Kris Allen Showcase @ The Gardens, KL Malaysia
That’s right, the winner of American Idol Season 8 was here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a showcase 1 week prior to CNY..
Interesting fact about Kris Allen is that he’s the first Idol winner to perform in Malaysia..David Archuleta is not counted because he is not the winner..He’s a runner-up..
It sure is special because the to go to the showcase, it’s by invitation only, no money can buy..Many thanks to STAR World and Sony Music again..
If you didn’t know yet, he was here to promote his latest album, titled Kris Allen..
And boy I’m glad I was the lucky few to be able to stand closer to the stage as compared to few hundreds of others..

*The early birds*
These are the people of VIP, media, and winners of Kris Allen contests..Almost everyone was pushing their way as near to the stage as possible..

*The opening hosts, JJ and Ean of Hitz.fm*
JJ and Ean of Hitz.fm were the hosts of the night with their funny and crazy antics..
Roughly at about 9pm, sound-check was done and the band who played for Kris Allen came out to get ready, followed by Kris Allen himself..

*Kris Allen*
He did a few covers with a bit of jazzy rhythm to it..

*Framed*
Not like I didn’t expect things like screamings and shoutings from teenage girls and/or kids, but they really rocked the house down..
I was almost deafened when I was walking around near to the crowd..
Well I guess I’ve done enough of talking..More photos after the jump..

*Kris Allen #1*
He’s pretty good! I didn’t expect I would enjoy to his type of music but his showmanship was awesome..

*Kris Allen #2*
Taking photos was good too..The lighting was awesome, didn’t use flash-gun for most of the time..

*Kris Allen #3*
You are indeed #1, numero uno..

*Kris Allen #4*
He definitely melts a lot of females’ hearts with his sentimental and emotional expression and passion towards his songs..

*Kris Allen #5*
One of my favourite photos..

*Kris Alen #6*
Kris Allen is very natural with his happy-go-lucky attitude that it amazed the crowd even more when he sang with full energy..

*Kris Allen #7*
He did a little of crowd surfing when he throw his body on his fans, but he didn’t move around the crowd..
Kris Allen finished off with a cover of The Beatles’s Come Together..

*May Zhee and friend*
Bumped into Mayzhee and she dressed as Pebbles of Flinstones wtf..I have no idea..
Now I’m hoping that Kris Allen will be back in town for a true concert so that more fans could attend it and have fun!

David Archuleta is definitely one of the best singer in American Idol.”.
[...] I’ve got CDs like Kasabian and Chris Brown from Sony Music Malaysia Facebook Fanpage, and also showcase passes to Kris Allen’s Showcase @The Gardens.. [...]
David Archuleta is great but for me, the best is still Kelly Clarkson*~;
David Archuleta has a great voice but i do think that it is not the best voice,;.
