Kris Allen brought the house down with his acoustic version of “She Works Hard for the Money.” It was Donna Summer by way of Jason Mraz! The arrangement was awesome and he has really matured as an artist.

Kara: “You took a real risk with that arrangement…and it paid off big time.”

Paula: “It had a classy Santana feel to it…you shopped and found a perfect fit.”

Simon: “It was original…that was not karaoke. It was fantastic.”

Randy: “You are ready for the big time.”

Here’s the video of Kris Allen singing She Works Hard for the Money on American Idol April 21:

    Wow, Kris is growing right before our eyes. I loved that he changed a song and made it his own. He just wows we every week. My favorites are Kris, Adam and Allison.

    Kris was sizzling hot and gave Adam a run for his money tonight!!! Love Kris and Adam. Allison was also hot tonight! These are the TOP 3 folks. Danny is being pushed down to 4th for me. LOL

    I'm a working mother of two boys and a devout Christian, too. And I ask: What is wrong with America? TV viewers recognize American Idol as a singing talent contest open to all, regardless of orientation or religion. It is not a popularity contest among class of persons. In Season 8, Adam Lambert consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. America's vote for Kris Allen, or America's vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against various sectors of society that Adam Lambert appears to stand for. ADAM LAMBERT DESERVED TO WIN. Even Kris knows this within his Christian heart, so much so that when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved crown, he got astonished and then asserted in open public that “Adam deserves this…” — in righteous adherence to glaring truth and instinctive repudiation of the unbelievable subsuming vote results. You could count many seconds before perplexed Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place his arm around Kris’ shoulder in encouragement. Adam Lambert is the true winner. On the other hand, should I instead ask… What is wrong with this American Idol TV Show?
