American Idol 8 Kris Allen “What’s Going On”

May 19, 2009 by Jeanne

Simon Fuller chose “What’s Going On” for Kris Allen and it he chose start it off with just the guitar and it was really nice. It’s one of my favorite Marvin Gaye songs and I’m happy with what he did with it.

Randy said that they’ve got themselves a real competition right now but felt that the song was a little light for him. Kara said that Kris has been true to himself since day one and she likes that Fuller picked a socially conscious song for someone like him. Paula said that Kris tore the song up and made Marvin Gaye proud. Simon said that the performance was too laid back for a night like this.
