Kris Allen's self entitled album is on my iPod on replay, and I still cannot get enough! The CD was released in November with the first single "Live Like We're Dying" playing scarcely on one LA radio station. As soon as I heard it I immediately purchased it (that's the amazing thing about having an iPhone =), a few weeks later buying the entire CD.
Last season on American Idol I didn't have a favorite until the contestants started dwindling down, right about when Kris Allen started performing amazingly I started gaining appreciation for his talents. Of course it didn't hurt that he's a total cutie either. I was so happy when he was announced as THE American Idol.
Now that his CD is out, I completely realize the musician that he is. I will admit that most of the songs have a similar sound; however, I like that sound so it works for me. It's good to have a cohesive album that flows.
You can listen to some of Kris Allen songs on iLike.
The songs just make me smile...even the slow sappy ones that I usually despise. His voice is so soothing. My favorite track is "Alright With Me." It's actually the song in his Ford commercial. For those of you who are watching this season of AI, you've seen it I am sure.
On one hand, I want Kris to be successful and have a long career. But, on the other, I hate when artists/songs get too popular. That equates to too much radio play and high concert ticket fees. I kind of hope that this song doesn't blow up. I know that is very selfish of me.
Here is a video of the song, check it out:
How do you feel about artists and fame? Do you like or dislike it?
Be sure to catch Kris Allen singing the National Anthem before the Saints vs. Vikings game this Sunday. This playoff showdown starts at 6:40 pm ET on FOX. (GO SAINTS!)

Typically, most of the artists I like never achieve mainstream fame; and the many who do seem to sound different once they hit the "big time." It doesn't necessarily affect me personally, so I don't pay much attention to it. :/
I will have to check out Kris Allen. I'm not an American Idol viewer, so I hadn't heard of him until now!! :)
I love Kris Allen... I just bought his CD yesterday. His voice is just so soothing.
