Is it just me or does it feel like it’s been ages since Kris actually won American Idol? Maybe I just haven’t been interested in what he’d come up with. I actually thought I had him pegged. I figured him to be the “one hit wonder” kind. He’ll do better than Taylor Hicks but couldn’t possibly be as big as David Cook — or maybe even David Archuleta. As for his songs, I had a feeling it was something I might not be compelled to upload to my Ipod.
Listening now to “Live like we’re dying,” Kris Allen’s debut single, it’s not really half as bad. It’s got a catchy tune and good lyrics. Of course, it’s nowhere near David Cook’s “Light On” but I suppose it’s apples and oranges, right? Although, if it’s good, whether it’s an apple, an orange or even durian (a smelly locally grown fruit which has a large following, despite its popularity for being a cause of increased blood pressure), it’s bound to be a hit, right?
The song seems like it’s headed for the charts. But I still wouldn’t discount the “one hit wonder” thing. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike Kris Allen. I think he’s an all around OK guy. I just wouldn’t have figured him to be an American Idol is all I’m saying.
Well, I guess we’ll just wait and see. For now, though, the future looks bright for Kris Allen.Anyway, here’s the single, uploaded by zenvirgil on youtube.
Enjoy!
