Hmm, they took Randy's "pitchy" comment about his uneven performance and assigned it to Matt in the recap.

I certainly won't say no to a chance to seduce a cute Christian kid like Kris into the ways of sin, but I'm sort of baffled by this sudden outpouring
of support for him. He's bland, his performances are actually quite forgettable, and his guitar is more like a prop than an instrument on the show.
He's cute... but that's about it.

Bumping for that wussed-out, even more vanilla than usual interpretation of "disco."

I do like Kris, but I agree. Allison got grief for "slowing it down" but Kris didn't. It was fine, but seemed kind of lifeless. I still think he
should outlast a few people but I wasn't lovin' it.

Kris' appeal is all visual, a product of "the little guy with the big head" proportions that girls and gay !%!@% like so much. When people
compliment Kris on his "subdued vocals" (because his voice is unexceptional) and "stripped down arrangements" (because he makes everything
sound monotone and samey), it brings to mind real estate agents who call a tiny apartment "cozy" or a toilet in the kitchen as "charming".
Non-descript to the max, the snoozy vocals and charisma-free performance makes watching this just killing time. Plus, his goofy faces and cry-singing annoy
the crap out of me.
Face it -- there's only one reason the gaes on the board support Kris, and it has nothing to do with his singing. ETA: it probably has something to do with this:

This isn't about Kris as much as his FANS.
The Adam fans are a crazy lot, but they are very well-behaved, sticking to their home turf with their squees. However, Kris fans on the other hand... it's not here, although there are a few Kris fans that are getting on my tits for insisting that poor wee Kris is being persecuted by the show - HE IS NOT, SO STFU AND STOP TURNING EVERY THREAD INTO A KRIS MOANFEST. What the hell is this? Yaminions 2.0? But my god, on TWoP... the Kris fans are out of control. I enjoy their Grassy Knoll thread for fun, but the last few pages are mostly Kris fans gushing about his microtalent and trying to build him up to be an underdog. Again, STFU. MATT, ANOOP AND LIL ARE IN WORST POSITIONS THAN KRIS, KRIS AND ALLISON ARE NOT VICTIMS, SO STFU WITH THE CONSTANT "OH, HE'LL BE SCREWED! VOTED OUT! WAAAAH!" NONSENSE EVERY FUCKING WEEK. |

I tire of some of the Kris fans as well (particularly that Grassy Knoll thread you mention). But every year one contestant has to inherit the crazy ones. (And
no Sigvold, I probably wouldn't throw him out of bed though I get the feeling he's probably pretty boring there).
Kris fans aside, I thought he was decent last night (and should be here until top 4 at least) BUT I'm generally not a fan of re-arrangements for the sake of re-arrangement. And that's what this one felt like. The song's a power anthem and he turned it into a playful kumbaya sing-along. When I think of a good re-arrangement I think of David Cook making a playful Always Be My Baby into a stalkerish, creepy tune. It worked because the lyrics and arrangment supported that change in message. If Kris had made this some sort of ironic, mournful, desperate song about women who have to prostitute, I'd probably give him more credit for being interestingly creative.

I don't know, Siggy. He's even shorter than Seacrest.

Because he's cute and he's going to marry Adam and Allison, duh.
Blandness triumphs on this show every time. |

Kelly, sweetheart, you shouldn't be in this thread. It's a thread meant for sadistic sodomy of Kris's pure inviolate soul. We metaphorically
castrate him and feed his pea-sized testicles to Danny Gokey's congregation.
And Anoop's penis is clearly bigger than Kris's. |
