Kris Allen – Tour Rehearsal – Behind the Scenes
Those who bought Kris Allen’s iTunes site pass get exclusive access to tour videos, including this one I’m posting right here. OK, so it’s not so exclusive if people are uploading it to You Tube! Heh.
Kris talks about the win, the tour, and he rehearses a bit of “Ain’t No Sunshine” with the band.
Here’s a little tidbit for you. You’ll notice the shot of the “Bright Lights” sheet music in one of the shots? That’s a Matchbox 20 song. So, Rob Thomas got a text message informing him that Kris might be singing his song. He texted back, “Very nice.” Hee.
Check out Kris Allen talking about the tour, after the JUMP..

I’ve had a couple problems w/itunes and they’ve always been helpful through the email service on itunes.
I’ve got all Matchbox 20 CDs, as well as, Tabitha’s Secret and Rob Thomas as a solo artist. I prefer Rob Thomas w/the group. Seeing the lyric sheet for Bright Lights, although not my favorite song, made me happy. I think Kris is versatile vocally (tmDavid Cook), able to sing any genre, but Allenize-ing (tmPaula) it. I, too, like that his music choices are very contemporary and radio-friendly. I grew up with rock — my first album purchase was Alice Cooper’s Schools Out — so not cool according to my guy friends back then. I was young. LOL
Although, I loved Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On whenever I heard it on the radio, being a rocker girl, I never thought to invest in a R&B artist. After Kris sang it, I remembered how much that song moved me and finally bought it. I, also, bought Man in the Mirror, not a fav, but Kris re-introduced me to it, gaining a greater appreciation for it, especially lyrically.
The tour should be well worth the money. (Though, I do think the price of tickets are way too expensive)
wish there was an MJ song on that list. “Man in the Mirror” especially…
My Kris must have worked really hard. I’ve never seen more than one zit on his forehead before
I’m looking forward to the long version of Ain’t no sunshine coz the AI studio version was so disappointing.
I agree that Kris’s set looks great (with the exception of NB – I’m sorry, Kris!)
But Ain’t no Sunshine is so beautiful, and Heartless is a big crowd pleaser. Hey, Jude just seems perfect for him too.
I for one think it’ll be really interesting to have such a different feel to the Adam set vs the Kris one – with Adam more of an arena rock sound, and Kris more of an intimate sound – both good, and a really great contrast to end the show with!
Kris, your fans love you and get you! You’re amazing, and you’re our quiet storm!
He didn’t sing anything the last time he was on, with Jay. Wonder if he’ll sing this time and what he’ll sing?
great set Kris! so tasteful! I was kinda sure and am very happy that he’s singing Ain’t No Sunshine, I always believe that this was his breakthrough performance…and my all-time favourite AI performance! =)
Love everything Kris sings! Love his voice, his personality, his musical talent, his looks, but I so wish he’d wear something sharp. Hate that plaid shirt! Hate the t-shirts and torn up jeans.
