Kris Allen "Bright Lights" Performance

[Danklin24]

My impression of this guy just got changed.

[golfdani1003]

it's really amazing - i love this song by matchbox twenty... but you are great too!

[reflectsonlife]

what a fantastic lower register! his low notes are so well-supported, resonant, and sexy! if matchbox 20 ever wants to reunite w/o rob thomas, then here's your new front man!

[christinachen1]

i so love this guy sexy vocal

[urtushadvs101]

i think Kris has awesome music tastes. from The Swell Season to Michael Jackson and now Rob Thomas. NICEEE

[smallbimbo]

Wow... just amazing. One of my favorite songs by Matchbox Twenty. And his cover was really good. (:

[Aaronrocha1]

Real nice job.. I didn't know who Kris Allen was until I typed in "Bright Lights Cover". Now I know, and I will def check out his other stuff.

[SpookyHelder]

He sounds uncannily like Rob Thomas! Are you happy Daphne?! :P

[MizzGoodBar16]

This was gorgeous. Kris, you're awesome :)

And very attractive, too :)

[calarkie]

Kris is brilliant! He doesn't need smoke, glitter, grand effects, etc.. to get his music across. That is what I love about him. Kris is the real deal and knows how to take a song and 'connect'.

[tristian1985]

All I can say is America picked the RIGHT one!!! Rob should be proud to hear is song and Kris is great!!!

[calarkie]

Rob has already commented that he thought Kris was amazing! OMG, i love Rob Thomas new CD 'Cradle Song', it's really good. Love you Kris!!!

[Roxiegirl280]

love him!! (: so glad he won over adam!

[brlax7]

its almost shocking how he sounds like rob thomas. I really hope that he puts out a record like that of a matchbox 20. I wanted adam to win but watching vids of the tour, I really think that kris can turn out a much better record than adam.

[djean44]

Great Fun!!!!! thanks for posting, you have a future in film.....just like being there.

Everyone put on a great show...Anoop, Danny, but I love Kris. thanks for sharing.

[AnalogHeart]

Kris just won me over with this song!!

[calarkie]

I live in Conway, AR where Kris is from and let me tell you... he's got some surprises up his sleeve and you will be amazed!  I was happy to be at his hometown parade back in May.

[RKane4u]

Great performance Kris! So happy you won Idol. You make Arkansas and the Nation so proud!

[Nickspeak]

nice nice job by Kris! So happy for him and hopefully he'll make a great CD.

[bigsbychick]

Love that Kris chose to cover a Matchbox Twenty song especially this particular song. Probably one of the best covers of a MB20 song I've heard to date.

[tammyinnwohio]

I'm an Adam fan but Kris is really impressing me much more on tour than when he was on the show. He's like Bryan Adams, Billy Joel, and Keith Urban all rolled up into one.

[calarkie]

I love me some Kris Allen and Keith Urban. They are my 2 favorites. Glad you're coming around. I think Adam is unbelievable talented but Kris had me when he first appeared on the show.

[MissLiverCool]

That REALLY rocked!

I love Kris playing the electric guitar, he's so gifted. Lovely.

[tellmeisitoveryet]

That was ok.

[raythespian]

No phony glam for Kris, please!!! He's perfect the way he is. I think the set, bringing out his low register, has made his gorgeous baritone even more so.

[jonoave]

Wow, good audio and visual quality. And Kris sounds great here - deeper and more growly... :P

[sug03]

AMAZING I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

[annatho82]

An Adam fan here but that was amazing! I'll be in line for the album if that's the kind of music he makes!

[jlafferty23]

wow he sounds amazing

this is the reason he won american idol

[nashmir]

Great quality (:

I really like Kris's choice of songs.

He's a real artist.

[mi1331ca]

Great sound and video! Thanks for posting.

[Abgang2005]

I totally agree! This was the best performance of the whole show! Even if Adam's WLL is a close second...

[Katy7540]

This performance demonstrates why Kris was voted American Idol. Much talent and musical skill. Now if he would only take a lesson from Adam and glam up and lose the plaid shirts & t-shirts. He should be in black leather.

[friendetica]

jajaja... black leather... those clothes are he's trade mark!!! That's his look, and he looks great...

[PastaBaby]

black leather if far from his trade mark. you have him mixed up with someone else.

[calarkie]

I agree with you Katy... I love Kris but don't know what's going on with his stylist. I thought he looked more stylish and sophisticated on the show then on tour. I couldn't help but notice when Kris and Adam performed the other day with David Cook most of the guys had on plaid shirts. I know they've made a comeback but I prefer the dressier sophisticated look, yet casual. I don't like fussy, especially on a guy! I want them to look approachable and real. Still lovin' Kris!

[Katy7540]

Plaid shirts were not his trademark on the show, he wore a variety of cool shirts, vests, even a leather one, but every tour appearance he wears the same tired plaid shirt. It looks like something he picked up off the floor and threw on for the show. Kris looks good in anything, but he needs an image consultant or a new stylist!!! I love this kid and I want to have the greatest success.

[calarkie]

I'm not sure he should go the black leather route but he did wear a black leather jacket with some cool shirts so I get that. Plaid has made a big comeback and alot of artists/celebrities are wearing it but I prefer the more sophisticated look. Still love you Kris...

[TheLinus01]

This is the best video of Kris I've seen. My opinion, with this song and performance, he is at the top over any other performer on this tour.

All I can say is "excellent". Thanks for posting.

[cooljob9]

loooove him!!! great voice and interpretation!!!

[BurkesGirl]

This is probably the best video I've seen of this song on the tour. Thanks so much. Great sound. Great video. Love this guy.

[Streetweare]

[robinsway]

OMG, this is great! I love Kris.

[runawaylegalsec]

Wow, I think this is the best performance yet of this song!!

[sweetwelling]
