I know that "No Boundaries" has a good message, but they said it's hard to sing live, and they also have to go with the audience reaction.

Most importantly, kris doesn't seem to like singing it, so he shouldn't have to. Say what u want about Kris, but he does a great job with song selection. He should sing something he likes.

So happy Kris has a new song instead of No Boundaries. The song doesn't fit his set and this is not his genre of music so why not let him sing a song that his more his style. 100% a good decision

OMG!!!1! a new singing contest is here on YOuTube and its called KARAOKE SHOWDOWN!! cant wait!! ^^

NB, placed between 2 heavy ballads, must have been deadly...or extra deadly. "All these things" not only lifts Kris' set, but it points the trajectory of his career up, instead of down.

I agree with ver506. American Idol winners should sing the songs they prefer rather than being forced fed.

They are artists!!!!!

I love Kris's "All These Things."

His deep base of "i got soul, but i'm not a soldier" is AMAZING. I got goose-bumps.

Beautiful!

I like Kris's "No Boundaries." To me, I just heard too many times in the past 2 months.

It is a treat that Kris gave us a new song "All These Things." Thanks AI tour producers.

Great interview btw dude :)

Oh yeah. One thing. The closing number. Does it have to be THAT cheesy??? I mean, all the Idols have their sets, most of them have wicked songs, it's all good...you reach the end of the show...you have an awesome Journey song....and it's completely covered in cheeeeese! D': Whyyyyy. What's with the lights, the outfits, the horrible cheesy "Goodbye" inclusion?!! LOL. It's so, so bad :'( Is it tradition to always do that? The rehearsal of DSB on youtube was so epic! Why change it?

[lovereignnn]

WLL, Slowride, MW, Heartless, Bright Lights, Barracuda...immense stuff.

Can't believe the AI guys let Adam do his thing. That is sooo f-n cool. You can see he's holding back so much still. Like: he's totally refraining himself from including the original wails (you know the ones) in WLL haha. His own tour could be so epiiiiic if he has good songs. I know he sort of wants to go down the GaGa route : | but he excels w rock. Hope he keeps reinventing himself bc the electro stuff can get old quick.
