I was looking forward to seeing him sing live on television again and was not at all disappointed. A capella, pure, hitting every note right on pitch. I just love the kid, plus he looked confident and in complete control. I think he is going to surprise all of us with his poise as a performer. Kris did such a great job on the National Anthem.

And what's more, they are putting MJ to <em>way</em> too much work constantly putting out fires. As punishment, I think those posters should be restricted to posting ONLY in the SPEIDI thread ... for a term to be decided by MJ. Just a suggestion.

Can't wait. Kris is an athlete, so he is going to be as star struck as David Cook was last year to sing in front of that group, but he is going to be great. It will be great to hear him sing live again. So glad that it will be Kris singing the National Anthem in his pure, genuine way and not Adam making a production out of it in his showboat way. I much prefer Kris's style. Looking forward to it. Well that will be at least a few minutes of the NBA finals that I’ll watch. Can’t wait.
