WHAT?! Kris's rendition of Heartless was NOT original AT ALL. Do a simple search on Youtube and you'll find many, and better, acoustic versions of that song.

I've admired Kris's musicality, his intonation, his creativity, his simple understanding of the heart of each tune he's taken on. I've appreciated him most over the long haul and, on the other hand, slowly lost my interest in ever-the-screamer Adam. I think Adam's got the talent but he's keeping it hidden under screams. Kris sings. I like singers. As for Heartless, I can't say I particularly cared for the tune but I was, nonetheless, blown away by Kris's interpretation.

This is what you call an "unforgettable performance".
By putting away the band, Kris just proves that he's adorable as he is. He could effortlessly blow peoples mind.. Love it!
VOTE FOR KRIS!!!!!!!

By far the best performance of the season. I would buy this guy's CD as soon as it is released. He has to be in the Final or the show becomes a joke.

I've been saying this for a long time. Kris Allen is the real deal. Taste, class, style, talent, looks. His Heartless was brilliant! He will be around for a long, long time. He is genuine and in a class by himself.

I love Kris, but all I could think about when I watched that was, that Mia Carruthers JUST did that on "Taking The Stage" the other week, and he must been a fan of that show!

I voted for Daughtry, then quit watching after he was eliminated. If Kris Allen goes, I will quit watching again. Kris is mainstream, like Daughtry was - and Daughtry blew everyone away in sales after. I would never buy a Taylor Hicks CD and I will never buy an Adam Lambert CD (too weird)...I will be anxiously waiting for Kris' CD to come out just like I did Daughtrys....go Kris!

I really love Kris!!
He possesses a wonderful and unique voice!
His performances have never let me down. I really like him standing on the stage with his guitar, singing like he's never sung before. That was just exactly what he did in Heartless! Awesome!
Hope he'll be in the final 2!
Keep voting for Kris Allen everyone!

Kris did wonderfully tonight with a very brave song choice, 'Heartless'. I hope he is safe tomorrow!
I actually really love Kris' 'Apologize' too because it is stripped down (not much instrumentation) and his beatiful voice is easy to hear. Unfortunately it was a bit out of Kris' range, but he couldn't do anything about that because it was the judges' choice. The judges also gave Danny a horrible choice, 'Dance Little Sister', a boring repetitive song with not much melody.
I liked Simon's choice of song for Adam, 'One' (by U2), because it has beautiful sad lyrics & a beautiful tune. I wanted Adam to do a soft, heartfelt version like he did with Mad World & Tracks of my Tears. But he didn't. He started off okay but then made it tooooo loud (IMO). I was really hoping for a stripped down version, I thought Adam could have done an amazing job with a stripped down soft version of 'One'. Of course, Adam is still brilliant, and I look forward to a Kris & Adam final.

It made you just stop and listen - it pulled you in and had you hanging on every word. When he jazzed up the beat and added more soul, really went over the moon. LOVE KRIS, I truely hope he will go all the way. Seems like most people voted all night as did I - just hope it is Adam and Kris and that creepy Gokey dude goes home. Rock on Kris, you are the next Americal Idol.

Let's see Kris played the piano, and then Kris played the guitar. Kris took a song and COMPLETELY changed it and made it his own. Plus I love the sound of his voice. Like a cool soft breeze instead of bellowing hot hair and a screaming hurricane.

Kris definitely stepped his game up with this performance.
He blew me away...
Adam's performance of 'cry' paled in comparison.
Since Allison was voted off, I'm rooting for Kris all the way... I was always torn between him and Allison.
Randy was right... this was better than the original! True genius!!
