When I figured Geeky-Christmas sweaters must = the New Black. (Did not know about Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties until this morning so I guess’ ¦wow COOL!)

Hey, what I learn on this site! The latest in geeky fashion! Sweatergate continues….

I love that Kris is in the so-cool-he-can-be-dorky-camp.

Yep, from these videos I now definitely believe BWCU should b e the next single. Its super radio friendly, it has a slightly different tempo and feel to it than LLWD without being a “slow song” and it translates well to live performance. I can see this being performed on talkshows too as well as intimate settings.

OK, finally seeing videos from last night and am just about to keel over here. Let’s just first say that Kris was totally hot last night, the t-shirt, the moves, the new-found confidence…the whole damn package!! My gawd. Although I am not a huge “Truth” fan, I just loved it. Really great live and I think I liked it rocked up a bit. I am on the fence between CSA and BWCU for next single. Both great songs, and really good live. CSA shows a sexy side to Kris that is to die for, while BWCU really showcases his lower register and WOW. Am I making sense? I am deliriously happy with all these songs. But I have a love affair with AWM too.

Anyhow, thanks to the fans who video all of this. You guys totally rock.

Yeah I just posted about that in The new thread that MJ put up. So freaking hot. I fall more and more in love with IIT the more he plays it live. I think as the more they play TT the better it well get. Buy damm Kris and that white teashirt,is something else. So freaking hot. Can’t wait to see what they do tonight.

Yes, ilovekrisallen39 it’s IIO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RIrEmN5ep8&feature=channel

I love it live, it suits him vocally so much. OMG Andrew, Kris, Cale guitar action FTW! Maybe he can play electric guitar in this one but the song starts as acoustic, so no. It’s OK for now, I can live without Kris’ electric guitar since Andrew and Cale are amazing in that.

Yeah the person that did the video’s were in the front row. The person also got the set list I think Cale gave it to him personally. Also the person got to hear the soundcheck earlier. I really loved CSA and an still teamCSA. The next song there suppose to for us to see from last night should be up soon. I think it’s suppose to be IIO.

Right, So baggy shapeless sweater one night – TIGHT see throught t-shirt the next night…. ICWYDT, Kristopher…
You ain’t got nothing to prove, Kris, even in that fuggly but adorable sweater, we know what you got. Those PECS & Biceps!!!
DAYUM!!!From the nosebleed section, or the last row of ppl, I bet it looked like he was wearing “Nothin’ at all!”, “Nothin’ at all!” “Stupid Sexy Kris Allen!!!”

‘Kris should just close the show’
Cookcriket, I think the person was suggesting that Kris should be headlining these kinda shows, be the last act or performance.

And YAY Diane!!! That’s what I keep saying… CSA’s got universal appeal!!

Here is a better BWCU: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF5ShRhaPVk&feature=player_embedded
also as the video’s title says “Kranoop lives”, lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CV-Um9ci-4&feature=channel

I can’t understand exactly what he says but he definitely gives a shout-out to the hometown boy and I know from the radio interview that he gave earlier that he texted Anoop in order to meet him but unfortunately Anoop wasn’t in the town.

“My observations:

1. Kris looks hot as hell
2. That white T-shirt should be illegal
3. Man boobs
4. Try to survive once you’ve hit the 3:31 mark on that video.”
Sorry, not sure how to add people’s quotes, but Starr I got worried when you wrote this about the man boobs. Just checked it out, those are pecs, not man boobs, believe me!!!

Starr, TY for the videos! ITA with your observations on CSA!!!! What can I say, as much as I love seeing him with his guitar I’m REALLY glad that he doesn’t play it during that song.

For totally different reasons The Truth could be another song where Kris’ guitar isn’t necessary. I’m not talking about instrumentation (I’m no expert in these things) but the song is SO intense anf full of emotion that could be expressed even better without the guitar. (actually I’m having second thoughts on that, I like it that he is rocking out with the others during the instrumental parts, but maybe he could do it with an electric guitar and then Cale could be on the keybords. I really want him to play electric guitar in one song: if this isn’t the one and CSA can’t be for the reasons mentioned above then the only one that is more rocking is From the Ashes, but I don’t think he will do it live any time soon. I just want him to rock on the guitar as he did in Bright Lights on the Idol tour). However he still manages to express everything the song requires with his voice and his face (and I want to cry now, OK not really).
This song it’s definitely a difficult one for Kris (at the end of the song he seems a little exhausted vocally and emotionally) but it’s the first time they perform it and it will get better with practise (just remember how much he has improved in singing LLWD live after all these performances). Guys, next time tone down a little the drums, the bass or whatever, I want to hear Kris’ low notes clearly. Maybe it’s just that the person taking the video was in front of the speakers. We’ll see next time how it goes.
What made me really happy though was that people were singing along!! He definitely had some big fans in tha audience.

Wow – Starr, were you up all night? What a nice surprise to find these awesome videos this morning!

The sound quality isn’t the greatest, but it seems to me like Kris put on some great performances. Agree with all on the white T-shirt!

I love all three of these songs, especially “CSA” and “The Truth” – once the buying public starts to hear more of his singles I know his CD will sell more.

Now I get why Kris has been wearing shirts on his tees. He doesn’t want any trouble of being accused of killing anyone. Gah! those pecs…….. no more words!

I think Kris will play the piano on this song in future. I’m also sure they tried it out to see where they need to fix and I agree with you Starr. This is not a guitar song. That said, I don’t trust some camera sounds. This particular one didn’t have a good sound, not even on CSA. I think we’ll really the real feel when the radio station’s videos are posted.

Here is “The Truth”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZw4jeVbsh4

The drums are a bit loud, but that is to be expected, since the video was taken in pretty close proximity to the stage. I personally think that there wasn’t a need for three guitars; I wish Cale would’ve played the keyboard on this one, because the piano parts really add to the song on the album. But this is the first time they have played it live; I think they will learn from it next time and possibly have Kris’s mic turned up louder to rise above the drums, or have Cale on keyboard to balance out the guitar. Still, I’m happy I get to see this song performed for the first time!

Oh my God That performances for CSA just wow. And Kris should always wear white teashirts. And I think Am going to need a shower after that video. I want CSA as next single if he does that kind of performance again.
