This is fantastic.

[eolhc7]

[firestarburst]

Their voices sound so good together. Allison and Kris need to duet on another song ASAP

[jerii07]

this cover, these singers, are totally underrated right now it's kinda pissing me off

[Joselyn559]

this is TALENT.

[gabbythegarf]

best cover of the scientist

[BootsieHanna]

Dear Kris and Allison,

You don't know how lovely you are.

But we do!

[a207idol]

No offense to all the Adam/Allison or Kris/Adam fans coz I really think Kris And Allison's voices and emotions mix together so much better..

[ZivXan]

@a207idol I agree, at least in this song I mean :) I was pleasantly surprised by this performance

[prMLA01]

@a207idol I agree too.

[Rita248]

I want her hair !!!!

[BrettMariee]

@Rita248 I want her figure!

[missbritt228]

Incredible. OMG.

[TashaMarie53]

Allison looked absolutely gorgeous and sounded amazing!!! Love this! in the beginning i thought she was about to cry .

[atlantismoose]

@angelalovesharry music can be whatever you want it to be :) That's why so many people love it.

[yahjme05]

does anyone knows the chords he used...?? great version as always ...^^

[lvoverride]

@yahjme05 Yeah. Use a capo on 2 or 3. The verses are B - A - E (Switch the E chord from 122 to 112 halfway during the bar). The chorus is A - E (again switching from 122 to 112) until after the line "I'm going back to the start, in which case it's E - A - E.

Took me a while to figure it out, but it's deceptively simple.

[RawringIsForRyans]

is that a breedlove? lol

[12guitarrocks]

I love this!

[laurenyupp]

american idol used to actually find amazing singers.. wtf happened?

and im saying these two are great btw :)

[ds403]

I wanna Meet an date Allison

[SYDTV16]

[prMLA01]

@SYDTV16 Who cares? This is about Allison and Kris.

[SYDTV16]

@prMLA01 i care thank you very much :P even though this does slay lol justin saying kradison is the shit

[youmaysayimadreamer5]

Incredible, I wish they'd recorded a studio version!

[deardiaryx0x]

gorgeous. enough said. <33

[kawheeler13]

wow. goosebumps. amazing.

[emileeedar]

amaaazing! no wonder it has 557 likes & only 2 dislikes..

no one can say they dislike this, cause it's so amazing <3

[TimmaayFaant]

I <3 this... Alli looks so pretty, and kris looks cuddly as always. :D I love em both. <3

[AMarie3231]

I think the only way you should do your own version of a song that is already done is if you can do it better....and they did it 100 times better than the original!!! This is so freaking awesome! I want this permanentally playing in the background of wherever I am!

[conniemly]

Woah, this was absolutely incredible.

[claykay2]

oh how I wish you could buy this song done by Kris and Allison!! Kris Allen always sounds sooooo good live you cannot say that about everyone!!

[dennyfuul]

lol tim urban do the same thing :) can't wait for the next american idol contestan do the same thing :p

[3horncinama]

i just like the fact that when stripped away to nothing but vocals and a single guitar, it stills sounds fantastic. In fact it sounds way better that way than anything performed on idol with a huge band. there is something to be said about keeping it simple.

[niiik77]

absolutly love!!!

[ontarianitch]

really people, what did you not like about? no back up band?

[XJeffXNeroXPPV1]

check out my brother's cover of the scientist his channel is ajohansn

[YOGR81]

What a great cover! Bravo!!!

[MrNeil559]

they should really do another duet together

[dennismusic100]

got chills all over my body :) just beautiful! <3

[andypantz7007]

Allison <33

[anthiam1]

just amazing

[Sahsouha1]

Most fantastic Duet in the whole world..always come back for this..love it! We miss u Lizzie & ur fantastic Kris vids!!!

[extranosito]

One day Allison will sing in my birthday party, that's for sure and after that God can take me........

[MidAgeAllisonFan]

Seek out Allison's many acoustic performances on my channel. She's so amazing that she could just about make a career of doing unplugged albums.

[Joselyn559]

Allison's voice is just so AMAZING!!

[Undiscovereddaisy]

her voice ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes, so gorgeous

[mungiuri]

dear world, restore my faith in the human kind and let allison and kris have the career they deserve !!!

[21FullMoonFilms]

...Sweet.

[midnighteyepas]

omg I can't believe this!! I was a marshall student that got rid of my fright from singing infron of audiences in that very room. After I saw Allison for the first time i became a big fan and to see her in that room or at my school at all is amazing but a bitch cause i was long gong. Damnet I wish i would have been there to experience that. FML!!!!!

[dslite804]

Allison really needs to get re-signed. By someone who will actually promote her, unlike *cough* Jive.

[angelalovesharry]

wow. this is incredible. when did music become how many scandals you've had or how unique your music video is? when did it become flashing lights and songs about sex and having a good time? when did it become customary to have a performance with gyrating bodies covered in nothing on the stage with you? when did music become something less than just you, the band, your voice and your passion?

[juniwilliams]

@angelalovesharry you lost me at gyrating, hehe. Very true though

[angelalovesharry]

@juniwilliams lol :D yes.

[liquidxtasy]

@angelalovesharry lol did you forget all the songs that are about sex and having a good time in the 60s/70s? Allison is incredible in this though <3

[angelalovesharry]

@liquidxtasy lol true true, they were pretty darn awesome...but at least they had more taste than the ones now...or at least, that's what i think.

[calarkie]

@angelalovesharry You know, I agree... To me, a great performance is filled with passion, great vocals, and a connection to the song & lyrics. Kris & Allison nailed this song for all the reasons I mentioned. I can't stand the pop crap that is out today. If you can't show your boobs, skirts up to your vagi, or scream the lyrics because you don't have a good voice, well... there you have it folks, the making of a pop star. I say B.S.! Let's bring back some real music with talented vocals.

[angelalovesharry]

@calarkie EXACTLY! EXACTLY! honestly, it's true that i get riled up during a good performance where the person crowd surfs or whatever and it leaves me breathless, but when i'm just sitting there, thinking and listening to an amazing marriage of vocals and emotion, that's the thing that truly moves me and makes me feel.

[5livelaughlove]

@angelalovesharry :O amazingness. Your quote is going on tumblr. putting your user name in it=p

[angelalovesharry]

@5livelaughlove lol i am HONORED!

[nyynygnyknyr1]

What's a kesha?

[1omarbarb]

allison over kesha! yes. btw, this song is by aimee mann (colplay did a cover) check out mann's music. haunting and beautiful.

[kinch6322]

@1omarbarb Coldplay did the original, she did a cover...

[kokohfc]

hicieron mierda esa cancion que esta tan bonitra XD

[roquemocan]

@kokohfc estaban practicando, antes de cantar ante el público

[Angelic750]

@kokohfc ; porke hablas tan bajo, tenias ke ser latino!!!

[xelaras]

these guys are ridiculous, this gives me chills all over.

[MelYoung89]

i absolutely love these two guys... they are so frickin' amazing... Kris has an amazing voice and beautiful tones and Allison just gives me chills everytime she goes for that high note !

[vaderspal]

Amazing. And that little "sweet" at the end is adorable!

[welovereggie]

flawless

[merebear440]

this is probably the most amazing thing ive ever seen

[mykelastic]

just can't stop clicking the replay button..

[benegeseritwhore]

That boy can oooo and awwww like nobody's business.

[LittleOatttts]

word, an recorded original duet would be historical.

[LittleOatttts]

@calarkie oh lawd, that would make my life. this puts any other duet out there to shame. they're usually cheesy as hell, but this is magnificent.

[calarkie]

Kris and Ali have God given talent! It's not forced, produced, or manufactured. It comes from their heart and soul and shows in this perfomance. This is only a rehearsal and they are dynamite! I would love for them to record something together because their style and voices mesh so well together. Awesome duet!

[LittleOatttts]

WTF? @biaJME could you possibly get any more corny?

[telmex79]

awesome

[iSadiee14]

I completely underestimated these two, they're both so naturally talented it's incredible. Damn I wish I could just belt that kind of beauty out and call it a "rehearsal". xD

[biaJME]

Kris Allen is an angel sent from Heaven.

[ed12387]

Sweet indeed!!!!!!!!

[Xxelyssax007xX]

They both have the most amazing voices, I'm glad they did a song together <3

[ssherman999]

Trying to capitalize on the enormous response to Katelyn Epperly's excellent rendition of this song. Find your own inspiration !!!!!!!!!

[charlchris48]

@ssherman999 Sorry but Krallison's version blows her version out of the water 100x's!!

[Angieallis1249]

@charlchris48 , i totally agree with you...

[SnapCracklyPop]

@ssherman999 Kris covered "The Scientist" early February, before Epperly sang it on Idol during top 20

[calarkie]

@ssherman999 Oh shut up you idiot. Did it ever occur to you why K.E. didn't make it very far? Probably because she wasn't very good.  For you go compare a nobody like her to Kris and Ali is a joke!!! These two are so gifted and I would love to see them record a duet!

[ssherman999]

@calarkie I'm entitled to my opinion. Happen to like Alison a ton. She is GREAT!!!!!

K.E. had great potential, hurt the show for me when she left. She blew a lot of us away with her rendition of "Scientist". No need for the personnel attack. Grow Up! SnapCracklyPop already made me feel better about it by informing me Kris covered it first.

[roquemocan]

@ssherman999 This performance was BEFORE Katelyn Epperly's, so they didn't capitalize or copy anything (I liked Katelyn version too, but it makes no sense to say Kris and Allison had ulterior motives)

[Angieallis1249]

It would be nice if Allison goes in a tour with Kris also, that would be fantastic.

[Angieallis1249]

Allison voice is unbelievable, and she is now in concert tour with Adam Lambert.

Wow, I love this three, Allison, Kris and Adam.

[LOLCOPTER]

Man, she has that very nice rasp in her voice.

[TayTay123ize]

love this but how can i put this on my ipod

[bamzs]

God, they sound great together. This is so good.

[brightbaby11]

i've watched this far too many times today...

[calarkie]

This looks funny because Ali is standing on a platform which makes her look so much taller then Kris. Actually, Kris is 5'7" and Ali is 5'2", I think.. they are so good gogether and I would love to hear them record something together!

[THEADORELOVERS]

@calarkie ; yeh, that would a such great Idea if they both record a duet, that would be a serious business.

[THEADORELOVERS]

@calarkie ; Hey Allison is a bit taller, now that she is 18 and older, she's gotten thinner and taller.

[calarkie]

@THEADORELOVERS I don't think turning 18 had anything to do with it but yeah, you can tell she's alot thinner. That makes her look taller for sure. She's still 5"3 and Kris is 5"7". Damn they are both so adorable!!!

[THEADORELOVERS]

@calarkie ; so what are you saying, that Allison should be taller than Kris.

[calarkie]

@THEADORELOVERS NO, I wasn't saying that at all. I just thought it looked funny because when they did the rehearsal in the school music room she was standing on a platform and it made her look taller then Kris but when they performed the song outdoors for the crowd they were on level ground and you could tell she was shorter then Kris, which she is. Maybe you misunderstood me... I think they are both great and I loved this duet! Hope that explains what I meant...

[THEADORELOVERS]

@calarkie ; ok, I got you. I think they are both amazingly brilliant, and get along so well, they definitely should record a duet, perhaps this song, it will be the bomb.

[THEADORELOVERS]

THIS WAS AMAZING, AND MUSIC TO MY EARS.  LOVE IT

[jessT24]

amazing. I'm stoked. that was. amazing.

[jessT24]

amazing. I'm stoked. that was. amazing.

[iashley12]

Absolutely amazing. (:

[dunhamdunhamdunham]

this gives me goosebumps

[bigelowrocks]

i want this on itunes!! its amazing

[hahs4]

allisons voice is perfect this song

[AngelCandy805]

They should record an official version of this song.

[jerebear307]

this is the shizz right here

[Klayster]

That was an amazing rendition!!

[Angelic750]

@Klayster : yep, that's exactly what I said, both Allison and Kris are a perfect duo...

[GooferDusty]

I don't get why Allison's CD didn't do better. Both Kris' and Adam's fans seem to adore her. Her Awesomeness is the one thing everyone can agree one.

This duet is gorgeous.

[prMLA01]

@GooferDusty Because not all their fans adore her, obviously. Otherwise, she would've sold more than both of them individually. Either that or they like her but don't support her.

[calarkie]

They should have performed this on the Idol finale! They would have blown everyone out of the water! Kris & Ali are are two of the best, raw talented, artists and they deserve so much more recognition for their talents. I'm so excited that Kris will be performing with Keith Urban and other well known artists and Ali will be performing with Adam so I hope that works out well for her.

[LBRoyo]

omg thats my music room! hahaa allisons playing with JMHS bongos X]

[segakid101]

who dared to dislike this video! it is perfection!

[EvoEnasher]

this gave me chills, such a good cover.

[mikayladawnlt]

this is adorable :) <33

[ZivXanthus]

Everyone's saying Kris needs more recognition, well Allison does too. Both of these singers are pretty underrated and under promoted. I just wish their music were played more, especially Allison's 'cus I have yet to hear anything from her cd on the radio and A LOT of her songs are fantastic.

[prMLA01]

@ZivXanthus Totally agree. If one of these is aching for more recognition is Allison. Her album is very, very good, yet radio stations refused to play her music, for who knows what reason. She's under promoted and so under appreciated, it's ridiculous.

[calarkie]

Kris and Ali are both great! Kris has never got the recognition that he deserves. It's a shame really. Is it because he's so normal and the every day guy? Well i say bull shit to that! Kris is a fantastic artist, vocalist, etc... I'm so thrilled that Kris is the guy I want to listen to... it's just a shame he isn't acknowledged as such! Go Kris, we love you!!!

[grant122210]

wow it started to get amazing near the end but i still loved it ...only if it was on i tunes :/

[mungiuri]

why did they not do it again at six flags?????

[eternalblue81]

@mungiuri I think they were planning to do it again, but Kris had a radio gig he had to leave for immediately after his set. As it was he got stuck in traffic and was only went on the air in the last 10 minutes of the radio show. Hopefully Kris and Allison will have the opportunity in the future to do another duet!

[LoveyouAdamLambert]

krallison forever!!!I love this version of the two so much! I don´t like the verison from coldplay,but the version from Krallison is sooo beautiful

[musicluver987654321]

3:28 chills

[hacker09US]

I hate Coldplay with a passion but that cover was great. Kris Allen deserves more recognition as a solo artist but they sounded insanely good together.

[ILJDPOTCRMS]

krallison forever!!!!! This sounds incredible! even better then the original!

[ginger1783]

They sound so amazing TOGETHER, as Allison and Kris, Kris and Allison, because Kris did a duet with the same song, but it did not come out as good as this one. This duet is BRILLIANT!!!!

[RefuseToRegret]

Yay,!!!!!! I've been waiting for Kris to perform a full version of this song ever since he performed part of it at the Tampa Ball a couple months ago. It's sooooooo gorgeous, I love Kris' arrangement, I hope he makes it a part of his official set list.

[TruthfulLie2350]

They sound amazing together!!! I personally think that they should have done the duets like this on American Idol. Kris and Allison should have done this song together and Adam and Danny should've sung a song together!!!

[chimpapino19]

Ridiculously good.

[anchorsncupcakes]

these 2 sound AMAZING 2gether. they shud deff duet sometime sooon!

[rotcehccf]

Awesome! They are both so talented..

I love Kris' music & Allison it's just a fantastic singer!

[elenaisnotamexican]

can everyone go buy their albums like, right now? I love them to pieces. allison iraheta, you go girl!

[susanleighc]

@elenaisnotamexican yes!they don't get the recognition they deserve or the promotion

[elenaisnotamexican]

@susanleighc I know! that pisses me off to no end. they're both so talented and way better than the weirdness that is the pop music scene right now (seriously, allison over kesha any day of the week), but their record labels are doing crap promoting them. I expect more from you, record labels!

[putapepperinit]

They sound great together, but failure is pretty much impossible when you've got this much talent in one space.

I read that Kris was thinking about doing Desperado and Allison suggested The Scientist. I wish I could have heard both!

[susanleighc]

@putapepperinit that's true. Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly interviewed Kris and he said "The Scientist" was Allison's idea

[mattsasinger]

Gave me chills. This is pure talent. Amazing.

[ste11astar]

I love this duet. Beautifully done! I'm ripping this to listen to over and over.

[BeSafe94]

Love this song they are amazing and on top of loving the song they made the best version

[Anoops1fantasticgrl]

WHOA this is amazing..their voices sound so perfect..so powerful

[MyStrawberrycrush]

Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta? AWESOME! This song is one of my favorite songs! And Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta are one my favorite artists:D

[WriteEverything]

Hey guys, thanks for all the thumbs up. And special thanks to Lizzie for posting the video! Media types are ever so slowly starting to see what most of us saw all along. Its kinda nice to feel smug and superior for a change, isnt it?

[WriteEverything]

@WriteEverything Wait, where did my apostrophes go? (Ah, drats! I bet I know who stole 'em. Smugness never lasts long for a die-hard defensive Kris fan.)

[halea9]

such a gorgeous rendition. this could be hit single! come on, jive, you have a golden girl here with allison. stop dickering around and ger her out there more!

[Katy7540]

Wow, this is just a rehearsal in the high school band room? They are really good together. I watched the No Phone Zone Oprah show, but they never featured Kris and Allison singing, this song, only saw them taking the pledge.

[lightmyfire139]

This is an amazing cover. I love their voices together!

[iloveeltoncho]

OMG they're performing in our high school's orchestra room

[YanaMontana]

Allison is young.I believe,that she WILL be very successful singer,huge star! Love her very much <3

[Teamiraheta]

Wow incredible!

very beautiful you two sound great together!

Very nice.

[awsomebannanapie]

I love kris allen. His voice is so amazing and i can listen to him all day.sorry Allison,i just can't connect to your music but i like you.
