Kris Allen

I would like to introduce Kris Allen, who won the first place in the season eight of American idol. He is praised as a versatile musician who can not only writing songs but also play many kinds of instrument including acoustic and electric guitar, piano and keyboard, ukulele(a kind of instrument in Hawaii),and viola. But what makes him become the winner of competition is his natural and sincere singing style which successfully penetrates into people’s heart. If one had to try, they might say his music is a mix of acoustic, soul, and pop, but then they would also have to mention the blues undertones and quick moving rhythms of some of his songs.

However, at first, he didn’t receive positive comments from the judges. However, when he put his guitar behind and sang the song “to make you feel me my love”, all the audiences and judges were amazed by his excellent performance because he proved to everyone that his performance without any instrument at hand could still be very attractive and impressive.

Every so often someone comes along with a style of music that cannot be classified or labeled as one particular thing. The style is so their own that it's impossible to place it in just one group. Kris Allen is one of these musicians. Not only is his style unique, but his strength is live performance where he entertains crowds with his powerful voice and his own personal take on a wide variety of favorites.
