    Yeah ratna it is interesting. I still can’t choose a fav but that will probably change once I hear the actual cd. I do have some thoughts though.

    1)Song that has been stuck on repeat in my head: TMHLG. If this song is not on the album I’m going to go sit in the corner and pout.
    2)Song that is really growing on me: Monster. The more I hear it, the more I like it.
    3)First single: I think VOL is the best choice because it is just so “Kris”.
    4)I want all these songs to be on the album. If Kris is holding back any that are better that will just be icing on the cake.

    Have no idea whether VOL will be a hit single – just know it’s probably my least favorite here (don’t like “whoaaas” in any song).  Some of the other songs are really terrific and keep coming back to play them again.  Maybe will like the album version of VOL better.  But OA, BWY, LYA, YGAW, and STD – soooo good.  Will listen again to TMHLG – didn’t grab me at first – but you never know what happens after repeated listenings.  But VOL – didn’t help.  (LOL – watch it sail to the head of the charts.)

    To be honest, I never loved Leave You Alone and I didn’t want it on the album.It just seemed t be missing something but I am so glad he reworked it.It’s just so much better now and I really like it. 
    Teach Me How Love Goes has grown on me. Kris’s voice is really beautiful on it.I agree that it is a song that grows on you.I just don’t want there to be too many slow sad songs on the album.
    While i like Fighters,i really hope it’s not on the album.I think one inspirational song is enough.I just don’t think it fits in with the feel of his other songs and i think critics might say it is cheesy.Vision Of Love,while inspirational,is definitely not cheesy.
    I really do want Out Alive to be the title of the album.It’s short and catchy and intriguing. Plus Kris really loves that song.
    Finally,I want so badly for My Weakness and Parachute to make the cut.

    I always liked Leave You Alone and the added lyrics have made it even better. I too hope Fighters is not on the album, I like it well enough but it is a bit cheesy. I really like Parachute, it has been in my head for days, and My Weakness is pretty good too. Out Alive I was a bit disappointed in when I first heard it because it was not really what I was expecting, but after listening to it a number of times it has really grown on me and i very much enjoy it now.  Overall I am very happy with all the new Kris stuff and it is soooooo good to have a proper show from him after all this time.  Really looking forward to official release dates and to hear more of the writing skills of Kris Allen!

    I am still on Cloud 9 from Kris’ show.  I do not remember Kris saying any of these were going to be on his album. just that they were “new” or “old new”. I cannot wait for the single and album to come out!

    All I kept saying at the show was WOW, WOW and WOW!  You can hear it on several of the videos.  Kris is so AMAZING and his voice is golden-toned.  So glad I could log onto this.  I have been trying for the last 2 years and always had trouble logging on.

    I just so love how he can keep surprising his fans and now some that were never really a fan of his before, that and the way he makes my heart melt when I hear him sing are just two of the main reasons I love him so much, and enjoy him just as much.

    Totally agree on LYA and Fighters (except for the liking Fighters part–I’m just not a fan of that song).  Personal tastes vary, so I know some fans would be disappointed not to have it on the album, but the cheesiness alone is a good reason to exclude it.  VOL >>>>> Fighters

    I agree with you on LYA. Loved it first time but it seemed incomplete to me, now I feel the whole song is there and it’s very good.  About Fighters, i also agree, it’s too cheesy for my taste and i find it a bit generic so for me it’s definitly not a keeper; also it would feel out of place with the rest of the songs we heard imo

    While I do like Fighters, I agree with you that it does seem out of place with all the new music we just heard, and I have it on my I-pod so at least I have it already for my I-Pod. I’ve always loved LYA but with what was added to it makes it even more wonderful. am starting to really start to love TMHLG, and I didn’t hardly like it before, but besides LYA it took me awhile to grow to love Is It Over, which was on the first album and another Cale Co-write.

    I am a very cynical person and I usually hate inspirational songs but I love VOl and I think it is a perfect match for Kris.He sings the song so sincerely and i think people can feel that and will respond to it .Kris personifies the message of this song and if RCA does it job,I think it will do well.

    WOW..What a writer!!!  She sees things in a much wider context than I do…and to read that Kris has his finger on the proverbial pulse is nice to know.  I’m glad the new songs are so good, but my primary interest is in his singing.  And I think in this concert, he reaches the highest level of the integration of all the desirable requisites of great singing of anyone today.

    Yes, I heard your “Wow” several times, even in a hush second ooh-oohs
    part of Better with You. :D
    Me: I was too stunned to be able to utter a word.

    I really hope that non Kris fan will give his music a chance and a listen.
    Kris might change their mind. And go to his concert if he comes near you, because he is incredible -acoustic or with the band, it does not matter.
