Best version ever! Maybe Dia's version is better live but this studio version kills 'em all. And also the album version that Kris did is pretty awsome i think :)
@pinkhippie135 "because" and Simon Cowell is a fucking dumbass who was only on the show for comedy. wierd how after he and paula left REAL talent was discovered
@MrsBieber4646 So what if they don't know him. They're criticizing his singing they don't need to know for that idiot. You're in no place to talk about anything, look at your username.
so this is the 80's version of it? would be such a shame if this was some reandom persons first introduction to the song, such a waste, if were talking covers, its the fray, but kanye owns it. hate all you want his heartbroke and this is the blood that came forth.
Kanye's live performance is the most beautiful thing I ever seen. He can't sing like this but the raw emotion he exhibits borders on clinically psychotic.
This version is good, but Dia did not copy it. she clearly had a distinct take with this song. All three versions are different. I personally i like Dia's version better because of the the different twirks with her version. This starts out a little too slow for me. his voice is too soft it feels very passive. but in the long run i would listen to this version too

I personally i like Dia's version better because of the the different twirks with her version. This starts out a little too slow for me. his voice is too soft it feels very passive.
@phisherton Obviously she's good enough to break top 20 on iTunes. That's almost as high as Kris's winners single was. Kris straight up took the Fray's melody while Dia made the Fray's version her own. Don't be a hater, brah.
@augustrunsred exactly. Dia added the Falsetto into the song at several points: I actually think that addition makes her version distinctly different. I actually think all the versions sound pretty different.
@sergel02 That's true. Im not a big fan of rap but the rap that I do like most comes from the 90s. Today's rappers (at least in the US) are stupid. Unfortunately its what sells
@lestat83bv Well not that well. When you look at the top pop stars and best selling albums, its like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Antebelum and the only main rapper really on top is Eminem, and he's in a different league
@taurean420 Lol oh get over it. adam didnt need the title anyway. i was pissed off for the like the 1st month. its been 2 years now. time to move on. dwelling on the past is not healthy
@taurean420 OK we get it you like Adam more but he is still a singer just because he didn't win doesn't mean that people weren't still interested in him. The second place always gets an offer of some kind and usually get their songs out faster than the winner. Thinking of that would you really want him to win if it meant waiting twice as long for him to come out with a CD?
the love of my life made me fall in deep love with him and all of a sudden ended us and got with a new gf two days later and he calls her his world and everything, when only a few weeks ago he was saying those things to me. like this if you think this boy is simply heartless.
@MsSolembum Adam wouldn't have gotten as far as he has if he had won, because he would have been tied to AI. Since when has a winners Idol record hit it big? Not winning gave him the freedom to get signed to bigger and better labels.
@SunnyDest hmmm.... no one huh? i would imagine that kris allen probably associates this song with kanye west considering the fact that yes, kris allen can sing way better than kanye and he doesnt use autotune... but guess what? kris allen cant write a hit song, "live like we're dying" is weak and just proves no matter how good you can sing, it doesnt matter if you cant write a song that someone wants to hear you sing. Thats the biggest problem with a lot of the Idols. All pipes, no creativity.
:/ That comment didn't make a single relevant point to my comment. Besides, your 'live like we're dying' example fails, since it's originally The Script's. Anyway, Idol is all about singing, so everyone will look at singing won't they? Not that I care about Idol, I'm here for the music. Kris Allen's pretty good :)
No-one watches a video because it's better. they watch a video to judge whether or not it's better, so using views as a argument is completely invalid, since you don't know the motive.
52,555,663/1,129,565=46.5273473
39,839/46.5273473=856.
If Kanye west's Video had exactly the same views as this one, this video would have 1591 more likes than his. Statistics - Can't beat 'em.
Okay, so I'm a HUGE Kanye West fan, and Hip Hop fan. I do indeed enjoy many other genre's of music tho. Now I must say that this is an amazing cover version. His vocals are great.
OMG! it's so sad that people can't see that his vocals are freaking amazing and that this cover is the BEST! and i mean BEST! of them all! his vocals are DROP DEAD amazing <3
@britneyLovesMusik You are right on! This performance by Kris was awesome! By far, the best performance of 'Heartless'. Some people just can't accept the fact that Kris has so much talent and a killer voice. It's sad that after almost 2 years, people are still denying his talent. I love and adore him and his music!
Best than original!
