I’m getting a bit excited for the video. Time+clocks+desert= Salvador Dali’s ‘Persistence of Memory’ in my mind.

OMG. You’re a genius. That would be EPIC!!!

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.

that’s cool… hopefully no cloks will melt only us

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.

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!

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.

Not really. They were assigned the songs and a had less than a week to come up with the arrangements on RS. But, either way, I didn’t like Kris’ version. I still like Kris, and its cool that he has a sense of humor.

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.

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 )

Kris wrote or co-wrote more songs than just those two.

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!!!!

Obviously I fail at this’ ¦do I have to hit link before and after pasting in the link (like with b-quotes)? Help!

is this the 1

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.

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 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.

Here’s a fun montage of his time at Seton High:

Of course you can. But you’re basically comparing a polished, well-rehearsed performance to one the was impromptu and was meant to be silly. How are you supposed to compare that? LOL. *shrugs*

I said I liked that he had fun with the song. I can still compare reality show contestants on their treatment of songs, though, can’t I? LOL.
