not bad, his vocals were very good but the background music took away from it, so overall my faves would be Dia's and The Fray's version, followed by the original and this one. :)
Kanye: "Yo Kanye, I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but Kris Allen's version was the best version of Heartless of all time! Of all ti---wait."
Kris Made it sound Much better without sounding all complicated & he doesn't make it sound as much as a rap than a song ... Kris's Version seems Much Better :) But Kanye Is still Pretty good at what he does (:
he kinda over does this a little bit. i think the frays is the best. it is dark the way it was meant to be. this seems to jumpy just like kanyes song but i like kanyes better than this but the frays best.
I don't get why people like Fray's version. Fray's version is so plain! But, I did just listen to like 20 seconds of it. I couldn't take it anymore. Sorry to all you people that like Fray's version better, this is just my opinion.
this version is way better. no offence.. to kanye's fan's but who is kanye's fan after what he did? any way, i got off track. kris allen rocks my sox off!!!
Don't like the Fray version. I like the Fray, just not their take on this song. Kris's sounds the best to me. Kanye's song, but others are out doing him on it. Go figure.
adam was wack, and he look freakin scary, he wasn't very talented, the only thing he had going for him was how he can reach the high notes and thats about it, i honestley couldn't see what kind of music he would make besides weird creepy music, but hey if you wanna go out and buy that s h i t then go ahead hahahaha
I agree. The only reason Kris won was because he was "a cute guy". Adam Lambert could crush him in anything, anywhere, anytime, except probably in sports.
I like Kanye's version and Kris's version both equally. But I still respect Kanye for openly admitting that people sing Heartless better than him. You gotta give it up to Kanye though, he's one of a few rappers branching out into pop/rock. That whole album heartless was on was primarily him singing. Also, Nawaz10, everybody in the mainstream music business has used auto tune.
Kanye is a genius plain and simple. Awesome producer, Awesome writer, Great Rapper. Very versatile and talented dude, and all the covers of the song are cool but his version is awesome as well.
kris allen is so good...this is one of our favorite song of my friend...he is actually better that kanye...to my friend, MUV ON!...you can do it... ochieboi from manila...
u can't just say this version of a song is better than that version. all songs are different even if they are the same so... it's not like u can compare em
how do u know if he wasnt better than kanye? how is it what ur saying even a fact? its our opinion, but the its true that the original is more special since its not a copy.
man, do i love this song! even tho its a little old for me, its still one of my favs. i think hes a really good singer
the funny thing is, these guys on youtube made a parody to this song and i gotta tell you, its really entertaining! if you want, search : "it makes the cereal taste good" on youtube and its the first one! hahaha
Okay, now im not a Kris allen fan, but hes a decent singer. But Im not making any rude comments anout Adam, ... comments on Kris's videos should be about Kris, and Kris only. Yes, by now everyone knows Adam's gay, much of the world is upset, but everyone seriously needs to stop talking aboit it!! Its become more of a talked about subject then the man's immaculate singing!! You know? He is a singer/entertainer.
you people take this way too seriously they both have talent and both are very different being gay has nothing to do with anything they both have albums coming out thats it grow up its a t show for crying out loud get your panties out of a twist theyre both good
whats with this adam and kris competition??? STOP IT!!! besides i like allison better then both of them combined!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Adam has the voice of a legacy. Their are very very very few people on this planet with the god-given gift to hit notes the way he can. Kris is not one of those people.
Kris won because Adam is homosexual and people did not want to vote for him because of that. And people thought "Oh he's already won, why vote!?" That is why Chris Daughtry was voted off too. Adam Lambert is a better singer by a mile. Listen to the studio version of Mad World, and try to say Kris is better than him. Adam has a once of a generation voice.
adam really has a broadway voice, Kris one because of style. Adam might be able to do more vocal gymnastics but I think it's fair that Kris won--it's not like he's horrible
You're retarded. I said Adam was gay AND people thought "oh he's gunna win why vote for him?" THAT'S WHY HE WAS VOTED OFF. It seems that maybe I didn't say it clearly enough for some people like you who have not a shred of common sense.
yeah amazing in the 80's heh Not saying its bad but the purpose of the show is to find an artist to fit the popular music role not the 80's role. No matter how good he was.
jeynes song sounds much better but maby thats cus of better effects and mote sponsers idk this guy makes it sound like a balled when personaly i dont think thats how this song should be sung
