一些有關吾愛Kris的報導 - 美國偶像

沒想到我也來到這一步orz

前兩屆冠軍都給予了Kris很好的評價。

第六季冠軍Jordin在自己的twitter大誇Kris!

"Cook, who again appeared on "American Idol" in a taped performance
earlier this year, said he has been watching the show and thinks all
of the remaining contestants "still got something in the tank." He
singled out singers Kris Allen and Adam Lambert as two that stand
out to him."

(我真的可以期待當克決賽？口以嗎？摳已嗎？)


根據本週的表演，MTV的報導：

"Kris Allen made the most contemporary choice of the night,
singing Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's"Falling Slowly"
from the 2007 sleeper indie romance "Once," a choice Tarantino
praised because he said it was obvious the song meant something
to Allen. With spare acoustic-guitar accompaniment, Allen stood
center stage and sang with his eyes mostly closed, rising and
falling with the song's tricky see-saw melody and putting a bit
of a soul vibe into the folky ballad, ending with a dramatic
high note as the lights faded." - MTV

(越來越覺得這首歌可能是兩夫妻定婚曲之類的><)

Entertainment Weekly:

At least Kara had the sense and the courage to disagree, even
if her observation that "Falling Slowly" was one of Kris "best
moments ever" was a little too muted for my taste. I mean, what
does the puppy-eyed crooner have to do to get a "best of the night"
or a "you have a chance to win it all" critique from someone
(anyone!) at the judges' table? (Maybe if he stands in line at
the Post Office tomorrow and gets Paula, Simon, Kara, and Randy's
taxes postmarked?) Kris certainly deserved more praise that his
six rivals tonight, for starters because he chose a delicate flower
off the Once soundtrack rather than the industrial-floral bathroom
air-freshener most of his competitors seemed to fancy. Admittedly,
the opening line or two of the ballad seemed a little low for Kris'
range, but he quickly recovered, and proceeded to deliver a nuanced
performance in which emotional depth won out over hollow vocal acrobatics.

About.com:

Kris Allen and the Art of American Idol Song Choice.
Fortunately, Kris Allen stepped up and made the most inspired song
choice of the night. He chose "Falling Slowly," the 2008 Academy Award
winner for Best Song from a Motion Picture. It is a gentle but powerful
love song, and Allen's interpretation was on target. It is a beautiful
song well deserving of greater exposure. This was the type of performance
that sends viewers to iTunes to check out the original recording. "Falling
Slowly" is the product of a real-life romantic and artistic partnership
between Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. It is not the first time Kris
Allen has shown his skill at picking the right song. 2 weeks ago his
choice of the Bill Withers classic "Ain't No Sunshine" was another
stroke of genius. Once again, it's not just about singing, choice of
song can make all the difference.

除了Adam大家褒外，Kris的選歌也獲得很多好評呀。
(反觀嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯.....←很多人可以自己入座)

Once is good, twice is better, make it thrice!
