Comments on: Kris Allen’s performance of Kanye West’s Heartless – Better than the original http://www.friedpost.com/entertainment/kris-allen%e2%80%99s-performance-of-kanye-west%e2%80%99s-heartless-better-than-the-original-722.html Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:39:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: A.

Each time I watch American Idol’s performance finale replayed, I can not help but ask: What is wrong with America? America's vote for Kris Allen, or America's vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against various sectors of society that Adam Lambert appears to stand for. People forgot that American Idol is a singing contest, not a political battle nor a popularity contest among class of persons. It’a singing talent contest that is open to all, regardless of orientation or religion. And of all its contestants, Adam Lambert consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. ADAM LAMBERT DESERVED TO WIN. Even Kris knows this within his Christian heart, so much so that when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved title, he evidently became perplexed and then asserted in open public that "Adam deserves this..." – instinctively repudiating the unbelievable subsuming vote results and in righteous adherence to glaring truth. You could actually count so many seconds before the puzzled Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place his arm around Kris’ shoulder in encouragement. Adam Lambert is the true winner. Should I also ask: What is wrong with this American Idol TV show? Hi! I’m a devout Christian and a working mother of two boys.

Heartless IS kanye's song. the fray did do their own version of Heartless, and so did alot of other artists. but just because Kris does too, doesn't mean he stole it. grow up. Kris Allen did a version of Heartless, and guess what? he took a risk and it was good. it didn't sound like the fray or kanye, MIA, etc. it was his own. if you haven't noticed, all the songs they're singing are somebody elses and have been covered numerous times. i think danny, kris, and adam are all great artists. just because you favor one doesn't mean you have to insult the other. oh and, if you choose to not watch the show just because YOUR favorite was sent home, I'm sure FOX's ratings won't go down, considering MILLIONS of people watch the show and vote on who stays or go's. quit being a baby! uhhhm…you all are being ridiculous.

I mean Kris is a good singer, but he's not better than Danny! As far as Adam, well he's UNBEATABLE.It should have been Adam & Danny as the top 2 with Adam as the winner.I have a feeling that Danny will end up with more success in the industry than Kris in the long run because his voice is so much more unique than Kris. UMMMMMMMMMMMM BTW,is anyone wondering what I am when it comes to Kris singing Heartless??? ...that maybe he saw MIA'S VERSION from MTV'S TAKING THE STAGE & got the idea from her?!? Her performance was much better than his too. She's an AMAZING ARTIST!Google it & you can see the video of her singing Heartless. I agree Arizona!

That was not Kanye West's song it was the Fray's version right down to the acustic guitar, minus the piano. If he is going to do a version he needs to at least acknowledge the artist he is stealing from! Danny was a much better singer than Kris Allen. Kris Allen has bored me all seaon long and I'm so surprised Danny is out and Kris is in. So I think the final will be wierd. If Adam Lambert wasn't in it I wouldn't watch it at all. Whatever!
