I'm not really expecting anything for Kris' second album. I just hope he is able to do exactly what he wants to do!
That would be nice. You both said more or less the same thing. Things get tricky with second albums and Idols. Now we get to see the real person and it may not be the person we thought it was. If we thought the person was like his/her Idol album. Which in Kris's case is tricky. Because his Idol album seems pretty good to most people.
What I want to know is: all this time he's been working on songs for the album - he and Cale - is that it? Is it going to be Kris/Cale? Or wil there be more collaborators? I think I mentioned this before. What I know of Kris/Cale, right now, is Is It Over. And as for Kris alone, Red Guitar. Of course, there are the BNS songs, but I don't think he's going to write in that style.
Anyhow - it has to be commercial.
This is a thing that goes through my mind a lot, and I probably can't go into it, but maybe you guys can figure out what I mean even if I dont go into it. Basically, it's this. As time goes on , either Kris can remain a mainstream artist, a pop artist, having to put out commercial hits, perhaps get more into entertainment, doing stage shows like Coldplay or something like that. Or he can become less pop oriented. More "raw" as he put it, maybe. Not worrying about pleasing the masses.. Or he could be one of the more serious, respected pop artists, and maybe have it both ways.
Adam has a 5 octave operatic voice metal rock , he can sing anything , Kris has a 1 octave vice (if) , Adam is the best performer of our days and Kris is a middle of the road singer , please don't upset me more , is enough , you fool yourself.
This is (below) from a poster called randynewman, who wrote this on rickey.org back on May 12, 2009 (about a week before the S8 finale).
It reminds me of stuff I read, at the time, on that voice teacher's blog -- I forget her name. You know the one. Posters on that blog made the same point.
Ok, I’m so tired of the comment that Kris does not have enough “range,” or that the other two singers have a bigger range…they don’t…wikipedia defines vocal range “the total span of “musically useful” pitches that a singer can produce.” Danny and Adam begin to lose all of their tone at average mid range notes…Kris’s range in that area is so much stronger…Adam sings incredibly high, given Kris can’t sing that high, but can sing verses and low notes far better. watching the show back i have found the lowest and highest notes for each of these contestants…kris and adam have both shown a two octave range…Kris (low B to high A sharp) Adam ( G below middle C to about high F over high C). that’s two octaves for both. NOW, i am not bashing adam or danny, i think they are great, (with Adam being better), BUT my main point in this is that kris has just as much RANGE as them, so maybe people will stop thinking just because you can sing HIGH does NOT make you a better singer, as 90% of most songs are gonna be sang in the lower and middle register…thanks! KRADAM for the finale!!!
