Week 2(Movie Song)

[Kris Allen]

Title: Go The Distance

Artist: Micheal Bolton

Movie: Hercules

Lyrics:
I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

Reason:

The Reason I Chose this Song was because, When I Was Younger I used to LOVE this movie and I Used to always sing along with THIS Song.
As A Child Growing Up It Taught me how to never give up...
And that I Can Achieve My Wildest Dreams.
This Song Has Been A Huge Part Of My life.
Im Happy I Got A Chance To Sing It For You.. The Audience And The Judges.

Kris....







This was a nice improvement, very nice step up from last week. I have to say good choice in song & it matched your vocals just right! I hope to see you next week.

[Jason Mraz]

I have to disagree with Simon. I thought the song was too big for you. I mean, it was not the right song for you, but the performance was decent.

[Kara DioGuardi]

ahhh!
I liked this, I really did. I love this movie and this song, and I thought you did great justice to the song! It might not be something I'll remember but its a great improvement from last week!

[Kris Allen]

[simon]

Jason, you have to agree though he stepped up from last week

[Jason Mraz]

Yah... he improved this week, but still thinks that it was not the right song for him.

[Kris Allen]

Okay Jason, I Will Try and Improve On How i Pick A Song
Thanks For the Critique

Kris

I think this was definitely a step in the right direction - and if AI had a most improved award, you'd have my vote for it.

I think it may have been too big for you, as you are at your best in a more subdued melody where we can really focus on the vocal cords that God blessed you with.

With this song, you got lost in the orchestration. Know what I mean?

Just tone it down a bit. Work with a performance that is all about the vocal. And I think you can definitely turn this game around in your favor.

I'm pulling for ya!
