Ain't No Sunshine (Studio Recording) - Kris Allen [Download]

[teeyahh08]

That handsome man can sing to me any day. I'm just saying though..

[klashkat]

This version is the best version. Lauren Alaina's version of If I Die Young is the best version. Looks like there really was some point to American Idol! :)

[mahwaznatinoor]

i like luigiano version better :)

[AliImtiaz4]

Check Ali Zafar's version, you gotta forget this one! watch?v=mhEAdDUWjfs

[thehocuspocus9]

i actually like the live version most. the music instruments during the live stage fit perfectly, as well as his singing then, so spontaneous so original so allen. it was just perfect. a competition winning performance.

[TheAtanas1]

his is a Great singer BUT BILL WITHERS IS THE BEST!!!

[ritzrisk]

I too forgot how great he sang this song. Love it!

[victoriaisntsosecret]

This was a beautiful cover, but the original version kicks...butt.

[karine131517]

replay button raped.

[kissandra]

Mmm

[kissandra]

I distinctly remembered he did a good job with this song, but man, I'm forgot just how good it was

[TheSanoreeta]

i jus love his version

he has dona a gr8 job !

[laggie24]

Ya can hardly ruin this superb song ... ya can believe every word of it ... this chap truely is inlove with this song... is like his singing for his life's loved one ...all the emotions that can be said/sang are here. Well done :-)

[pooploopscoopable]

song gives me a fuckin erection.

[attta999]

@pooploopscoopable LOL

[ryancoats]

this song compleatly ffits him...Its like it was written for him

[SpacedSounds]

I am a Adam lambert Freak!!!

But Kris Allen is great :)

2 Styles , " Voices, " diferent persons. 2 PERFECTS

[NamGungBeomHwan]

좋아요 ㅇ ㅡ ㅇ

[2pacAmazesSuperman]

@NamGungBeomHwan i agree with you!

[cooljob9]

beautiful cover of this song! love so much his voice and styling

[hounddog117]

I remember how floored I was when I saw this on idol. I said this guy is a true star!!!

[msu4spartans]

This is not a good cover for the song. There are hints of emotion but i dont think he got the song or what it is talking about. If you do how can u sing this song in an upbeat tone. He is using the post Backstreet Boys soft voice that everyone likes but does not and should not be sung for every song. There is a saying that to translate a language into another language is treason because u ruin the deeper meaning of what the language is saying. Well this was treason of the original song.

[StephSingerGirl23]

I giggle every time I hear this song..... I love Kris Allen.... he makes me giggle. :)

[711bogdan]

definately the best cover of this song

[upstateconnie]

Terrible. Why change the melody of a perfect song? You can't beat the original.

[23aztek]

@upstateconnie

Because otherwise it would be a copy. Do you prefer copies?

[upstateconnie]

@23aztek No, I prefer people to do original music and not COPY songs that once were huge hits to make money. This clown is a flash in the pan.

[23aztek]

@upstateconnie

Well, me too. But this is a way to achieve good music. Today's youth would never listen to standards.

Besides that, I've heard many covers of this song, and this is a good one. I prefer a good cover of a good, old song, than "original" Gaga or Bieber shit.

[upstateconnie]

@23aztek I've never been a fan of covers, or movies sequels, for that matter, but I guess there really is nothing new under the sun. I love how American Idol always makes the kids sing Motown, or other older music. No one had to sing through an autotuner then. Any vocally-challenged dork these days who has an Autotune and a good publicity machine can be rich and famous, even if theyre barely mediocre. Bieber is the new Donny Osmond, sans talent.

[lemoncreamcake]

Beautiful cover. I just love his voice and his album. Looking forward to Kris's future songs:)

[lemoncreamcake]

Sigh...can't I watch any Kris Allen's video in peace? For American Idol non-watcher like me, all these meaningless comparisons are getting really annoying and very VERY irritating.

[lyriclover98]

i want a boy to think like this about me!!!!

[djstarr1997]

PERFECT!!!!! FREAKIN PERFECT!!!!!!!!

[coreyandrewbrown]

@djstarr1997 thats what she said

[sunisshined]

This song made me cry like the river

I was born in devil red hot summer hellywood Vietnam

If the Sun not shined for me, the Sun won't shine for anyone

Peace never come to this world till everyone learn to cry

From the hellywood to hollywood, from the homeless shelter to the White-house

From the poorest to the richest on Earth, from the slaves to the King-the Queen

The Moon cannot shine, sometime dark sometime light

The moon cannot make the World go around.There is no Mercy+Loyalty in the Moon

[punkettes86]

I LOVE KRIS ALLEN!! :3

[djstarr1997]

@punkettes86 AMEN 2 THAT!!!!!!

[xGlamMonster]

just let's stop talking that Adam should have won... i think Adam is better than Kris,, but kris can really good sing as well. And maybe it's a little sad for him that everyone is talking about that Adam is much better.? And Adam is touring over the world,, and has a record-deal,, so Adam 'won' too.<3

[djstarr1997]

@xGlamMonster exactly!!!! there albums came out within a week of each other. they both won but kris just got the title. they're both idols 2 me.

[kristikool299]

I love this! I think Kris and Adam were both winners. They both have gorgeous voices. They are totally different but both great! I wish people would quit comparing them and still debating over who should or shouldn't have won. And leave Kris alone about being gay. "Adam kissed Kris" and stuff like that. I won't get into my opinion about lifestyle choices I don't think either of their sexualities' has anything to do with their voices. Bravo to both of them.

[tonks1988]

sorry but nothing like the original.

[AlannahClaire]

@tonks1988 Thats the point of American Idol.

[musefeverfever]

@tonks1988 well obviously, he has to make it his own.

[tonks1988]

@musefeverfever sometimes it works. Like his cover of Heartless.

[TheTweetypickler]

great job kris love your singing excellent

[JonyRanebo]

God, this guy MURDERED this song!

[dapdapdap0]

he's so so great. i love his voice:D

[tedkawaii]

this song is HOT!!!

[Shank40]

i tink dis was his best

[Devilived7887]

Best version ever! ;) chris is great! :D

[23alex6]

is adam christian?

[j1vip]

@23alex6 no he's Jewish

[HopelessDaydreamer55]

I actually like this better than the original. He does this so well... His phrasing is just perfect <3

Aaron Kelly did it justice, but he had nothing on Kris' cover.

[j1vip]

the best version ! 

[memehihi1]

awesomeee :D

[YaMA2ndMUSIC]

i like adams songs, i didnt know that kris cud sing this good too:D like this song:)

[Niki12klimowicz1]

KRIS ALLEN IS NOT GAY aDAM LAMBERT IS THE ONE WHO IS! GEEZ KRIS HAS A WIFE CAN'T ANYONE GET THAT THROUGH THEIR HEAD!

[harleeandcheychey]

his voice is so powerfull and fine

[HalfBillion]

Wicked groovy, I wish I could sing like this, and then shred a guitar solo.

[AbgJubox]

@HalfBillion

grooovy? did they just defrost u or something??

[HalfBillion]

@AbgJubox I probably should have said "wicked hip"

[XRoihuX]

@AbgJubox

Dude, you're way late. Groovy's the newest groovy thang, brah.

[roainglionproduction]

anal sunshine...XD hahah!

[3baller4]

@roainglionproduction hahahhahahahahhahahhaahahah. dam u now i gotta think of butts throughout the song.

[bsketlerj]

@roainglionproduction ahaha omg xD you're right ahahaha !

[beastienesss]

i dont know whats so special about his cover. Nobody can sing this song like BILL WITHERS did. It takes pure soul and heart to sing it. BILL WITHERS FOR LIFE!!! =]

[StephSingerGirl23]

LMAO! It sounds like he says "anal sunshine".......

[theunforgottenfisch1]

Love this song. Both artists were amazing. You can't compare the two styles, because they're so different. Adam had the octane 90 to nothing sound, and Kris was more of a laid back, soul type singer. Both are great in their own spheres. Neither lost, because both got record deals. I don't even know why it's a debate. Just be happy for both of the two very talented guys.

[csinoh07]

check out Joshua Yeryk's cover of this! You won't be disappointed! TRUST ME!

[awesomegirls6]

Hottt

[Crazymonkey7878]

I like him and danny gokey 

[pastordisastor]

@Crazymonkey7878 i loved danny!

[allorthepony7]

i love you kristopher

[bthying]

Wow...Good music !

[SofiaWINS]

Loved his cover(:

Shaun Smith did a spectacular job on this song on last years Britain's Got Talent.

[cookiefan24]

Love his version of it so much!! Kick Awesome!

[ilovemyDavidArchie]

one of the best interpertaions of this song

[girllycrave95]

i love him i gots his album

[igalvan5]

Aaron kelly (season 9 of american idol) sung this wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better...(thats what i thought)

[Jmob1230]

@igalvan5 thats messed up man that aaron sucked

[gurlz87me]

@igalvan5 If you have trouble with your ears the you will say that.Judges really loves it especially the final performances

[ForTheHorde1994]

I really dont like the way he changed it!!! ORIGINAL FTW

[gurlz87me]

@ForTheHorde1994 You are not an artist if you sing exactly like the original artist sing

[TheKHUE]

LOL I HEARD "ANAL SUNSHINE"!!!

[Budice53]

The best by far recording of this particular song. I'm so glad he won last year on 'American Idol,' he deserved it!

[standtogether11]

Is he really saying "AIN'T NO sunshine"? sounds like somethin' else to me . . .

[Distresscallinhell]

Hes boring most of it is like on a one staff line it puts me to sleep and dont  thumbs down me cuz its true Im in chorus and I sing more pitches and notes then he could ever sing e.e

[sporeKAfan]

@Distresscallinhell Oh really? I will believe you if you win American Idol...obviously a Lamebird fan LOL

[Distresscallinhell]

@sporeKAfan Pft I know I wouldnt win and what about you mr high and mighty u aint gonna win american idol and hes dull I fell asleep and my bunny fell asleep listening to him

[badesquisse]

Love his live performances of this song on Idol, both of them. Kris Allen behind a piano is just plain hot.

[unhealthycarrot]

epic cover, usually when people to get to the part where they sing "i know" its usually the same but not with kris allen

[PinkFrostyDonut]

The best version of this song is by Shaun Smith - Ain't No Sunshine.

[sporeKAfan]

@PinkFrostyDonut Nice try...Lamebird fan LOL

[BekahT2038]

I wish Kris had sped it up a bit...I saw a video of Johnny Weir doing this song, he's a figure skater not a singer and I like the way he sung it, even if it wasn't perfect.

[ammerocks]

Why did last season have three amazing singers and this season has none? Crystal is good compared to this season's crop but she wouldn't stand a chance against adam or kris.

[trukurupt]

American Idol Finalist Danny Gokey performs at Wild Bill's in Atlanta this Friday....

[jimdivax]

Commanding reimagining of a classic I always loved. Researching this guy after hearing of Adam Lambert (live in Spain and missed the whole Idol thing!) Have to say Allen's voice is ...classier...with a textured edge Lambert just falls short of. Lambert still stellar visually though.

[MissLeorre]

Honestly, he's gooood!

[SalutationsTitan]

WOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!

[andrew19905]

go to mylazysundays(Dot)com to listen to crystal bowersox's virsion of this. its kinda good.

[unhealthycarrot]

EPIC EPIC THIS IS JUST AN EPIC COVER

[ShYtomic]

watch?v=bNTQaujwAKY

[007wuffi]

amazing, love your version

[burbur22hotmail]

this song still belong to billy withers...

[rockywisam123]

this is the best version :D

[Thadumas]

@rockywisam123 ...don't let your unholy lust for this admittedly attractive fellow befoul your musical judgment...the Bill Withers version is and will remain always the best example of this song. And please do not come back with any worthless noise about your supposed entitlement to espouse a valueless opinion. Either get on board..or just get off.

[the90skid20]

Nice song but bill withers

[MrDeadpool78]

Nice!!!

[MultiJoey007]

best versions,,,keep up man

[alegt96]

he's amazing i love him <33

[alliepiee143ily]

Kris Allen > Aaron Kelly. Sorry Aaron fans, but what's he trying to do? First he sings a song done by David Cook and Allison Iraheta. Then Kris Allen? Is he gonna do Mad World or Whole Lotta Love next? Just curious. Anyway, absolutely love Kris' version versus Aaron's.

[AxDxMizanin]

Aint No Sunshine when this song was created

[vanina261]

@BlameItOnTheBoogie93 No Fucking Way!!! This was epic!!!!

[MrOCO1]

Come and listen to our song Ain't No Sunshine

by CAROCO.

POWERPOP ROCK

[BlameItOnTheBoogie93]

Okay.... I gotta say it. Kris, 16 year old Aaron Kelly destroyed you with this song!

Just sayin'

[NarutoOwnsU]

@BlameItOnTheBoogie93 are you on drugs, Kris destroyed kelly's version

[Muzicsallitsworth]

Adam wasnt really as great as ppl made him out to be.....all he had was his scream for american idol....honestly danny gokey and that 16 yr old girl were better america was very very wrong

[hollisterbabii28]

@Muzicsallitsworth Everyone has opinions. i respect yours. Why would people not think he is great just because YOU think he is not? A majority of the people love Adam. Thats why he went through to the finals. and is currently VERY succesful.

btw, if danny gokey was better, then why isn't any of his country songs on the Billboard charts? I do agree that Allison is great too. Thats why many people look at Adam Allison and Kris as the true top 3 :)

[denisse1118]

@hollisterbabii28 I think they were all good in their own way. But the comment about Danny and why he's not on the Billbord is nothing short of an uninformed assumption. These are his realling rankings...

Album

: My Best Days

#4 Billboard 200

#3 Billboard Country Albums

#3 Billboard Digital Albums

#3 iTunes Country Albums

#18 iTunes Top Albums

#3 Amazon Country Albums

#12 Amazon Music

[hollisterbabii28]

@denisse1118

sorry i should have clarified it more :) ...i meant the Billboard chart top hot 100. I follow this chart because it has all the genre of music in one chart. For example, its obvious Danny would be on the top Country Albums chart because its a specific catagory.

[denisse1118]

@hollisterbabii28 I LUVVVV Allison for the record but the day (or week) that she debuted her album, she barely made the top ten albums on itunes, trust me. Kris has the lowest ever number of sales on his debut cd (lower than Taylor Hicks!) for an AI winner. I didn't like Adam when he was in AI but he's a very good Lady Gaga-type, grade-A pop singer now. Adam should've win if it was between Kris and him, I'll give you that. .

[denisse1118]

@hollisterbabii28 But in the midst of glorifying Adam, don't put Danny down cuz if you crunch all the numbers, he beats Allison and Kris by a mile and he's neck and neck with Adam. I know that everyone has opinions, but don't let your opinions cloud the facts

[SuperFizzyPop75]

this is one of my favorite songs

[xxhanaxxbluexx]

his voice is smooth and mellow. he did a great job with this song. suits his voice, so did man in the mirror.

[Stephie2007]

>_> thanks for sharing *goes to press spam button*

[MJwifeyLuv]

Probably 1 of d greatest version =)

I ♥ it so0o much .

[DanceLaughAdam]

Ill admit that it was a good performance, but it doesnt mean Im happy about it (Im a hater)! Kris still looks like Hal Sparks taking a dump when he sings and his mic picked up his Darth Vader breathing at the end, but hes a looker and coming into his own. Bollocks! BTW Kris, you picked the wrooong time to get married, son. Think of all the ladies (and gents?) that would grovel at your stampy guitar-dancing feet. Wifey Allen better watch out is all Im sayin.

[hoopstaguy]

probably one of the hardest songs to cover! Good job

[EmilyStoleTheCookie]

Loveeeeeee his cover of this beautiful song. <3Kris<3 :D

[blakergirl21]

Honestly, I always loved Adam, but Kris does this song incredibly. It made me become a fan of his also!

[giggilamour]

@blakergirl21 dito!

[thesillysock]

@blakergirl21 Why are people constantly comparing the two? They are very different.

[msljyoung]

Awesome Kris! Thank you, Bless!

[sheehun]

his voice make me melted so damn, baby im in love with you kris<3

[JausonP]

can someone listern to the song I have sung and tell me whether this song will suit my voice?? What do you think? Thanks...

[Aedheen]

:X:X:X i love this version of the song..

[RJP7093]

i remembering really liking Chris' rendition of this song. i just realized he looks kinda like colin farrel (sp).

[1majal]

I had listened to different rendition of this dongs from Bill Withers, Sting but I love Kris Allen's because you can just feel the passion, the soulness of this song from his heart. Everbody can sing this song but you can hear. Kris sings with warmth and feeling. I love you Kris.

[JELENAXD]

Kris you are AMAZING!

[candicewwe]

this voice...omgggggg i'm just so inlove (h)

[xoxAfterTheRainxox]

at first i thought adam should've won, but i like kris a LOT more than adam. he's better all around. i just liked watching adam all animated on stage, but you don't get that when you just listen to him. kris' voice actually has character. danny was really good too

[kmsvlly]

love this guy. this is why I voted for you

[jamiahtheblogger]

MJ's version was good too.
