    I can’t wait for the tour and for new songs. Actually I’m not impatient about new songs I’m just happy that he’ll have so much time to write them so the second album (when and if that comes) will be even better than the first.

    Kris Allen has double duty in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve
    http://www.vegasdeluxe.com/blogs/luxe-life/2009/dec/30/kris-allen-has-double-duty-las-vegas-new-years-eve/ (Kris performs today at midnight at the new B.B. King’s Blues Club in The Mirage and tomorrow after his live performance on FOX he is going to see Maroon 5!)

    From KAddicts on twitter:

    “I emailed AOL about why the sessions hasn’t been posted. Well today, I get an email back:
    We apologize for the Kris Allen Session not being up. There has been some legal issues that have not permitted us to put them up. Hopefully we will be able to put them up soon. Sincerely, AOL Music”

    What kind of legal issues can AOL have since KAband played their songs during these sessions? The only cover they did was “O Holy Night” which has been covered by thousands of people so that wasn’t the problem, I guess and since Christmas is over they could have excluded this one and could have already given us the rest. I hope whatever it is it’s solved soon.

  • ilovekrisallen39

    Yeah I was wondering what kind of legal issues there talking about. I just read about that on twitter also.

  • http://MJO judes

    Yep definitely looking forward to 2010 & seeing Kris & the band on tour!!

  • Mtlfan

    thanks Payton for the links. I usually don’t vote on these but did for bb Kris :)

    you bet we like your songs Kris!!!! I freakin love them; i don’t even skip one on my ipod :)

    i so want him to come to Montreal in 2010!! If he does just Toronto in eastern Canada, I’ll go

    So looking forward to seeing Kris on tour in 2010!

    Someone gave me their websites – I saw that Lannen Fall have few local gigs. I like their sound, and I really liked Shirock’s too.

  • cookbunny

    What kind of legal issues can AOL have since KAband played their songs during these sessions?

    “O Holy Night” wasn’t written by Van Halen, was it? *ducks flying tomatoes*

    What, am I still bitter over CookWood? Naaaaaaaah…yes.

  • Squirrely

    ‘O Holy Night’  wasn’t written by Van Halen, was it? *ducks flying tomatoes*

    What, am I still bitter over CookWood? Naaaaaaaah’ ¦yes.

    ??

  • cookbunny

    Sorry, I’ll explain…Carrie Underwood and David Cook (or “CookWood” as some people like) were supposed to duet on Van Halen’s “Why Can’t This Be Love” on her holiday special. It was cut out because 19, Nigel, whoever didn’t get copyright permission from VH. Ergo, the Van Halen joke.

    OIC, thanks :)

  • cookcricket

    Did he do the “Heartless” mash-up? I also got a reply from AOL and pretty much figured out that “O Holy Night” would more than likely be public domain. However, probably not Gansta’s Paradise. :( I don’t know why they didn’t just leave this one out if that is the case…

  • Mtlfan

    here’s the interview (over the phone) for the Vegas event today (thanks to mmk28 for the link):

    Kris spoke with me on the phone a few hours ago after being delayed at McCarran Airport amid the New Year’s Eve onslaught into Las Vegas.

    Don Chareunsy: Have you been to Las Vegas before?

    Kris Allen: I’ve never been to Las Vegas before, man. What a time to come, right? New Year’s Eve!

    DC: Will you get a chance to see or do anything aside from perform during your first visit?

    KA: I’m really excited about seeing Love. I’ve never seen a Cirque du Soleil show before.

    DC: Congratulations on your first album and hit single ‘Live Like We’re Dying.’  What has been the highlight since winning American Idol back in May?

    KA: Thanks, man. Thanks a lot. The tour after American Idol was really cool, going to some 50 cities with the other singers. It was a total blast to be on the bus together. We had a lot of fun.

    DC: And the best city?

    KA: My hometown. They had a very nice welcoming for me in my hometown.

    DC: What was your favorite song to perform on the show?

    KA: Probably ‘Ain’t No Sunshine.’  I had a good time arranging the song, and it was really fun to perform.

    DC: I read in your bio that you were a fan of Garth Brooks growing up listening to your dad’s records. You should check out his show at the Wynn. Who are your favorite artists today?

    KA: Man, don’t tell me that, but I’m coming back to Las Vegas. I’ll get to see him. I like a lot of current artists. Switchfoot. The Fray. Maroon 5. I like John Mayer. I’m going to see Maroon 5 on New Year’s Eve.

    DC: If there’s one thing you could add to your must-see list in Las Vegas, what would it be?

    KA: To be honest, the Garth Brooks show. I saw an ad in the airport and said that I have to see that. He’s awesome.

    DC: Are you excited about performing in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve? And tonight, too?

    KA: Yeah, man, the show tonight at B.B. King’s Blues Club was booked a week ago. And then live TV. I’ve performed on live TV, but this is New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas!

    DC: Your first big gig of the New Year on live TV. No pressure.

    KA: Yeah, man, thanks, no pressure at all!

    DC: What is your New Year’s resolution?

    KA: Hmmm ‘ ¦ focus more on music. I’m not really a New Year’s resolution kind of guy.

  • payton

    thanks Payton for the links. I usually don’t vote on these but did for bb Kris

    you’re welcome! and i had no clue who the other guys were either, so thanks for anyone who cleared that up! i didn’t really care though, i was so excited to see kris in first. lol

  • Ratna12

    Kris is just so pretty.
    Anyway, voted already. Thanks for the link.

    All the critics out there should take a note that Kris’ most memorable moment this year was NOT winning idol, but singing a song with somebody. Love that. Take that , Simon.

    A couple months till the next single ? sigh.

    So, the Vegas thing is LIVE tomorrow ? How can that be ? So, the East Coast people won’t see it at midnight ?
    Sorry, never heard that before. I’m from West Coast, so we always have something that was taped from the East Coast played at midnight here.

    I’m loading up on caffeine right now to get ready for midnight tonight.
    Yea Kris ! Your first time in Las Vegas will be so memorable.

  • ross

    So, the Vegas thing is LIVE tomorrow ? How can that be ? So, the East Coast people won’t see it at midnight ?

    Live at 9 pacific time, midnight eastern time? Just guessing, I really don’t know. When does the show begin anyhow, an hour or so before midnight?

  • Mtlfan

    I’m in EST and my local TV guide says it begins at 11:00 pm.

    thanks Payton for the links. I usually don’t vote on these but did for bb Kris

    I voted too, btw and like that it’s a one time vote. :D

  • mmk28

    Yes, girlygirl you are definitely right I just suck at timezones.

  • Caitlin03

    It’s 12 where I am. So, I guess LV is 2 hours behind me. haha Didn’t know that, thanks!

    Can’t wait for videos in the morning (I hope)!

    Hopefully there are Kris fans at Las Vegas already that are there for the New Years Eve gig; and those lucky people will hear about tonight’s gig and also go the B.B King venue. And since this is for New Year, those people are ready with their videotapes and enough batteries to tape a whole hour of show. :)

    I’m just excited to see something of Kris . Tonight, tomorrow night. and the Fox Reality of Idol will start Jan 1 continuing for the next week.

  • Caitlin03

    There are some there now that are going to tweet, but it’s not for awhile, of course. I desperately need to go to bed, but I want to stay up to see, too. I’m sad. haha

    The marquee is awesome, I bet Kris is so excited. I’m so proud of him.

    # @tawneej between the three of us we will get video. We’ll most likely rotate 29 minutes ago from mobile web

    I really hope there is a good turnout…considering this seems like something set up just last week. Can’t wait to see video…from the sounds of it, it seems more acoustic since someone tweeted that there were stools set up.

    And CSA with guitar ? Poor Diane , I think it was her that doesn’t want CSA w/ guitar.

  • ilovekrisallen39

    He also sang AWM and IIO

  • girlygirl

    So far:

    Heartless mashup
    CSA
    AWM
    Is It Over

  • Ratna12

    Please, somebody save the battery to tape Red Guitar.

  • Izzieq

    I truly hope that tomorrow night, if he does CSA on the NYE show, he leaves the guitar in the case. I love to watch him work the stage while singing this song and it gives it more of an edge when he isn’t just singing at the microphone. He is also able to interact more with the crowd. And, for TV is comes across as more energetic. I wonder what made him start using the guitar on CSA? Someone tell him we like it without the guitar…maybe Jim C can tweet him or something :)

  • ilovekrisallen39

    Man In The Mirror

  • Ratna12

    Is he saving Red Guitar for the last song or LLWD ?

    He sang 5 already. And sadly no full hour of Kris.
    That’s OK, he needs rest for tomorrow.

  • girlygirl

    Now he’s doing MITM

    Looks like same ol same ol set list, with possible exception of Red Guitar (if he really is doing that)

  • cookcricket

    I’ve really gotta go to bed. I’m hosting NYE party here tom. night and need to finish preparing. Ugh!
    I hope this gig is going well! I hope for great vids!!! I hope peeps are coming in off the street and will demand more than a 7 song set! I hope no guitar tonight on TV w/ CSA!!!
    I’m so glad they’re getting this set before the NYE thing! I envy those who are there!

    Okay, off I go. Enjoy! I’ll check in the morning for vids!

  • ilovekrisallen39

    RG now

  • mmk28

    I think nobody wants CSA with guitar. Why do you love your guitar so much, Kris? Andrew and Cale do a great job! I guess only in big arenas he performs that song without the guitar all by themselves on that song, or is it only Andrew? Anyway, maybe there isn’t much room to move around and in an intimate scene like this he might have caused some heart attacks so I don’t blame him, he is thoufhtful of his fans.

    Also from the pictures I think Cale has shaved and Kris hasn’t. Something is wrong in the world. As much as I like the scruffy look for a change I think I won’t enjoy it during a performance on national TV. Please, Kris no beard for tomorrow.

    Short recap/funny details from sb who attended the show (source: ontd_ai)

    There was like a lady who had on a shirt with an ironed on picture of Kris and mickey mouse from disney world. He singled her out and asked her what was on her shirt and he made this weird face and said that mickey was awkward because he was talking to him and mickey wouldn’t respond. and then cale said something it was really cute and funny. <- lol
    Apparently he messed up the lyrics during ANS but he improvised and at the end he brought it back together and he sounded awesome.

    Andrew said that he had no idea that they were doing the show until two days ago and so that tweet about the secret show was this one.

    Before he introduced IIO, he said the usual about writing it with Cale and he asked him how long they have known each other and they answered at the same time but Kris said 7 years and Cale said 2 weeks and the australian chick next to me thought that was the funniest shit ever and was like choking, it was weird. lol Also the crowd was really into IIO, it probably got the biggest response of the album songs.

    Red Guitar was awesome. It sounded really different in the beginning like almost unrecognizable and then when the verses started it sounded like the studio. Before and after the song he kept on saying that this was the first time he played it live and some dude cheered and kris said "yay for it sucking" and he played it and it was awesome.

    He introduced Baby One More Time as a sexy version of a song we probably know and told us that we look like a sing along crowd. It was totally sexy.

    AWM was great he jumped down to the barriers and gave hi-5's at the yeah sing along part

    MITM is a total crowd pleaser. He said the story about it being the first time we saw him on "a show called american idol, you might have heard of it", lame joke is lame whatever made everyone aww. That sounded amazing, I hope there is good audio of that cause it sounded better than any other concert.

  • mmk28

    h2oconvo quick update on video. i’ll only have time to upload red guitar tonite. need to sleep for drive back to socal in a.m.
    h2oconvo Just rewatched the instrumental part at the end … whoah. DED. Will tweet link when ready.

    Recap/funny details from sb who attended the show (source: ontd_ai)

    There was like a lady who had on a shirt with an ironed on picture of Kris and mickey mouse from disney world. He singled her out and asked her what was on her shirt and he made this weird face and said that mickey was awkward because he was talking to him and mickey wouldn’t respond. and then cale said something it was really cute and funny. <- lol
    Apparently he messed up the lyrics during ANS but he improvised and at the end he brought it back together and he sounded awesome.

    Andrew said that he had no idea that they were doing the show until two days ago and so that tweet about the secret show was this one.

    Before he introduced IIO, he said the usual about writing it with Cale and he asked him how long they have known each other and they answered at the same time but Kris said 7 years and Cale said 2 weeks and the australian chick next to me thought that was the funniest shit ever and was like choking, it was weird. lol Also the crowd was really into IIO, it probably got the biggest response of the album songs.

    Red Guitar was awesome. It sounded really different in the beginning like almost unrecognizable and then when the verses started it sounded like the studio. Before and after the song he kept on saying that this was the first time he played it live and some dude cheered and kris said "yay for it sucking" and he played it and it was awesome.

    He introduced Baby One More Time as a sexy version of a song we probably know and told us that we look like a sing along crowd. It was totally sexy.

    AWM was great he jumped down to the barriers and gave hi-5's at the yeah sing along part

    MITM is a total crowd pleaser. He said the story about it being the first time we saw him on "a show called american idol, you might have heard of it", lame joke is lame whatever made everyone aww. That sounded amazing, I hope there is good audio of that cause it sounded better than any other concert.

    Wow Red Guitar was just Wow I loved it. Does anyone but me get a little Country vibe to that song. It sounds like a cross over song to me. I can’t wait for the rest of the video’s. I can’t decided if I like Cale all cleaned face all that. And I think Kris looks supper sexy in those two pictures up above.

    Red Guitar. Amazing ! That’s the first time he sang it live in front of audience after a 2 day notice,… OK then. :)

    Thank you Kris, maybe he felt the fans’ frustration with the AOL Session. And thank you to the videotaper for the nice close-up video.

    Thanks for the tweets from the BB King club concert. I was seriously considering hopping a flight or driving to Vegas yesterday. But I have the flu and it was raining – not a good combo.

    Loved Red Guitar and can’t wait to see more videos. I wish Kris had a professional videographer follow him to these things and post them on youtube and his site. Get Mama Allen on that!

    AOL Sessions are claiming legal problems? What? Is Fox or 19 demanding $1 a month for every AOL subscriber? (AOL and Time Warner just divorced) OK, I’m bitter that it wasn’t up in time for Christmas and the gift card shopping sprees. And I’m REALLY bitter that Fox will go dark on my TV at midnight and I’ll probably miss seeing Kris on my new TV.

    I think nobody wants CSA with guitar. Why do you love your guitar so much, Kris?

    :lol: There are quite a few of us who want CSA sans guitar!

    mmk28 – thanks for the recap…awesome! Sounds like everything went great! And glad that Adam’s fans were nice. Was worried after I read the whole “who here are Adam fans” tweet.
