I’m indifferent toward Jimmy Buffett. I don’t care what the stadium was named for, I’ll never hear that name and take it seriously. Too many college parties tuned into SNL to erase the Land Shark skits from my memory.

Me too! All I could think every time I read the stadium name was, “Candygram!” Hee

Although, “Let’s Get Drunk and Screw” is a classic…

Love Gillian Welch ! Got to see her do an acapella “Didn’t Leave Nobody but the Baby” with Allison Krauss (ETA: and Rawlings) at last year’s ACL Fest. Absolutely amazing!

“LLWD IS #10 on itunes in NEW ZEALAND. I heard the top station had been playing it a lot and The Script are very popular there.”

That makes me so happy and can’t wait for Sunday videos!

These pics of Kris look so awkward to me.

However, just for the record, I downloaded his single 3 times accidentally lol.

The “duet” with Danny was a travesty, exceeded in wrong only by Simon’s comment that Danny sang it better. I almost shot my TV.

Which reminds me of Elvis! Thanks, hwc, for the link to Elvis Presley Blues. I do love me some blues and will check out more of Gillian Welch’s stuff.

Thanks for that article, mmk28.

It is very cool that they made a shirt for him to commemorate his album debut.

They are really giving Kris the 5 star VIP treatment. Lots of press and radio. The banner of him, private tour, Orange Carpet appearance tomorrow, video messages from him throughout the game.

I really want to know how this came about. It certainly doesn’t seem like your typical AI fare or something 19 would come up with.

I think it’s a fabulous opportunity for him and he’s going to come in contact with some very influential people. Tapping into the sports market may very well be genius.

How much do I love that somebody mentioned “Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw” here. That song features the late, great Vassar Clements on fiddle. I actually think his sleazy fiddle playing makes the song. My favorite Buffett song would be “He Went to Paris” or maybe “Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfan”. I’m actually no longer a fan *gasp*. I got over him in about 1980 when he went really mainstream.

IMO, this is a good gig for Kris. One thing I thought of last night was that a good showing tomorrow may translate into another appearance for Kris Super Bowl weekend. There are a lot of major musical artists who perform that weekend at various pre Super Bowl events. Super Bowl XLIV is also going to be played nowhere other than LandShark Stadium. You never know. Some people may mock this performance but Kris is getting a lot of exposure and some very good press. This is his weekend so far with his album tracks being released, a very good review on his album and now performing his new songs in front of a live audience. Great for him.

Gulfluv, thanks for the article…I wondered if there was any significance to the number 17…duh! haha

Here is an article about what Kris did yesterday in the stadium. It says that the number 17 on his t-shirt represents the 17th of November. That’s very cool. I haven’t thought about it and I guess not a lot of people will get it, unless they anounce it during his performance. http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/kris-allen-gets-tour-land-shark-stadium

Couldn’t they have used a better picture of him in this article? That is seriously funny looking. Yeah, Kris can on occasion take a bad picture, lol. Great article, though, sounds like a fun time. Wonder is there is vid of his touchdown ball-spike?

I’m really surprised that MJ hasn’t called this Jimmy Buffet stuff. The first couple of posts…okay. But this is SUPPOSED to be about Kris Allen!

Many thanks to cookcricket and hwc for the Elvis Presley Blues mentions. I enjoyed both Jimmy Buffett and Gillian Welch’s versions. I could hear Alison Krauss doing this song, too.

I’m anxious to see/hear Kris’ new band tomorrow! So little has been mentioned about who’s actually in the band other than Cale.

LOL at the side-eye comment. That duet was the most mismatched, uncomfortable-looking performance of the season for me. So many things wrong with that – the messed up lyrics, lack of eye contact, lack of chemistry, bizarre-o judges comments. I understand the studio version was much better – I wish now I would have downloaded it.
