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 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'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.

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.

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!!!!!!!

I have to admit i wasn't to sure of kris at the beginning but now I hope he wins. In my opinion kris's performance of heartless was the best performance on idol ever it was artistic and beautiful and WAYYYY better than the original and totally knocked me off my feet!!! way to go kris I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!! I cant wait to hear you on the radio!!

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.

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 absolutely LOVED this performance! I think it's my favorite of the whole season! I'm so happy for Kris, always being in the shadow of Adam and Danny. I just wish the judges would praise him more.

Kris was amazing--the Judges were Heartless in their treatment of him following the announcement of the final 2-they were just rude.--also, the singer who had Adam's name on her cape should be added not only to the Heartless list but also the tasteless list. Kris showed class as well as good taste in his graceous stage presence.

Kris is and has been the stand out for me the whole season.
In my mind - truly the only original talent.
I agree the Perry girl showed no class with the cape and I thought vocally she was awful!

You failed to mention that Kris' covered The Fray's version of Heartless. It was nice but the artist credit is going to the wrong person.
I like Kris but I am disappointed that once again he is not crediting the source of his arrangement. Adam has gone out of his way to credit inspirations for his performance. For example, he specifically called he "Feeling Good" the Muse Version.
As far as I can tell Kris has one brilliant original arrangement, "Ain't No Sunshine", but I am less sure now that it is original. I have been told that the version he played has been around the mid-South for years.

I don't get it. I'm not wowed by Heartless or any song Kris has performed to date. He leaves me cold. Adam is a brilliant performer, but his falsetto irritates. Danny was my favorite. I found his voice to be authentic, heartfelt, and gravelly. The judges pushed Adam, reviewing every performance as stellar. Let's be real. For that reason, I was glad Kris won. But Danny is my American Idol.
