American Idol 8 Top 9 Kris Allen “Ain’t No Sunshine”

Kris Allen picked one of my favorite songs, “Ain’t No Sunshine” and he really brought some emotion to it.  He stripped it down and began the performance by just accompanying himself on the keyboards.  I really liked it and I’m happy that he is coming out of nowhere and emerging as a frontrunner in the competition.  LOVED the violins at the end.  Gorgeous.Randy said that for the last couple weeks Kris has been so in the zone.  He said it was creative and cool.  Kara said “that is artistry!”  Paula said that he took a 30 year old song and made it sound brand new.  Simon said that it was Kris’ best performance so far.
