Kris Allen

Kris Allen is amazing..he is so talented and sexy and really nice. me and my cousin got to meet him and he's super nice. he is great live, sounds just as good as his cd's..he has good energy and he's funny too. any fan should deff check him out!!

Kris Allen's concert was superb. While I am a gent in my 60's, I have been following American Idol for all seasons...and Kris Allen was one of my favorites from his first performance. Then, after his selection as American Idol, I was privileged to meet him in person during the Idol Tour--in Memphis. I have followed him since and am pleased with the quality and sincerity of his singing and music. He really has matured since his Idol Days....and I would abosolutely go see him again if the opportunity presents itself.

Kris Allen is fantastic live, super talented, amazing, powerful, angelic voice, incredible confidence and connection with the audience, facinating-tight band of a very talented musicians, he puts on an amazing-super entimate show, no matter how big the venue is, extreemly funny, witty & smart artist, he grabs your attention, and controls your senses & pulls u back to the stage from moment 0 to 100, not for a moment that you can get distracted by anything other then him there, singing along with him in this fantastic musical journey, from the first moment- till the last, when you discover that the show has ended & you are yerning for more. Kris album is incredible, but Kris live is phenominal, there are people who said that his live performance is much much more and he sounds better than the album, how rare is that. Kris ALLEN CONCERT is a mind-blowing experience, if you missed it you are really missing on life. Highly recommended.

Kris Allen put on a great show at the Intersection in Grand Rapids. Every song was good! We enjoyed every minute of it. The venue made it so cool to see him up close and dance upfront close to the band. You don't get to groove along with the band like that at big venues. And I have to mention that Kris and the band are good lookers! :) Chris Torres is drop dead gorgeous.

Brought my two daughters...They loved it! Chris was just great.

Kris sounded great - excellent support from his band. Venue was small but that made it that much easier to get up close. All artists did autographs and pics after. GREAT night.

Excellent show from start to finish. The sound was excellent and the Intersection was a great place to take in a show! Kris Allen was as cute in person as we witnessed on American Idol. The other members of the band weren't too bad either!

Great concert. also loved opening act- Green River Ordinance

Kris Allen was absolutely wonderful. He did a great job with all of his songs, but that is to be expected from our former American Idol winner. I would recommend that everyone who likes good music to come see him. The entire night was such a blast, I had an unforgettable time.

Let me start off by giving The 71's and Sister Hazel their props for getting everyone in attendance all warmed-up for Kris Allen's awesome concert. It was good music all around. From the very get-go, Kris Allen started throwing those little sticks that glow that they sell in concerts into the crowd, giving way to the first tussles of the night. "What's up Galveston! How ya'll doing tonight? Ya'll ready to have a good time?" Those were his first words and then he went off into the first of his performance songs "Can't Stay Away from You." Red Guitar, a remixed acoustic version of Heartless, Man in the Mirror, The Truth, Before We Come Undone, Alright With Me, Live Like We're Dying, and others, including one he brought out just for the 4th of July were all in the setlist. All of them were great! In the end he started throwing things again to a very excited crowd. Everyone left happy, and I was thankful for having been in the front row.

Thought the event was going to be at the big Queen theatre. Ended up being a very intimate Christmas s etting in the cafe upstairs. Kris sounded amazing and was very friendly. He talked with everyone for a few minutes after the show!

I'm not sure why this concert ended up as a very "intimate group," but it was a wonderful concert. Marie Miller was the opening performer--she has a wonderful, soulful voice and captures her audience right off the bat. Kris Allen was very charming and delighted us with our favorite Christmas carols and some of his own tunes. Would have liked to have him share and speak about his experience from American Idol Days in 2009 and what has happened since. Kris has a wonderful storytelling voice as well, but sharing would warm this concert up even more! Overall, YES, don't miss it!!!

His voice is out of this world, he never sang s bad note. He was funny, down to earth, energetic, and he changed up his songs to make them different live. This is a show to drop everything and go to.

This show, I am still thinking about! Kris Allen is mesmerizing on stage! Took my breath away. Matt Giraud with his powerful musicianship is a perfect match to Kris. Both strong songwriters with lyrics that move you and voices that make you swoon. The best that Season 8 of American Idol produced. Live music...their music... do not miss! A Forever Fan!!

I loved the setup of the venue. They both sung wonderfully.

It is so much fun to watch the reaction of the crowd from the beginning of Kris Allen's shows to the end. Since the show was located in a casino, there were many people that attended the show for entertainment in a casino. At first, the crowd was quietly listening to the songs as Kris and his outstanding band performed. By the middle of the show, people were singing, following the instructions Kris was asking by singing back, dancing, clapping and whistling after each song. By the end, Kris received standing ovations from the crowd and an encore was requested, where he sang 3 more songs. His shows are so much fun and of course, he has a lot of die-hard fans that have been following him since he was on American Idol. Do yourself a favor and go see Kris Allen perform live!

I'm so glad that Kris Allen finally came to Las Vegas. I bought tickets as soon as I heard about the concert. Let me tell you, he was incredible. The Idol viewers got it right--this guy is the real deal. He sounds even better live than he does on his CD's. He really looked like he was having a great time performing and was very playful with the audience. It was a clean show and a lot of fun. I really like that he writes his own songs and also plays the guitar (very well). His voice is incredible, and it's really him singing--no auto tune. Kris, if you are reading this, keep up the great work. I wish that there were more talented, classy entertainers like you who don't put out crappy music just to make a buck. I will see you everytime you come to town. Simply the best!

Awesome vocals! Fun interaction with audience. He gets you up dancing, singing & all around good time! I really enjoyed the show & wouldn't hesitate to see Kris Allen again if he's in are area! Got much more than I was expecting!

Kris and his stellar band are simply fantastic live - it is clear that he loves what he does, from songwriting to performing. He is a gem - a truly talented musician and a good heart. As always, his band manages to keep up with him - and keep the show going, even when there is a broken guitar!

Kris Allen is one of those artists who is even better in concert than his recordings. So much energy and fun! I look forward to seeing him come back to Napa.

Kris Allen is just as adorkable as I remember him from American Idol. I really enjoyed this show. Kris has a beautiful voice, excellent band, and puts on an amazing show. Definitely go see him if you have the chance.

Kris Allen is the best live show that i have been to in a while now. i recommend it 100%. you will have good music and crazy fun. rocking. banter and interaction with audience.

I'm not a fan of sit-down concerts, nor $25 minimum orders to get the best seats (on top of higher ticket prices) but it was all worth it to see Kris Allen. He's amazingly talented and the show was really good. He and his band sing an a capella version of Garth Brooks' The River that is mind blowing!! The venue is very odd and basically encourages people to sit and politely clap. But the crowd got into the music by the end, standing and dancing. The two opening acts, Zak Waters and Harley Jay, were really, really good. Better than you'd expect for opening bands. Go see Kris Allen anytime you can. Go to the Canyon Club for shows you don't mind sitting for.

This was my first time seeing him live. He is such an amazing performing. Even though he was not able to play guitar, his band did a stellar job. Such a great show!

Kris Allen has improved greatly as a singer and performer since idol.. I've always been a huge fan of his voice and style- the sound was amazing live and better than any album could produce. He needs to promote way more because I only luckily found out the day before that he was in town..but then again the smaller concert made for a closer view and more personal event. Wouldn't miss this show for anything. Jillette Johnson? His tour partner is also very good.

Kris was awesome and has such a great voice. We loved the opening singer Rachel Taylor too, her songs were fantastic and her voice so beautiful. We would love to hear her play again!

Kris was absolutely amazing. A true artist/musician. Even with his injured arm and the fact that he could not play the instruments, that he is so good at, he captured his audience. The harmony piece that he did with the band was my favorite!!

Just as amazing as he was on Idol, Great live voice and show.

It was a great show... even with Kris having a broken wrist! He's a trooper and his band is so talented!

Eight days after a head-on collision that sent him to the hospital, sporting a cast for his broken wrist, I was unsure how it would impact his performance. He absolutely rocked, with a voice coming from deep within his soul and smooth moves and playful banter. Please come back to Boston again Kris, we want more!

Brighton Music Hall was a great venue. There weren't too many people, so the concert was very intimate and oriented toward the fans. Kris Allen was amazing to see live! His music is catchy and fun, and his band complimented him perfectly. I would recommend seeing him to anyone!! Kris Allen is one of my favorite American Idol winners!

I went to the Kris Allen concert and have to say, he was "nice". Wish his band was as good as his voice, his transparent and generous personality. His songs were ok, but again, he is better and I imagine in time, if surrounded by and inspired by real characters, real talent, he is going to develop and grow, well past his American Idol beginnings. The real surprise was the result of showing early and instead of the usual unrecognizable, forgettable, opening artist, we were greeted by a richly talented, fresh and familiar songs of Rachel Taylor, from Boston. She had a great group musicians around her that helped her present her songs without cliche. Jesse Russell on cool bass and vocals. She trades her new EP for email. I know is name because he played on the EP. I can't wait to see her again. I LIKED Her FaceBook page too. I am hoping Boston can launch a new artist. I think she is different enough to standout and talented enough to engage new fans everywhere... Oh style, hmmm not pop, not country, not folk, not rock, not jazz, hmmm I need to keep listening cause I'm not sure, but I like Rachel Taylor, she connected with me and seem to with everyone else who were equally happy to Discover someone new who is really really really good. Way to go MUSIC HALL and Kris Allen,! Thank you for introducing me to Rachel Taylor

Kris Allen, even with his right arm in a cast and sling, and thus unable to play the guitar, was still able to put on a fun and enjoyable show. He seemed genuinely excited to be performing, and I really appreciated that he tried to make it an intimate experience with the audience (e.g., speaking to individuals, bringing up a couple of girls who were celebrating their birthdays, interacting with the audience throughout the night). He mostly sang songs from his second album, but did sing a few from his first (Red Guitar, Live Like We're Dying), as well as a few covers. His band sounded great. I also enjoyed his opening act (Jilette Johnson).

I've seen Kris open for Lifehouse twice now. Both times were amazing but he keeps getting better and better. I wish he set list was longer for these shows but this kid is amazing live. Go see him if you get a chance.

Kris Allen and his band seemed very well rehearsed, comfortable and engaging.

This was our first concert at Moody Gardens, it was moved inside due to weather but was still an amazing show. Kris Allen is awesome in concert and I would highly recommend one of his concerts to anyone. In my opinion American Idol made a big mistake by promoting the 2nd place winner and not Kris but we all see how that worked for them. Congratulations Kris on a job well done!

The title of this concert was "Kris Allen with Special Guest Sister Hazel", yet they both sang for 1 hour each. I wish Kris had sung longer than an hour, because he was the main reason I went to the show. Everything ran late for some reason, so I wish they had cut a song from Sister Hazel instead of rushing Kris - thus there was no encore. Also, the venue was not that big and I wish he would have done a meet and greet afterwards. Sister Hazel did it at their merchandise table in between their act and Kris's.

I thought the show was great. Kris Allen's voice is outstanding and what I liked best about the performance is that the songs showcased his voice. Many times at concerts, the music is so loud, it overpowers the singing and the words. But not at this performance. He also was very down to earth and involved the crowd, which I thought was great.

OK, the opening act, The 71's, sucked. They were way too loud and we couldn't understand a word of what they sang. They were not in the same genre of Sister Hazel and Kris Allen at all. On the other hand, Sister Hazel rocked, as usual. Kris Allen was great, better than I anticipated.

I was blown away by the entire show! Though i was not familiar with the opening band, The 71s, i was won over instantly by them. Same goes for Sister Hazel. I bought CDs for both bands. And both bands met with fans in the lobby and signed autographs and took pictures. They were awesome. As for Kris Allen, i have nothing but praise for him. He was an amazing, energetic performer. He interacted with the crowd, sang his heart out, and kept my attention from start to finish. I couldn't look away. The entire crowd was dancing and singing along all night. After the show a few fans waited to see if Kris would sign some things and take some pictures, and Kris didn't disappoint. He got off his bus and hung out with us for a bit, waiting until all who stayed had gotten a picture, despite the fact that he looked exhausted. He's an incredible entertainer, and an all around great guy. He loves his fans, and it shows. One thing is for sure, this will not be the last concert of his that i go to. *Thanks Kris, Sister Hazel, and The 71s for giving me the time of my life. Love you all*

Moody Gardens did a great job of moving the concert inside and pulling it off despite all the rain. Sister Hazel was awesome and Kris Allen sounded great too. Wasn't fond of the 71's. Lead singer was a bit strange. Not sure what happened at the end of the Kris Allen set, all of the sudden, he announced the last song, and was gone. It felt rushed, but all in all, great date night with my Hubby!

Moved inside because of rain? Not awful, but at least make sure your lights work so that the whole stage is lit. Then DON"T let the supporting act play longer than your star! Cutting Kris Allen short because of poor time management? FAIL. See Kris live because he's amazing. The rest? No thanks.

Can't say enough about the Kris Allen concert at The Cannery in Nashville! Kris was amazing! His voice was incredible! How his voice blended with his band mates was electrifying! Pure talent & entertainment from the first song to the last! The crowd was engaged during each song, singing along and rockin' to the tunes! Kris's personality & core values are evident from the moment he enters onto the stage until he exits! I was fortunate enough to be able to go backstage to meet Kris and he was warm, kind, & genuine with each guest during his meet & greet! We bought cd's in the lobby and he signed both mine and my friends plus a picture! You can tell that not only is Kris an amazingly talented entertainer but that he is purely a GREAT guy!

Kris is such a nice guy and very low key. There is nothing fake about this guy. His music and his band is just average in my opinion. Nothing really special going on here. But I do wish him well. He seems to have a faithful following.

Kris Allen & his band absolutely blew me away! I didn't want the show to end! I would definitely recommend going to see them & I would definitely go to another show!

I love Kris' voice! He's a talented singer and musician and did several cool mash-ups of songs. He also does a great job engaging the audience and interacting with them - very down to earth and cool guy!

One of the best aspects of seeing an American Idol winner is that you know the artist performs well live. Kris Allen did an amazing job and, even though I am not an American Idol viewer, I really enjoyed his music! Obviously he has a great singing voice!! His easing going and crowd-pleasing personality will only aide him in his excellent future in the music business. Can't wait to catch his next show in Nashville!

The concert was amazing. Kris Allen was great! He was very interative with the audience. He helped us sing along and even brought a girl up on stage for her birthday and asked her to be part of the band for a song. It was very exciting. He also came out to the audience and shook hands while he sang. Overall it was great!

It was on a whim that I decided to buy tickets to the Kris Allen concert, and when I did, I bought them for my whole family. It's very rare that a whole family can enjoy one concert, but we did. Even with the AC out and with balcony seats, it was a phenomenal concert that I would gladly go back to.

Kris really puts on a great show. He is very entertaining and interacts well with the crowd.

Great Concert, Great Venue. Was a pretty small intimate venue which made the experienceall the better. For $25 you could literally be front row. Asfar as Kris stellar performance said he was under the weather afterwards but couldnt tell through the entirety of the concert. Will definitely try to make another stop on the tour...Go The Truth!

The concert was great. The sound was great also. Being in a smaller venue was better than at a larger arena.

Great event. Venue allowed us to be up close with Kris. Crowd was great. Kris connected well with crowd and showed off his many talents.

The show opened with Texas' GRO, who were really fun, especially when they played their hits "Goodbye LA" and "Come On". Their upbeat songs were great for setting the tone for the night. The Fine Line was almost full with a wide variety of fans: a couple of children, lots of twentysomethings, couples, groups of friends,etc. It was very crowded on the floor, but there was some room to move around upstairs, which was nice. Kris had a great setlist that included his hits from the album, "Live Like We're Dying" and "The Truth", as well as a mashup of "Heartless", which was arguably his greatest hit on American Idol and "Gangsta's Paradise". It was cool to hear the band do an acoustic version of "Maybe" and "Paranoid Android", which both served to show the great versatility of the Kris Allen Band. Of course my favorites were all from Kris Allen's new album: Bring It Back, Red Guitar, Before We Come Undone, All Right With Me, Lifetime, and more. I was really impressed with how tight the band was and the beautiful harmonies they created together. They seemed like they had been playing together for years. The sound was great from where I was sitting, and they were fabulous! I found out afterwards that Kris was sick and that that was why the band didn't come back for an encore. I was disappointed that I didn't get to hear my favorite Kris Allen song, "I Need to Know" (rumor has it that it was on the setlist along with "Come Together" for the encore), but the songs that we did experience were awesome (I think they played for about 1-1/4 hours), so I definitely left feeling thrilled with the concert experience. I never would have known that Kris was sick...he was really a trooper, and I thought his voice sounded amazing! It was really an awesome show.

LOVED that it was at the Fine Line, fantastic venue to be up close and personal. You could tell Kris was a bit under the weather...he was slightly cranky when we met him. I don't blame him, but come on. Be nice to your wonderful fans!

Rarely have I seen an ARTIST as talented as Kris who delivers current sounds mixed with great lyrics. Jon Bream of the Star Tribue stated "this lightweight hasn't decided who he is a concert artist". Well Jon perhaps has illusions of grandeur that he should be the next Simon Cowell and has forgotton that Kris is no longer on the show. I would expect nothing less from a reviewer who doesn't appreciate any type of music outside of his genre. Get with the times Jon. I hope that America gets over the "idol" status and takes a look at Kris as an artist - This kid's got tallent!

To see a talent like Kris Allen at an intimate venue like the Fine Line in Minneapolis was nothing short of amazing. I smiled through the entire show. Don't listen to the Tribune. Obviously whoever wrote that review is suffering from resentment that Adam didn't win Idol. They are two very different performers. Kris' style you fell in love on Idol...always being true to himself...was consistent with his fantastic performance at the Fine Line. And to watch him from 10 feet away was unforgettable.

Kris Allen rocked the house. Besides sounding just like his CD, he is absolutely adorable! He brought a couple of people from the crowd on stage for one song and then signed autographs at the end of the show. He is truly down-to-earth.

Yeah that was the best night of my life! such an amazing concert!! I had the time of my life! Nothing will ever top seeing Kris Allen in concert. Nothing.

I was right up front and Kris is wonderful. He is great at getting his audience involved with the show and he puts on an amazing show with his band. Green River Ordinance is wonderful as well! We waited outside in the rain for 2.5 hours to wait for the doors to open!

This was an Amazing show!!!!! he sounds just as good live as he does on tv!!! i could have stood there all night and listened to him sing!!! his is so funny and his band is awesome. if you are wondering if you should buy tickets i highly recommend that you do! it was amazing!!!

Kris Allen was absolutely fantastic last night! He really knows how to put on a show, and he changed his own music up enough to fit his true style. He proved that he will be able to make it with a loyal fan base outside of Idol. He is a wonderful lyricist and guitar player, and we all know he can sing from watching Idol. If you've ever been a fan of his, or liked him on Idol I would recommend buying his self-titled CD and going to a show of his!

Kris Allen was seriously unforgettable. He played his whole album, minus one song, and some unbelievable covers. He sang every tune with deep emotion and got the crowd so pumped up they sang along to every song. The appreciation level towards him was amazing. Excellent show, will be seeing him for the 4th time in August!

This concert was amazing. Kris Allen is definitely underrated as an artist. From covers of "Heartless/Gangsta's Paradise", "Man in the Mirror", to his hit "Live Like We're Dying" there was never a dull moment in Kris's set. As the encore Kris played the piano with "I Need To Know" amazing amazing amazing and then ended with "Come Together." Go see Kris Allen live!

This show was nonstop fun, singing along to his songs and covers and enjoying Kris' undeniable talent and energy up on the stage. His band meshes with him and his songs so well, you'd think they'd been playing for years together. It was just a blast to see Kris Allen live. And the crowd was great- you could hardly hear him talk sometimes in between songs, for we were all cheering for him so loudly! I can't wait to see him live again.

Great band - Kris sings with everything he has ... a great overall show and performance. Kris talks to the audience quite a bit - very entertaining in a reserved, sweet way. Very friendly signing autographs and lots of photos with individuals after the performance. For those that did not attend the show at the Intersection in Grand Rapids, what a great show they missed, especially in a small venue - everyone had a great view and was up close. The opening band, Green River Ordinance, was also a pretty good band.

It was a fun musical evening. The bands sounded great and the Intersection in Grand Rapids was a really great venue. Thanks!

I would recommend for everyone to get out to one of Kris Allen's concerts. He sings from his huge heart!
