How Sweet it Is by Kris Allen: 1-866-436-5702

Kris Allen sang “How Sweet it Is” by Marvin Gaye - He started kinda slow but then he kicked it up a bit. The performance reminded us of James Taylor though he made sure that the arrangement was original. It's very soulful, upbeat with great vocals. We loved it. I'm sure America will..

On the other hand, the other Idol wannabes sang the following songs:

Matt Giraud - “Let’s Get it On” by - Marvin Gaye
Scott MacIntyre - ”You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes
Megan Joy Corkrey - “For Once in My Life” by Stevie Wonder
Anoop Desai - “Ooh Baby Baby” by - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
Michael Sarver - “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” by - Temptations
Lil Rounds - “Heatwave” by - Martha and the Vandellas
Adam Lambert - “Tracks of my Tears” by - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Danny Gokey - “Get Ready” by - The Temptations
Allison Iraheta - “Papa was a Rolling Stone” by - The Temptations

Here's a youtube linked video of his performance:




Here's what the judges have to say:
Kara : “You did Kris. You did everything right,”
Paula: “Brilliant…I”m proud of you.”
Simon: “That was smart…but you have to start believing in yourself. You have to be conceited,”
Randy: "Just keep it in the stride…It’s all good..”


Vote for Kris Allen now!!

Kris Allen will go 60's.. Motown style

This week's theme for American Idol is Motown (60's music). Here's a little info on what the hell Motown is:








Motown Records is a record label originally based in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. on January 12, 1959 as Tamla Records, the company was incorporated as Motown Record Corporation on April 14, 1960. The name, a portmanteau derived from the words motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit.



Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music, as it was the first record label owned by an African American to primarily feature African-American artists who achieved crossover success. In the 1960s, Motown and its soul-based subsidiaries were the most successful proponents of what came to be known as The Motown Sound, a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence.



Motown has owned or distributed releases from more than 45 subsidiaries in varying genres, although it is most famous for its releases in the music genres of rhythm and blues, soul, hip hop and pop. Motown Records left Detroit for Los Angeles in 1972, and remained an independent company until June 28, 1988, when Gordy sold the company to MCA and Boston Ventures (which took over full ownership of Motown in 1991), then to PolyGram in 1994. Now headquartered in New York City, Motown Records is a subsidiary of The Universal Motown/Universal Republic Group, itself a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.
