Oh, it was all kinds of EPIC!

HQ video of the press conference the other day
Kris Allen Press Conference in Manila (HD Video) 1 of 2 on Vimeo
:)

They need to keep playing Come Together. I agree awesome-ness.

I think the head exploding was really funny. (/Evil me) If we're going to vote for something, VH1 is a pretty good thing to vote for since it really does seem to affect sales when the video is played on TV.

I agree with your first statement! I also agree with your second statement! I somehow feel all the damn voting I have done for this kid just keeps repaying me, so I can't say I mind it!!!

And yes, I do think the video getting #1 attention helps sales, and it's worth voting for it. I know, I know, I already agreed, above.

Yay, Kris!!!

By the way, I posted something on that thread that I mentioned. I really said nothing. But I did manage to call LLWD a hit song, twice. And referred to Kris as the Idol winner twice. If I could have worked that stuff into my post three times, I would have. [/also evil]

A post from someone who was there:

watching Kris perform live was the most awesome thing that i experienced. he just put so much heart into each song/performance. my friend even called him “a total performer” hahaha. The Truth and Falling slowly/With or Without You are may fave. i cannot believe that it is all over…Kris what have you done to me??!!!

Um, I just watched AWM and laughed out loud, then ANS and thought it was awesome, then FS/WOWY and now I have tears in my eyes.

I just can't believe this guy. I don't know what he did to me, either. I don't mind saying. Total performer is right. He puts so much into everything (the way he was with those kids on AWM -- his energy was great). "Heart" is a good word for it.

More stuff:

After someone posted this pic, someone else replied:

There’s still a big standing area at the back, beyond the reserved sitting sections that’s seen in this picture. Also fully packed.

As usual, you can click in it to enlarge:

Awww. (This is actually from a site called "Hot Men With Babies.")

SUBMIT pictures of your celebrity crushes being adorable with babies, or pictures of your own hot man with a baby. Really, anything goes as long as hot men and babies being adorable are involved.

Oops, I guess I didn't look at your link before I posted a picture of the audience, huh?

LOL - I think we're both giddy. I know I am.

I also loved the lighting and the smoke they used - good staging.

I'm not ever giddy. lol

NOT EVER. Well, okay, I'm bordering on giddy, but don't tell anyone, okay?

I meant to mention the staging. It was very simple. Usually I'm a real purist when it comes to staging and I don't even want to see the big screens. Did the great bands and artists of the past need huge video screens with close ups, to reach their audiences? But I have to say -- even though, in principle, I'm against watching TV at a concert, a concert which is supposed to be real life, focused on the real human beings standing in front of you -- it's still kind of great. Can't deny it. It works, and it's awesome.

But anyway, what I think is cool is that Kris -- artist, performer -- didn't need a lot of the glitz of modern concerts, all the special effects and the crazy lighting, and whatnot -- like Miley Cyrus descending from the ceiling on a yellow motorcycle -- in order to involve and entertain a huge crowd of people, who apparently loved him. And that, my friends, is what it's all about.

Have you seen this one from the same person from his "posse" who posted the balut (which looks nasty BTW, but Kris is so cute with his glasses!) video:

YouTube - Kris Allen "Come Together" - Live in Manila

Anyway, just finished watching videos from all the songs, and the show was definitely EPIC!!

I hope that person with the vimeo accounts posts more videos from the show, because they are awesome! I almost liked The Truth, lol! And Is It Over killed me dead!
