would give him a boost.

The whole CD is pretty awesome…

Final numbers are in at HDD ‘“ Kris sold 84,846 and came in #10

Pretty much exactly what was predicted on Wednesday.
