mich's blog: Kris Allen: Winner of season 8 American Idol

The American Idol Season 8

YEAH! Kris won! yes!

in fact, i started to be a fan of Kris Allen not long ago about 3 weeks ago..cos i didn't really watch this season's AI.. i only began watching from the Top 8.. before that, i used like Adam Lambert when he sang "If I can't Have You"(it was a slow from the disco week). i was so amazed by his vocals..

fast forward.......

until when i watched Top 3, i was little annoyed by Adam's screaming falsetto, the protruding tongue when he screams..so i started to fall in love with Kris Allen especially when he sang "Heartless" only with his acoustic guitar as accompaniment..that was Really GOOD, it was so brave of him to do that!

when it comes to Top 2(the ShowdowN), Kris' rendition of "Ain't No Sunshine" was so NICE! he melted my heart with his piano skills..however, i got to agree with the judges that the second song was rather light for the finale.. i personally feel that Kris' version of "No Boundaries" was softer on the ears..it inspires the people who listened to the song, of course I'm no exception!..like what Kara said "you inspire the audience"(something like that la..i'm not really sure..) since i don't subscribe to Astro, i have not watch the results episode(I'll watch tonight), i found out that Kris Allen is the Winner from the newspaper.. Li yun, he won!

i guessed Kris Allen's style and voice suited me better..after much appraisal for Kris, i must admit that Adam is as good as Kris..his high notes was perfect and his falsetto was astonishing.. I'm sure there are many people out there who feel that Adam is more deserving of the title, Adam's voice better and etc...but Kris is as well deserved for the title as Adam..i was indeed shock that Kris won cos' Adam was the the all-time favourite. I'm actually listening to his songs right now while typing this blog..his voice is very special in its own way...

here's some photos of Kris Allen!
