Kris Allen Heartless American Idol Season 8

[Supritist]

Ofcourse this cover was GREAT and as much as we may prefer Kris's version, please lets not forget the man behind such a masterpiece, all the hardwork he put in this song e.g writing, composing a melody that made kris able to sing it beatifully, and even he produced the song. Learn how to appreciate and give credit where its due instead of bluffing out disrespectfully about how this version is better e.g 'Who Kanye again?' 'He makes Kanye's version look like shit'. Cut the bulshit.

[TheSiignne]

Oh My God. Heard that Kanye covered this.

[tokillamockingbirdd]

oh god he is boring

[byrnz35]

@tokillamockingbirdd trololololololololololo

[McR4EvEr13]

I could sleep to this song :) I love his voice and I wish I watched idol when he was on

[shortyyy22]

this version is amazing and kris deserved his win!

..but people should give props to Adam for helping Kris with this..

[pupdog96]

GR8!!!

[omeedtv]

Whats the chords to this?

Piano?

[gravityattalla97]

@omeedtv Am Dm F E7

[xXchocolatexX1]

Kayne West !!

[antikan1]

güzelmiş ama Kanye West daha iyi

[Xn9a7ug]

Beatiful..

[mofo1100]

everyone should go listen to The Fray's version its my favorite maybe it will be yours too :)

[katgum24]

It's all about Dia Frampton's version ! :)

[baileyellis337]

i didn't like her version so much, maybe cuz i was expecting it to be like this

[nick11562]

Dia Framptons version PWNS all other versions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NikaMyastkovskaya]

@nick11562 YES! Dia's version was the best i've ever heard!!! Check it out!

[DudeOpen]

o crap i never knew the original was this good! kanyes cover really sucks.

[Crayolakid1]

@DudeOpen your being sarcastic right.

[LapKidProductions]

@DudeOpen Hope you're joking

[cosminroFTW]

Dudes, it depends of what kind of music you like. I agree this is a good interpretation, but I love hip hop and Kanye West is a great rapper, so I like his version better. Stop doing useless debates.

[sullenboy1o3o]

Kanye dosn't have the best singing voice, and he dosn't claim to be. But kanye is a monster talent when it comes to making music.

[Cbluesrocker]

@sullenboy1o3o Than he should be a producer. Nobody likes seeing him on stage anymore.

[SweenyTodd98]

Kris did not deserve to win season 8. He was competing with Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, and Danny Gokey.

[Nynban]

@SweenyTodd98 - But he did. And boy, did he deserve it. Well actually I would've had a hard time to choose between Allison and Kris. But other than that ... nope no competition. You might want to take the drama llama with you on your way out. It's only two years old, guess that's why it has this ~tendency to stray into Kris Allen - YT-threads.

[HEYLETSRAVEALLNIGHT]

Big ups to Kanye for being able to write a masterpiece without being able to sing

[12345cdog12345]

@HEYLETSRAVEALLNIGHT You can hardly call it a masterpiece

[azn11111112222222]

i found out kanye had a cover

[BrocktonAnderson]

I love kris allen

[BrocktonAnderson]

@tienbreak

your a meanie pants KRIS IS THE BEST EVER!

[vina1116]

his live performance in idol is far better than this recorded version...the rawness (acoustic) of his songs/music made him win the contest...please keep him raw coz he is at his best when he performs that way

[StrickJay]

Check out 'My Dudes Band" Cover of this song thats the band name... My Dudes Band.... just type it in the search

[ajaxnerd4]

this is good but i like the version of kanye west more

[cooljob9]

love this!!

[soxfan91293]

@tienbreak mine too..haha

[jorgeasilen]

Their is no such thing as Kriss version kriss's cover.. I like both just happens that kanye's something new and he actually wrote the song!!

[huntswag]

I defintly like Kanye's version better

[georzzzs]

the fray version is better 

[66ChocolateBar]

wow im in shock best singer ever

[Thetoadman2926]

kanye is a racist fuck stick... 

[SkyfoxNsL]

People don't release that kanye's version is more hip-hop... this isn't hip-hop... stop compare

[robjoe1316]

usually I hate remakes by people other than the original artist, but this dude does this song better than kanye does. only other time i think someone did that was counting crows' remake of Friend of the Devil by grateful dead

[JBr33zyMusic]

Who's Kayne Again?

[MrSocca101]

@JBr33zyMusic i dont know who kayne is but i do know who kanye is LOL

[MrJiky89]

@MrSocca101 hahahah

[bobson9100]

@JBr33zyMusic That is the man who originally performed this magic.

[bourtoukla]

@JBr33zyMusic Kayne West !

[smavinger]

Better than the album version he has on Youtube...reminds me of George Michaels style...but the Fray's version

[calarkie]

Kris Allen blows Kanye out of the water. His voice is more authentic, purer, and downright stellar. Kanye is a dumb ass at best. Kris can sing!!!

[cookiesenyor655]

@pscanyc3 yοu саn ԝаtсհ tv frοm all οver thе ԝorld on yοur рc ϳսѕt by dοwոlοadiոց sοmе prοgrаm, it'ѕ got tհοսѕands of cհannelѕ οո it. just go tο linevid com (рսt a . bеfore the com, it ԝoո't lеt mе post lіnks for sοme rеаѕoո) іt's а bit pricеy bսt it'ѕ јuѕt oոе tіme aոd іt workѕ really well

[minwoo28]

Kanye is better cause he had the creativity and talent to actually compose the song

[Arturostunes]

Well kayne's is all auto-tuned... and no one can argue that :P - This guy can actually sing like that :p

[Neezy90zU]

It was Kanye's. So the Fray or Kris wouldn't have it without him, but I have to say Kris is better than the original :)

[gennnech]

prefect , but still the fray rock's

[7polomarco1]

@gennnech I agree!!!

[dominiqueacts]

The Fray's version is better than them all ;)!

[jessie3treats]

i love love love this version of the song he put his twist on it its AMAZING

but he woldn't havve this song without Kayne West soo lets calm it down....

But Kris ALLEN totallyt murders the song in a good way

[TheLtMajor]

any day this is better, he uses HIS voice. this guy doesnt need a computer to change the sound of his voice and its dissapointing that he does that to his albums

[Hassus]

No way this is better than Kanyes, kids. Sorry

[majoyfulful]

i'm heartless :)  ♥

[kimikilledash]

I love Kanye West. And I didn't know how much Kris Allen was amazing until he sang this song. xD

[itsallgood8908]

this version is amazing.

[sara9896]

adam is better

[bcherefosho]

Kanye,I'd let you finish,it's just that I wanted to say,

that Kris Allen has the greatest renedition of Heartless of all time.

OF ALL TIME

[stargirl072897]

this sounds better than kanye west version but the other one is still pretty good

[tsaerakounes]

actually i agree..im more on this version..BT everyone did some versions of this song and it was a ns try anw..BT all the cheerings go to kaney because he was the writer and the really singer of it..GOOD JOB BOTH ,KANEY AND KRIS

[sjjms]

so much better than kanye's version...

[RatedRKOMorrison7]

kris es el mejor ^^

[jai200595]

why does everyone cover this song? justin beiber, jason derulo, the fray, everyone is...

[JellisrellishPhotos]

@jai200595 because it could've been a great song, but kanye messed it up. So now other artists have to fix it.

[franciso7]

@JellisrellishPhotos

thas such a dumb comment...without Kanye non of this singers could have come up with this great song...Kanye is not even a singer..how can you compare???LOL...Kanye The Best

[titus284]

Yeah this version is better then Kanye's.... Kanye can wright good songs but i cant stand his voice. i think he is crap.... Check out the Frays version of this song its great

[kamie2cute]

mmmm me likey

[sweetbabygirl008]

WOW REALLY HOT U GUYS <3

[SecondhandK]

the fray's version is far the best :)

[katyjbk04]

much better than kanye

[auag19]

people say this idea was stolen from Mia from taking the stage, but anw I love both

[Bulletiq]

The Fray's version is better than kanye's too...

[UchihaMinagi]

@Bulletiq I agree..The fray is way better

[n00niii]

[layla8181]

Chris allen is sooo awesome!!!!!

[deadlybutsexy]

I lovee this songg, it soo much in this version !

[dieutho88]

[studmuffin8964]

I THINK HE'S WAY BETTER THAN THE CONCEITED KANYE!! and we can compare him all we want. kris allen is the better singer in this and there's no doubt about it. kanye's version is very different and sucks

[MacFluurY]

i love him

[dieutho88]

I just like him when I heard this song , it's awesome

[Rightanglemusic]

[vengfu1l]

@Rightanglemusic

[1step2step3step]

u`r right! i made a obsession for this version!

[bloodlustviper]

is it juz me or dis version sounds better thatn kanye's???

no offense.....

[mooselover100]

@bloodlustviper yeah I like it a lot better. I think because there is more emotion in it

[eignav23]

@bloodlustviper, even Randy Jackson think that Kris Allen's version is better than Kanye... I thought so too..

[the99stingrays]

@bloodlustviper I agree it's kind of sad.

[thehuhu]

does anyone know where i can watch the actual live performances of american idol of him singing songs?

[HALFaBANDAID]

@bloodlustviper is it just me, or does every version sound better than Kanye's?

[ricker01100]

@bloodlustviper i cant sing or carry a tune ina bucket...my version sounds better than kayne west lol

[muselova94]

@bloodlustviper Pretty much brah. Guess what. I found some jam in my toes, and I put it in my sandwhich, and it actually is quite satisfying. :D

[dan10inho]

[isaacisthebeast]

@lastbet5491 fuck u dude kanye is the best rapper alive

[smartaleck05]

@isaacisthebeast Heck no, he isn't! He's an okay rapper, but no way near the best.

[BrocktonAnderson]

@isaacisthebeast

Go bother a troll or something. Dont be so heartless-sad face-! :(

[BrocktonAnderson]

@sergi0raymond

I totally agree. GO KRIS! <3

[eMmY553]

[oOSexyVampireoO]

[EpiccSoup]

[oOSexyVampireoO]

[chali1000]

Kanye owns him big time...

[headbanger623]

My class read about people like you today, it's called ummmm, oh yeah Sensorineural hearing loss.

[gumbigum]

You just don't know good music.

[sergi0raymond]

thats an error right there. you mean *Kanye OWES him big time for making "Heartless" a good song

[amirahas]

I don't like this arrangement, but his voice suits the lyrics in an amazing way.

[hikari639]

i like hes voice its hot hot hot

[ic22554]

kanye west is way better

[xjustapersonX]

dude. he is freaggin hawt

and his voice is so beautiful <3

[ginger9297]

i agree

[sexynola]

wtf,.,.he fucin hot,.,.an his voice is hot,.,.i fucin love him

[Starburstplus]

he is so much better then kanye west with this song

[laughinggirl6]

this is great!! he"s so awesomeee

[903softball]

You guys are crazt to think Kayne's version is better! Kris rocked this song! Kayne even admitted on an interview that Kris sang this song better. Kayne is just a sample artist. Taking samples of everyone else's songs.

[LaiKaoPeh]

Kanye: yo Kris, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but that song's mine man...come'on...

[33Courtney1]

ha thats funny, like taylor at the vma's

[kjh052001]

@ahines2002: I agree. As far as covers are concerned Framing Hanley's Lollipop is one of the best. Much better than this one.

[rid3emcowgurl]

@ahines2002 - Framing Hanley's cover of Lollipop" is a different style of Kris' cover of this. They're not really the same other than there is guitar and vocals in both covers lol

[davidhindu]

kanye west is a shit singer compared to Kris and was just lucky to make it till here.

[cheeseUout]

kanye west can sing MUCh better than this guy

[MacDaddyRiggles]

That would be true if Kanye could sing. Kanye can Auto-tune, and from what I understand he's a dynamite producer, and he's definitely a great entertainer, but a singer he's not.

[xdark500]

this guy should just leave it to KANYE WEST

[MacDaddyRiggles]

I like The Fray's version better.

[heartlessnobodyXII]

Adam Lambert is gay.

[tifeitosa]

so?

[smileymileyc]

this i a kris allen song not adam lambert

[RightChocobo]

I know, I like Kris Allen. (heartlessnobodyXII)

[rid3emcowgurl]

@heartlessnobodyXII - Yea... openly gay. lol

[raaa000]

wow...this is way better than kanye west's version!!!

[91SkaterGirl]

I pesonally love both of them! I started crying at the last episode. I really loved them. I couldn't chose who should win.

[Keeyum1833]

Hey, F3arMySk1llz The reason why he gets so much credit for this is because not only is it a good acoustic version but because hes not a jerk like kanye =]

[mizzch3rri3bottom]

they're both good versions.... one's the rap version then the other has a smooth jazz vibe tew it so ilike them both :)

[metsrule660]

kanye is 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0000 better

[arleasami2]

I'll give kayne west credit for comming up with the song but your (messed up) version is not better. Kanye West is a fricken jerk.......

[ballerKMH2]

What does Kanye being a jerk have to do with which song is better?

[F3arMySk1llz]

Ya'll saying ya'll like this version and that version better but kanye came up with the song give credit to the original person who came up with the song. This version wouldn't even exist if kanye wouldn't have came up with the song. But this is a good song period.

[arleasami2]

i luv this version better

kanye west is not better

[Mikey1q1]

are you serious!?

this shit is not even on the same level as kanye.

thats why hes some dumb ass from american idol.

[arleasami2]

I'll give kayne west credit for comming up with the song but your (messed up) version is not better. Kanye West is a fricken jerk.......

[Jeremiah2124]

kanye west is a black nigger, i hope he dies.. but this version can stick around

[bdevil4lif]

I like hip-hop and I like this version better than Kanye's...

[jwong1973]

I love Kris version and also love Kenya West version also

[kamay81]

Kenya West huh?
