Heartless was beautiful.

Kris was so emotionally raw I don't even want to re-watch his performance right away. Selfishly, I hope Kris also gets to go back on the Idol stage and give us his entertaining/fun side, which is probably my favorite side. Kris is amazing as a singer and performer in a few ways. I mean, he has a lot of sides. He's as in-the-moment emotionally when he's being upbeat, onstage, as when he's being emotive/deep. I love this about him. He's really almost like an actor who sings. He's so emotionally connnected.

YES!! He's so into the music it flows through him and you get all his emotions back. He's amazing.

You know what else I liked? Cale. Isn't it amazing that Cale gets to play piano on the Idol stage when he auditioned for Idol last year (last year!!) and didn't make it? Such a cool thing.

OMG to the Album at #16 - that's awesome!


Kris is on the radio too http://www.1043myfm.com/mediaplayer/?station=KBIG-FM&action=listenlive&channel_title=

Hey, that's a good point! A rising tide lifts all boats, I guess.

I got that list of "100 most beautiful men" from searching Kris on Twitter. Some Adam fan tweeted, "Adam is way cuter than Kris! He should be #1! He's not even on the list!!" Or words like that. There was a link, and when I clicked on it that's what popped up. :)

I usually search Kris and there are about 99% positive tweets. Tonight a lot are negative, I guess because so many haters have to come out of the woodwork when he performs, to get in their two cents. I don't pay a lot of attention to opinions on Twitter. Most people on Twitter seem to be 15. lol

KATA is now #14 on iTunes, #4 on i Tunes pop. You know, this was about Haiti, not a promotional appearance of Kris, but still, it's nice to see him get a bump due to exposure and giving an extraordinary performance.

Kris also benefitted, if you ask me, by being so talented compared to some of the Top 24!

How do you know missaddicted is flailing? She hasn't said anything. :)

Ugh! VH1 voting. I've hardly done any this week. Actually I was voting today in work and a 16 year old guy I like a lot came over to me at my computer and scolded me.
"Are you spamming the VH1 vote? Oh, [my name here], I'm disappointed in you." Me: "Hey, the Glamberts vote 500 times at a pop, you know."
"But they're insane."
"Listen, I'm just doing what everyone else is doing."
"If everyone jumped off a bridge, you would, too, I suppose."
"What are you, my mother? Kris needs votes!"

Twitter

^David Cook's new Twitter picture. I think Kris needs a new one, actually. I was thinking that yesterday.

LMAO.. Yep, I'm a failure as a vote spammer too. I just posted because I remembered for once and need the link handy.

I voted a huge amount last week, and Kris fell four spots. That kind of put me off voting. That, and I just got tired of it. There's only so much mindless repetitive stuff you can do.

Still, I voted a lot today. Not the Glambert definition of a lot, but for me, a lot. If Adam keeps winning that countdown it won't look good, though. People will catch on it's his fans over-voting, and that tends to work against the performer, somehow.

Kris Allen Sings 'Let It Be' On 'American Idol' For Haiti - News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News

So apparently Kris considered singing something from his album. Cale suggested Let It Be.

I guess Cale is sort of his partner now. Apparently his next album will be all Kris-Cale songs, or I think I read that that's his wish, anyway. I have no idea how that will be. I don't know anything about Cale's talents. I'm surprised Kris doesn't want to explore collaborations with other people. I mean, his collaboration with Joe King produced Alright With Me, and that's pretty great.

LOL! SleepinIn wrote failing! Not flailing!

BWAH!

I'm tired of voting as well. I voted a bit this week, but yeah, I have so many other things to do that aren't that mindless repetitive stuff. And I can do several things on the internet in my office, but voting repeatingly for VH1 isn't one of those things, lol.

^David Cook's new Twitter picture.

I love that picture. Fans got a good chuckle out of the arrow on the ground, lol.

Hey, it's written in that MTV article that the song was immediately available on iTunes after the show. I hope that's wrong, cause I can't find it.

LOL! That makes more sense!! But are you flailing, anyhow?
Guys with, like, zero fat, and with those washboard abs, look highly weird and unreal, to me. It's so unreal that anyone spends that long in a gym. One of those guys, Chris Evans, is from, not this town, but a couple of towns away. I think he was in Fantastic Four.

So (I asked this already) is it worth watching the results show?

I voted for Lee (by request) and I voted for Alex because he was the only one I liked who I figured was in any danger of leaving.

Aww, I'm reading David's Q & A on twitter and he said that his favorite Kris song "right now" was I Need To Know.

It's not wrong unless there's a glitch. It was supposed to be immediately available after the performance.

KATA is #13 on iTunes. I wonder how high it'll go. Too bad he can;t be on Idol every week!!

You didn't miss much in the results show, honestly.

Thanks again for voting for Lee! (Go Lee!)

I can't say that I'm flailing, no! I just looked at the hot guys link. Who are most of these guys? Can't say that I find most of them and their washboard abs that attractive.

Err, okay. I couldn't find in Canada or in the US. SleepinIn?

A glitch wouldn't be surprising. Last year, when David performed Permanent for Brain Cancer Research on the finale, the song was supposed to be on iTunes really fast, but it took forever. People were buying the album version instead of the live version.

What's so hard about making a song available? They make songs available every day. Grrr.

I can't stop crying tonight apparently. First Kris and the images of Haiti. Now, Joannie Rochette and all of her incredible courage.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

You know I was thinking that today, watching MOD. Adam is still on that thing. Other artists bounce in and out, it's pretty apparent it's being spammed repeatedly.

Oh, man. I know. Joannie just breaks my heart, that girl is running on pure heart right now.

Let it Be was so beautiful. (Kris does need to change his picture, even Cale changes his picture) I love that David's favourite right now is I Need to Know. (such a great song)

I was also almost in tears watching the medal ceremony for the Hockey. It was actually when the US was getting their silver medals and they were in tears and so upset.. *sob* and then the arena started chanting USA, USA, USA.

Apparently Alex Lambert was bleeped tonight. Said "no ****ing way" when Tyler was eliminated and he went through. Or so the scuttlebutt would have it.

Guys, why are there two versions of LLWD on iTunes? I've read the explanantion before but I forgot. On the pop chart, one is at #12, and one is at #85.

I love that David's favourite right now is I Need to Know. (such a great song)

Yeah, that was awesome.
