Kris Allen is a grower. For me he was a bit of a non runner during the early weeks of American Idol but since the halfway mark he has really stood out from the crowd and impressed me with his versatile performances.

Tonight Kris sang ‘Together’ by the Beatles and at first I cringed at the thought of his song choice but actually in the end I think he made the perfect call.

Kara thought it was a little lame but I disagree. It was soft rock, in fact rock is a bit of an over statement but he was so confident and competent and it is so refreshing to see someone playing their own instrument and possessing real musical talent.

In the words of Mr Cowell……loved it!
