  • Kris couldn't even sing "We Are the Champions" by Queen. Couldn't hit the high notes. But Adam sure did.

  • I love his beautiful rendition. So nice to see a singer really sing this song and not think you have to do runs with every other word. Most "artists"make the song about them rather than perform it in the heartfelt way Kris Allen did.
