Your American Idol: Kris Allen
Kris Allen gets a big build-up on the tv screens. The stage hands need the time, because they’re setting up a smaller, more intimate environment for him on the stage. A kabuki-drop curtain goes down behind him, and one of the lighting rigs descends from the rafters, while Kris comes up on the elevator with his acoustic guitar. It takes a bit for everything to fall into place, but the girls in the audience don’t mind: They take the pause with their screams of delight.
When Kris finally sings, it’s his interpretation of Kanye West’s Heartless. The crew is into it, though nothing like they were with Adam. Kris’ career, it seems, will go and die on his songs and their arrangements. Adam, on the other hand, will be able to rely just as often on the report of his live performances.
