Besides the overly cliche title, the lyrics and melody are beyond bland. It seems perfectly suited for Adult Contemporary radio, but even Kris can do better than this. It's just a cover of some other band's bad song. Time will tell if radio will bother to play this. It'll either sink or swim based on its blandness.
Ah, the life of American Idol winner Kris Allen. He seems like a nice enough guy, but currently he's making two big profile mistakes that could hurt him in the long run. First, TMZ reports that he's trying to sublet his apartment in Cabot, Arkansas since he's currently touring and will then be living in Hollywood. Apparently Kris forgets that the frauen have lots of extra money and lots of extra time to be creepy. It shouldn't be long before a creepy 400 pound woman rents the place and does unemtnionable things to all of his stuff while he's gone. Second, MJ's Big Blog has a photo of Kris in a recording studio with Chris Daughtry. Daughtry's new album shouldn't sell anywhere near what his last one did, so he's on a downward spiral. Don't get caught in that Kris. Kelly Clarkson almost made that mistake, but thankfully somehow got out of it. So what's the summary here? Kris, don't rent your apartment to a frau and don't record with Daughtry if you want any kind of career.
Kara DioGuardi's masterpiece of crap "No Boundaries" was such an embarrassment that it was funny to see Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have to pretend to like the song during this year's Idol finale. Well people must have booed the song on tour, because now it's been completely removed according to the New York Post. Now Kris Allen is singing the Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" (above) instead. At least Kara's lame song will be taken out back and finally put out of its misery. RIP "No Boundaries", the worst Idol winner's song ever.
Kris Allen still hasn't learned that to hide the fact that he's pocket sized in real life, he needs to hang out with shorter people so he looks normal height. Instead, he's posing with basketball players and looking even more midget like. May we suggest Kris's next promo opportunity is with some horse jockeys or singing a concert for some 8 year olds (like David Archuleta and friends)?
It's still always fun to listen to our live reaction to Kris Allen winning, over and over. Truly a classic VFTW victory.
People are abuzz about articles such as the one in the New York Times that claim that AT&T swayed Kris Allen's vote totals to help him win. AT&T provided phones at Kris Allen voting parties in Arkansas and showed the participants how to "power text" by sending 10 or more text votes at the push of a single button. If that's the case, thank you AT&T. We didn't know you were Worsters. VFTW Victory!
The Fox outlet that originally said that Kris Allen received 38 million votes from Arkansas alone has retracted that statement. It seemed implausible that 38% of the votes cast would come from one state, and it looks like it was completely false. Oh well, it would have been funny if it were true. And now it just goes to show that VFTW, and not Arkansas, made Kris Allen win of course. There is no other explanation.
Based on incorrect information provided to one of our reporters, FOX16 News reported Wednesday night, an extraordinary number of votes came in from Arkansas to American Idol.
AT&T spokesman Ted Wagnon told us today, "AT&T does not divulge or confirm how many votes were cast in any state."
We apologize for the error.
Rickey.org has heard some information about Kris Allen's upcoming album. And needless to say, it's not good:
This just goes to show that VFTW and other people who voted for Kris Allen to win did the right thing. The powers that be wanted Adam Lambert to win, so much so that Kris isn't even getting quality material for his new album. We bet the album will be forgettable, which is sad, because Kris could probably write his own music and make a decent album. Yet he'll be stuck recording with lame producers that no one cares about. Why would Kris's label throw away what is likely an easy sell? Who knows.
