Ain't No Sunshine Like Kris.

Kris Allen has been getting raves on the interwebs for this: his perf from last night. Even thefunnystone on VFTW actually had a good thing to say about him. Whereas Professor Chan is a normal, albeit snarky, commentator on that site, thefunnystone is the main guy and he HATES the show. For him to like Kris is a bit of a coup:

Ending the night is monkey boy Kris Allen. He wants to “make a moment” so he plays the piano tonight. I’m immediately distracted by the ugly moustache he has decided to grow. Plus, the monkey faces are still in full effect. But his performance of “Ain’t No Sunshine” is one of the first times this season I’m genuinely impressed by a contestant. The arrangement of the song, which I’m sure he stole from someone, is really clever and well put together. Kris also changes up the flow of the song enough to really personalize it and make his performance stand out. And as always, his vocals are on par. But I’m not bored this week. So good for Kris for having one the first performances I was truly impressed by in a non-VFTW way this season. Kind of sad that it took until the top 9 for me to say that.

Other notes from the results show:

It is so dumb that the producers decided to lip-synch the group numbers during the season the BLIND GUY is on it. Amazing, he's miked, even when he's not singing into the mike.

David Cook plays the guitar lefty.

I can't believe Evil Gokey made fun of Matt's goat vibrato. What a douche. Only semi-anonymous interweb bloggers are allowed to do that. After all, WE'RE the ones putting ourselves out there!
