So. There's this little tv show called American Idol. And maybe I glanced at it once in, like, fourth season and said, "eh. whatever. Simon's kinda cute but he's also an asshole, and I don't care about anyone else." and then didn't really think about it much. But maybe some people (*cough*![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
astolat*cough*) wrote some fic, so I tuned into the finale of S7 and it was... okay? I guess. And I've liked various random songs and artists that have come out of Idol, though often without knowing that's where they came from.
S8 happened and I wasn't really noticing. Some people had links embedded to a really neat version of Ring of Fire as performed by one Adam Lambert but, while I enjoyed it, it didn't get me into the show.
In my slashy-reading travels, I saw this 'kradam' thing popping up and ignored it for a while. Because I was busy reading other fandoms. Then, and I can't remember how or where, but a few days ago I heard Kris Allen sing.
I still do not have powerful enough words to express how his singing makes me feel.
Have spent much of the last couple of days inhaling this season of Idol. I also have listened to the cd that Kris made a couple of years before Idol ("Brand New Shoes"). Of all the songs I've heard him perform, his Top 3 Heartless is my absolute favorite (gusty, clever, beautifully-arranged and sung. I'm in awe), but I've liked everything I've heard him sing (and outright adored most of it).
I'm so glad that I didn't find out about Kris Allen until after he was already the American Idol, because it looks like being a Kris fan involved many sleepless nights of worry.
But all this means that I'm currently a bit disappointed that I made plans to be out of town on July 5th, not being prescient enough to know that I would fall in love with Kris Allen's music and want to see him on tour. They're even kicking off here!
