After the jump, check out Kris Allen performing “Live Like We’re Dying” at MTV’s It’s On With Alexa Chung. It got a little chaotic there, about 3/4s of the way through, but the band will tighten up with time.
And in other MTV news, Kris tells Jim Cantiello that one of the compromises he had to make on his new album, Kris Allen, was the production on “Heartless”.
The Phil Collins vibe was producer Sam Remi’s idea. “It’s not that I didn’t want to put it on there. [It's just that] the version was a little bit different for me,” says Kris, “That was definitely the producer’s feel for it. He wanted that in there.”
Some critics like the new arrangement. Me? I prefer Kris’s stripped down version of the song from Idol…

@jammasta: “GC = Gossip Candy, but I’d really warn about going there, it’s quite’ ¦.. odd.”
LOL! Let’s say, GC = Kradam Fans on steroids!!
I googled and found it. That was you? Good job! I really liked it. A heck of a lot more than the original. Did you ever think of submitting it to Dr Demento? It may be outdated now, but he probably would have played it. It has ZOMBIES!
I just saw Kris’ tweet about Left 4 Dead 2. See, even he likes zombies!
I’ve been to GossipCandy before, but only when linked. I guess I never really looked around. Hey, it’s fandom. It’s odd by definition. It’s only bad if it’s creepy.
We all know that the Idols don’t really get as much freedom as they would have wished with regards to their debut albums. Kris just vocalized something to that effect. Why are we still surprised?
urrgghhh i’m so late to the party that even alexa chung’s llwd video says “ooops video not available”
nvm guess i can youtube it
I love the song precisely because it’s cheesy! Hahaha Kris’s vocals make you just want to crawl inside the song and cuddle with it hahaha I listened to both Kris’s and Adam’s versions, and Adam’s was overproduced beyond all recognition, and it’s not surprising to me that people gravitated more to Kris’s version. My favorite part of the song has nothing to do with mountains and hurricanes LOL I love the part in the bridge where he just goes, “YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHH, there are nooooo boundrays! There are no bound-rays!” His ‘yeah’ in that part kinda makes you wanna go outside, pump your fists in the air and get into Karate Kid-inspirational-movie-montage mode LOL
Did anyone ever get the Chung interview link?
NO, that wasn’t me. But yeah I’ll take the credit for it!
.
Just kidding, but I’m not really good at changing lyrics. I’m still waiting for someone to write For Your Information because someone put FYI instead of FYE and I found it extremely entertaining.
Also, it is odd, but I like it there, it’s kinda hilarious. I liked “Krisis” and “Adamam” LOL. I also like when they say “(body part) porn” when they show a picture of Kris or Adam with emphasis on the (body part). Like “nose porn”.
