Over one thousand fans crowd the ballroom and enjoyed the 45minute next to nothing performance. It was one hell of a night especially the girls. Honestly, i thought the whole showcase was a big bang! Everything was perfectly executed. The crowd was hyped up and Allen defiantly did not disappoint them.

Hitz.fm Morning Crew kick things off with their attics and funny but lame jokes to keep the crowd cheering for Kris. IMG_8058 IMG_8059

At 5 feet plus, Kris definitely is not the tallest American, but his voice and talent definitely brought the house down judging by the roars from his fans when he kicked things off.

The songlist :

 Fearless, The Truth, Red Guitar, Alright with Me, Live Like We’re Dying , the Beatles’ Come Together.

When Kris Allen came closer to the stage, every single girl in the ballroom went bezzerk and pushed to be in front to be able to touched his hands. Talk about worshiping Kris….

His band. Very well done indeed. The performance was fantabulous. Imagine me being a guy, got blown away just by watching this cutie performing. His band definitely help lift his already energetic performance higher.

I can bet you, every single female fans there were going all crazy when he did that. IT WAS SUPERBLY INSANE. Too bad it is just a showcase. If it is a full fledge concert… i think he will be naked by then =p

After ‘Live like we’re dying’ Kris then bid farewell to Malaysia before the fans demanded for more. Cheers and chants of Kris were heard all over the ballroom. The crowd were chanting “ We Want More ” and after a few minutes accompanied by JJ and Ean’s persuasive demand, Kris and his band members finally came up to perform the last 2 songs in which he end the night with his rendition of the beetles ‘Come Together’.

The showcase was awesome but i am sure the crowd wasn’t really satisfied with his 45minutes performance. Even i admit I AM NOT! I want and hope he will come back for a bigger and better show! Cant wait.!

Kris Allen was the underdog at American Idol season 8. His win was at once a controversy as he was describe to be not as talented as the other 12 finalist. Nevertheless, his talent and his cute looks shut them up when he did his own rendition of Heartless in which it made it to the Billboard top 100.

During an interview at the press conference, Kris was quoted saying that winning American Idol is just weird. ‘“I don’t think anybody can explain it in a word. A couple of years ago, I was in a small apartment not doing anything. Then I got on a talent show and was lucky to get as far as I did.”

The Arkansas born lad is married to Katherine O’Connell.

Kris Allen’s latest single ‘Live like you’re dying’ is now a hit and has been receiving fair lots of airplay. His album has been a hit and currently at number 11 in Billboard 200. His self titled album is available at all music stores nationwide.
