Kris Allen covered “Hit Me Baby One More Time” last night at the Q102 Bosom Ball in Cincinatti. Fun stuff. Also, from last night: To Make You Feel My Love and Man in the Mirror. I’ll update with more videos as they come in, so Watch This Space.

I think it’s adorable Kris has such a funny sense of humor and confidence in himself that he feels completely at ease performing something silly like the Britney song. Clearly he meant it as a light sing-a-long at a charity fundraiser for the audience to have a few laughs. I’ve attended some events like this and I sure wish the performers I saw had a little more fun with themselves like Kris did here.
He seems to enjoy poking fun at himself. I would venture to guess that he would probably laugh hysterically to know people were critiquing this as if it were a performance for a competition or one to be judged against other more serious performances.
If I do this wrong, the link is called Kris Allen and Seton Girls Rock Out by cincinnatidot.com Let’s hit it baby, one more time! (fingers crossed!)
Obviously I fail at this…do I have to hit link before and after pasting in the link (like with b-quotes)? Help!
hoosiermama, you got to highlight your link and then click on link in the bar above the text box
I loved this video of Kris doing Baby One More Time. I actually applauded at the end..and it put the biggest smile on my face. Now this is how I expect Kris’ concerts to be…light hearted with great music and audience participation and enjoyment. He just seemed so happy and content and was just wailing and having fun. Kudos Kris!!
ETA: I just copy and paste my links. Don’t do anything else. As long as you have the comple http it will work just fine. Put it on a seperate line and then there is no confusion.
he might not know how to do sexy faces but he got a sexy voice

Did this work? If it did, thank you Mtlfan! It is a cute montage (on You tube) set to LLWD. Those girls really looked excited to have Kris there.
is this the 1

Yeah! So proud! Next time I’ll try it your way, Tess. Thanks!
ETA: Yes, steve, it’s the same video, different location (aol). Thanks for helping out a newbie everyone!
hosiermama, your link is not valid. try to copy and paste again.
Tess, this is what i do from the YT adress bar … i didn’t know i didn’t have to use the link button on this board
Okay, so as to not get my hopes up too high, I’m thinking that at least one of these songs is the one he brought to Mat Kearney. In the interview with Jim C. (Mat’s that is) it sounded to me as if Kris had already written a song and he had brought it to Mat to help him with it. So therefore, it could very well be that one or both of these songs will be co-writes if they make the album. Oh, and I hope, Hope they do!!! I cannot wait of the album!!!
If there are more than a couple co-writes from Kris on this album, I will be pleasantly surprised. I don’t look for anything done by him alone, but if so, then I’ll be even MORE pleasantly surprised!
I am very happy for Kris, that he’s done with all of his recording! I loved the WBJQ interview too! Thanks for bringing the link girlygirl, you rock!!!!
Rats! I’m too tired to try again. Steve has the correct link, so if you want to see that montage, use his link. Night all! *shuffles off to bed with head hanging*
This has the whole version starting with him talking about it first:

So fab.!
Sexy face or no sexy face, quiet confidence is one of the sexiest thing a man can possess.
( I happen to think he does look sexy when he sings, but that’s me )
Hey mj, The LLWD Bosom Ball soundcheck thread from 15th doesn’t have a Kris Allen tag -therefore when u click on kris’ archive page the vid/post isn’t included…
Just a heads up.
If I remeber correctly, they actually “fought” for each song they sing in RS. Marty Casey got the short end of the stick and ended up with a winning performance anyway. His version was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Kris do this song. Too bad you don’t like Kris’ version. I happen to like both.
I’m getting a bit excited for the video. Time+clocks+desert= Salvador Dali’s ‘Persistence of Memory’ in my mind.
There is so much you can do with this theme. I hope they do it well. The fast pace of the song lends itself to a Kurasawa type treatment. (Why can I not find a clip from the epic iMax movie he did with very very fast images when iMax was being introduced.)
I’m also curious as to which location they’ll pick. There are so many choices. Weather should be clear if doing today (Saturday) and a touch cooler than yesterday was.
Who did Kris say was directing/producing(?) his video?
looks like kris & the audience are sharing a moment, singing the song together. love how he involved the audience in this, and love how they all got the humor of it!
most of all, it takes guts to be a barely established artist and already play major hits as humorous guitar ditties to chant with the audience. normally only seasoned stars (ala garth) or no-namers (lounge singers) do this.
that’s what i love about kris… he’s fearless!
I wonder since Kris does not have his band fully formed if they will included a stand-in band + Cale or choose to have Kris alone in the video. desert+plane+skydiving = Kris’s wish fulfilled.
Kris’s director, Marco Puig seems to be new to directing. His past experience seems to be production design and commercials. I have only located three other videos he has directed.

that’s cool… hopefully no cloks will melt only us
This video just makes me smile. Kris just makes me smile. Those are some lucky girls!
So glad he’s having fun and I hope his friend Cale really is part of his band – so great for him.
It’s good to see him having so much fun even when he wasn’t paid for the gig. It’s all heart. Can’t wait for his album!
snlw, yes it is good and it is heart. He said in one of those videos that both his aunt and grandmother had breast cancer, so it’s a cause that is close to him.
OMG. You’re a genius. That would be EPIC!!!
