Kris Allen Album Review

[Trickyeddy9]

i really like is it over

[kaidol3]

Kris Allen's CD songs are rated A+ to me.

The cover is B+ to me.

[kaidol3]

I like "Red Guitar." I think it is a great song.

[Cinntillicious]

LOL! It was fun watching your review. I think Kris Allen's album is amazing and I love "Alright With Me" but I laughed my freaking head off at your review of that song, that is hilarious! A+ I would love to know if you still feel that way about "Alright With Me" or if your opinion has changed at all.

[mileyworldsdkfvgl]

I loved Kris's CD i boughtit the first day it came out and my favorite song on the CD id Bring It Back!!

[kaidol3]

Live Like We're Dying reached PLATINUM.

Excellent job Kris.

I like your reviews hotelangel.

Thank you very much.

[forquan]

Kris's cd is great!

Of course, I bought it.

[avantiusa]

It is always fun to watch your reviews. LLWD is reaching platinum (may be already is) and I love that song.

However, I love the heart melting "Red Guitar" (I'm a woman) and I could never get enough Kris's "heartless."

I downloaded Kriss cd from the iTunes and enjoyed his songs time after time. Love this IDOL very much.

[thegodmachine]

Nobody seems to like "Alright with me" but me! Ah well, great review.

[NewYorkerForGood]

i think the song your being reminded of from Bring It Back is All We Are by OneRepublic.

at least that's the song that i was reminded of.

[alleykat444]

stop bagging on lambert, you're talking about kris here. D:<

[RullyisJRM]

Album cover: I like it. Of the 3 Idol people, I think his is the best. It's not making a statement or anything, but it looks good -- it doesn't embarrass him, that's for sure. Also, overall, I like his album. It's pretty good, though nothing memorable. Alright With Me is SO annoying, though, lol. I think the first few songs are the best on his album. Btw, you crack me up, lol.

[tonks1988]

Live Like we're dying was a B side of The Script's album for Japan and they are not obscure to a lot of people. Written All Over My Face was written by The Script also. Amazing how you have trash most of Kris' songs and you think it's great. Dude face it you like him coz he's cute. And you clearly don't like Adam. I like Kris album, he's better live and acoustic and his style is like some troubadours I love from my country. He's still not my favorite type of music. \m/

[hotelangel]

@tonks1988 the B side of an Irish bands CD in Japan...I'd say that's pretty obscure to most people.

And I didn't trash most of Kris' songs, or Adams...I like them both...

But you're right, Kris is cuter haha

[tonks1988]

lol, you know what I like about your reviews? That although I don't agree with you I laugh a lot.

I love The Script that's why. XD

[hotelangel]

haha thanks :)

I just listened to The Scripts Live Like we're dying, and they sound almost exactly alike...maybe I should check them out lol

[tonks1988]

I know. I had the song before Kris covered it.

[qaf714]

did u know kris looks like micheal from Queer as Folk.

[iggy8908]

Oh if u buy the cd at walmart u get an extra song called " send me all your angels" one Kris wrote with some other famous guy.... Lol sorry I don't remember but the song is great.

[hotelangel]

@iggy8908 yea, written with Chris Daughtry from Idol season 5.

[iggy8908]

Good review.... But I don't agree with everything, the fact that understanding the use of inimate objects can always be a more descriptive way to express emotions. Let it rain also rocked, but overall it was a fair review.

[Fishqueen1972]

I think the people that like Kris Allen's accoustic side will love Is It Over and All Right With Me. Both songs have an alternative sound to them.

[Fishqueen1972]

Check out Kris Allen performing live at MSG Z100 jingle ball. OH MY GOD> He is so HOT. I think he has been working out. Check it out. Kris Allen is great live!!!!!!!

[NotTooObvious]

great review, joe, i twittered it. thanks.  i will listen to the A songs you pointed out and the B- ones. maybe i'll add them to my adam CD.

[PatrioticEagle50]

Funny how people have different tastes. Lifetime and The Truth are my least favorite although still decent. Written All Over My Face, Is it over, Let It Rain, Bring It Back, and Alright With Me are my favorites. However, I think they are all good.

[CrazyJamesification]

at first when I hear Heartless I was like, oh no! who the hell f**ked up the Idol version, it was the whole reason he won! but after hearing the album one over and over the Idol version is nothing. If I were you I would listen to it a bit more .

[badbamabunny]

I didn't agree with all your opinions, but the opinions in themselves were entertaining! Liked your recaps last season...look forward to Season 9!

[NotTooObvious]

i agree

[gizmette07]

yes carrie underwood is defly getting more and more 'honky tonk' as you say!

;-)

[1kydde2]

POST ABOUT ALLISON SHE IS HOT!

[b1dev]

Hey there! How's it going Hotelangel?? Hey you should check out our newest dare video :) Paul does some crazy dance moves and would LOVE it if you could compare them with Adam Lambert's AMA dance moves for us hahaha.. Hope all is well! Love Kris's CD!

[MzTJones80]

Hey! Next month American Idol starts again! You'll be back in business! Can't wait for your commentary on that. You need your own show! To hell with Harvey Levin on TMZ. You're the best! lol

[NotTooObvious]

back when you were pretty? you are still adorable.

wow, male pattern balness already. oh well, you're so cute, when the hair goes, won't matter.

kris's songs always sound like one you've heard before, what's new.

you just have a problem admitting that adam is a rockstar and kris is in the same league as taylor hicks and ruben studdard. you'll come around one day.

[moodlesslysighing]

please don't be rude.

[NotTooObvious]

i am not rude, moron, and don't tell me what to do. get a life

[moodlesslysighing]

hmm? you're not? well you called me a moron...that's rude. me get a life? you the one that wrote 2 long comments about how adam is a rockstar and your cousin who died...hmmm i don't have a life? You just keep saying that adam is good and that you're cousin died because YOU ARE AN ATTENTION SEEKER! "it's a special song because it makes me think of my cousin who died a couple of years ago" wow...good stuff...was your cousin a real person or are you making him up?

[NotTooObvious]

you asked for it. if i am an ttn seeker, why did you REPLY to ME? hahahaha!!!! quit ruining my buddy's video. get over yourself.

[NotTooObvious]

and quit your trolling

[moodlesslysighing]

uh huh...right. ok...you are not rude, and an attention seeker, ok? Happy? you're just a great guy that knows how to handle situations with profanity and being mean to others. and don't forget if you are not an attention seeker, then why did you REPLY to ME again? You should have just let it slide. But yes, I am in the wrong for this one.

[NotTooObvious]

if you will pardon me, i don't have any interest in listening to kris allen.

and i like that tim mcgaw song, it's a special song because it makes me think of my cousin who died a couple years ago.

[PatrioticEagle50]

That's ok. Your loss.

[sergeantkitty]

I listened to alright with me and it didn't sound strange to me at all. I'd like to hear what you'd say if you listened to my music!

[Ruben1Show]

Allison Album Rocks Listen to it its so different and good. But I have to say that it doesn't sound very orignal but the emotion is there and that orignal.

[amcar08]

Thanks for the review; looking forward to the others. What CDs are on your "A" list?

[WildxLemon]

Got bored rith Kris' album pretty fast. Didn't listen to the songs more then twice (if even that).

Adam's album on the other hand is on constant replay. Really like a male Lady GaGa (luv her too).

[hooeybert]

dude liftetime's unequivocally the worst song on the album.

before we come undone, bring it back, and alright with me (my favorite) are standouts.

[JUSTANTONIO]

Kris Allen's cd was just plain..nothing special..

Adam Lamberts cd is disappointing..just ok..

Allison Iraheta's album is the best idol debut cd in history..both Kris Allens and Adam Lambert's combined to come close to being as good as Allison's

[JUSTANTONIO]

*don't come close

[gcrocks4eva]

Lol??? You're kdding right?? Please say that in everybody's face if Allison's album could overwhelm Kris's album by selling more than 80000 copies in the first week..On the other hand, please don't make any contrast to adam's album, Its kinda like a distinction between the ground and the sky..in other words, INCOMPARABLE..Albeit that, i still like allison..

[JUSTANTONIO]

im not kidding:

Adam's album is disappointing...the guy has a world class voice that was wasted on shitty songs. Adam as the superstar and Kris as the winner of american idol should have gotten better songs...instead they both get songs that didn't make other artists albums. Adam should have got the songs on Allisons record...instead she got them and she has the better record. His voice would have been great on those tracks.

It's a pity that her sales will be low ..its a great album.

[gcrocks4eva]

Well, perhaps i should clarify that we have different preferences in music..I mean, i pretty fancy Adam's record because it is more contemporary, current and freshing which totally suits my genre...Genuinely, i thought Allison's first single was a little annoying..hehe...Just setting the record straight...

[JUSTANTONIO]

her first single is the worst on her album. The rest of the songs on her album is everything you described ..check out her album...it streaming free on her myspace or at the AOL listening party

[xkrzyicex]

@JUSTANTONIO her album is a peice of shit!

i listened to every single song and wanted to kill my self.. kris's album wil rank first 2nd will be adams and 3rd alisons.

[PatrioticEagle50]

Kris Allen co-wrote 9 of the 12 songs including one solo credit. His songs were never meant for other artists douche. Adam and Allison's genre are not my style so it really wouldn't be fair for me to critque them.
