Kris Allen writes about what was going through his mind when he made the risky song choices that ultimately sealed his Idol fate.


Adam Lambert mention:

When I look back at Season 8 compared to all of the 14 seasons that Idol has had, I really do think we had the most talent. I’m not just saying that because these people are my friends; I really believe this. Adam Lambert was the best performer the show has ever seen, coupled with one of the most amazing voices. Danny Gokey had a range that never stopped, even when you thought it would. Allison Iraheta had one of the best tones I’ve ever heard – so mature at only 16. (You might be wondering right now if I’m going to talk about the whole top 10. Yep!) I’ve never heard anyone do with their voice what Matt Giraud can do – and then you hear him play the piano? Dumb. Lil Rounds, with that powerhouse voice. I don’t think there was anyone on our show as well versed in music as Scott MacIntyre. Anoop Desai had the most underrated velvety voice. Megan Joy had such a great sound and has made some of the coolest music after the show of any Idol I’ve heard so far. Michael Sarver, with his perfect country soul voice. Even Alexis Grace, who missed the top 10 – but how amazing was she?

Kris is a sweet, talented guy. He is doing what he loves to do and AI helped him along the way, as it did for all the contestants. I wonder if Adam will submit a write-up about his AI experience?

I think it's very interesting, actually 'hahah' interesting.
For Country Music week Kris picked a song that wasn't country. But because Garth Brook covered it, Am Idol let it go as country.

Then along comes Adam and Am Idol is probably happy to have Adam singing Ring of Fire and it turns out Adam doesn't want to do like Johnny Cash and instead sings it the way it was originally written.

Am Idol must have really scratched their heads over those two for quite a while.

Best season, S8, yes, due to Adam largely; Best singers, Adam, Angie Miller and Amber Holmes S12, beautiful ethereal voices. Angie and Adam, Titanium duet, one of the best of Adam's duets.
