Kris Allen Comes Back To Conway Arkansas

Filed under: General 

Big day for us here in Conway Arkansas…Kris Allen is coming back home!

One of this year’s top 3 finalists in the American Idol contest, Kris Allen, is coming back for a whirlwind visit. I’m not sure that Kris was actually born and raised in Conway, but this is the town he calls home when not in LA performing for Idol. He will be performing a few songs at Simon Park in Conway this afternoon/evening. Get out and watch him if you get a chance!

We’re all proud of Kris and hope he continues his success on American Idol & beyond!

    7. I’m surprised that 3 men all made the final three for the 1st time. My wife is pulling for Kris big time. I’m kinda on the fence right now.

    10. It’s a lot of fun when that show gets some “home cooking” going on. Last year’s winner David Cook was from Blue Springs, Mo. near my hometown.

    20. I might be in this situation soon, and given the information I’ve found online so far, it seems there isn’t much to do in Conway. Any ideas?

  20. rundll error on Fri, 22nd May 2009 3:17 pm

    21. Congratulations on his victory. That was quite the upset, but he certainly earned it with his last couple performances.

    23. I’m a mother and a devout Christian, too. As TV viewer, I recognize that American Idol is a singing talent contest open to all, regardless of personal orientations or religion. It is not supposed to be a popularity contest for a certain class of persons. Among all of Season 8’s contenders, Adam Lambert is the amazing artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. America’s vote for Kris, or its vote against Adam, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against that portion of America that Adam stands for. ADAM LAMBERT DESERVED TO WIN. Even Kris Allen himself knows this in his Christian heart, so much so that as soon as he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved crown, he openly admitted in public that “Adam deserves this…” — righteously adhering to glaring truth and instinctively repudiating ridiculous vote results that were surely far apart from truth. Adam Lambert is the true winner!

  24. A. Lambe on Tue, 26th May 2009 8:00 pm

    25. I’m a devout Christian and mother of two music-loving boys, and I must ask: What is wrong with America? America’s vote for Kris Allen, or America’s vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a hate vote against the various sectors of society that Adam appears to stand for. People lost respect of the fact that American Idol is a singing talent competition that’s open to all, regardless of being straight or gay, Christian or Jewish, middle-class or lower-class; and voters forgot that it is not a popularity contest for class of persons — neither a battle for political leadership, not a crusade for for religious revival, nor a media technology war game. In Season 8, Kris demonstrated that he is a talented musician and a progressively outstanding vocalist; but Adam consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative vocal artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. Adam deserved to win. Even Kris knows this within his Christian heart, so much so that when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved title, he became perplexed and asserted in open public that “Adam deserves this. I’m sorry…” – instinctively repudiating the unbelievable subsuming vote results in righteous adherence to the glaring truth. You could actually count so many seconds before the visibly bewildered Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place a brotherly arm around his room mate’s shoulder in a gesture of encouragement. Adam Lambert is the true winner. In addition, I should also ask: What is wrong with Fox’s American Idol, anyway?

  25. Chris on Tue, 26th May 2009 10:54 pm

    26. A. Lambe,

    Wow…you use a lot of big words when you write. I had to dig out the dictionary to follow along! But I’ve been told I’m a little sloooow…

    Both finalists seem content with the outcome. You can read more from both of them in this article, h t t p://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/23/larry.king.idol.finalists/?iref=mpstoryview

    It’s almost as though you’re “blaming” Kris for winning? He just got up on stage, played and sang. America voted. It’s not like he paid off the judges?

    Kris is a very talented artist as is Adam. If you don’t like how the vote turned out, you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. But I don’t think it’s fair to make statements like, “handed the undeserved title”. There were two different styles onstage and maybe more Americans liked Kris’ style? I don’t think thats so hard to believe?

    Anyway…it’s done…it’s over…can’t be changed. It would be nice if people could just be happy for the winner and allow them to enjoy their accomplishments.

    29. Kris was good but i reckon Adam had the edge. Just by a bit but neverless it was a deserved win by Kris.

    30. Go Kris!

  30. Kimber Accessories on Fri, 29th May 2009 6:24 pm

    31. I’m really glad Kris won! Adam Lambert was just too weird for me. He works well singing Kiss and other old stuff but I can’t see him putting out anything that I would like.

  31. Teo Watchmaker on Sun, 31st May 2009 4:59 pm

    36. Pretty sure I missed this when we were shooting the TV with potato guns. Seriously does anyone stil watch idol? I think the numbers is off quite a bit but they pay off the neilson ratings so they can charge a bunch to the ad guys.

    125. Chris Allen is one of my favorite American Idol winners of all time. I actually like Adam Lambert too…he’s up there and really enjoyed the friendly rivallry between the two. The last series of American Idol was so dull in comparison. Even Simon Cowell was phoning in his performance. Wonder how american idol will be in the post-Simon era…
