Love everything Kris sings! Love his voice, his personality, his musical talent, his looks, but I so wish he’d wear something sharp. Hate that plaid shirt! Hate the t-shirts and torn up jeans.

great set Kris! so tasteful! I was kinda sure and am very happy that he’s singing Ain’t No Sunshine, I always believe that this was his breakthrough performance…and my all-time favourite AI performance! =)

Kris is going to be on The Tonight Show with Conan on the 15th of July! I’m so glad he is getting to go back now with Conan as the host!

He didn’t sing anything the last time he was on, with Jay. Wonder if he’ll sing this time and what he’ll sing?

I agree that Kris’s set looks great (with the exception of NB – I’m sorry, Kris!)

But Ain’t no Sunshine is so beautiful, and Heartless is a big crowd pleaser. Hey, Jude just seems perfect for him too.

I for one think it’ll be really interesting to have such a different feel to the Adam set vs the Kris one – with Adam more of an arena rock sound, and Kris more of an intimate sound – both good, and a really great contrast to end the show with!

My Kris must have worked really hard. I’ve never seen more than one zit on his forehead before I’m looking forward to the long version of Ain’t no sunshine coz the AI studio version was so disappointing.

wish there was an MJ song on that list. “Man in the Mirror” especially…

I’ve got all Matchbox 20 CDs, as well as, Tabitha’s Secret and Rob Thomas as a solo artist. I prefer Rob Thomas w/the group. Seeing the lyric sheet for Bright Lights, although not my favorite song, made me happy. I think Kris is versatile vocally (tmDavid Cook), able to sing any genre, but Allenize-ing (tmPaula) it. I, too, like that his music choices are very contemporary and radio-friendly. I grew up with rock — my first album purchase was Alice Cooper’s Schools Out — so not cool according to my guy friends back then. I was young. LOL

Although, I loved Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On whenever I heard it on the radio, being a rocker girl, I never thought to invest in a R&B artist. After Kris sang it, I remembered how much that song moved me and finally bought it. I, also, bought Man in the Mirror, not a fav, but Kris re-introduced me to it, gaining a greater appreciation for it, especially lyrically.

The tour should be well worth the money. (Though, I do think the price of tickets are way too expensive)

Really?! Thanks for that info. Since he went during Jay’s final shows I was worried that he wouldn’t be invited so soon to the show in the Conan Era. I love Kris and I love Conan. So awesome!

I’m really glad to see this here. I had already watched it on Youtube. I WOULD have purchased the Season Pass but for some reason the last iTunes update messed up my account and I can’t buy anything. Need to contact them to fix that!

I’ve had a couple problems w/itunes and they’ve always been helpful through the email service on itunes.

Kris’ set is going to be great. Ain’t No Sunshine hits me every time, especially when the drums come in. Does anyone else think the opening on piano sounds like the opening for ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’?

I’m looking forward to Bright Lights and Hey Jude and I really hope we get some good online videos and hopefully are able to purchase recordings of them.

I stilll wish he was doing Falling Slowly!!! Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

I’m not really that fond of the song Bright Lights. Ain’t No Sunshine and Heartless are both angsty. I was hoping for one sweet love song. Would have settled for To Make You Feel My Love, as well, but Falling Slowly is really my favorite and it’s kind of become his signature song (along with Heartless).

Kris will probably make me like BL, since he’s great at making anything he sings his own. And his re-arrangements are often better than the originals.

Still, as an artist I hope Kris doesn’t go in the direction/style of Rob Thomas. I think Kris is more indie in his style and tastes than that.

Seeing Kris’ set makes me wish I was going to the tour. Oh well, someone take some good video please!
