The Fray “Heartless,” Kris Allen Cover of Kanye West “Heartless” (Video)
Just thought I’d put up a comparison of The Fray’s cover of Kanye West’s “Heartless” versus Kris Allen’s American Idol performance of “Heartless.” Check out the videos of The Fray and Kris Allen.
Randy Jackson said he liked Kris Allen’s version of “Heartless” better than both The Fray and the original Kanye West. What did you think?

Awesome job by Kris…I agree with Randy – The Fray’s version is hot (way better than Kanye) BUT…Kris’ rendition is much more fresh and genuine, very clean vocal he turned in. He’s been growing on me for weeks and I’m totally smitten now….this kid will do great no matter how the voting turns out tomorrow OR next week. He’s by far, imo, the most marketable, keeps it fresh, young but stays mainstream enough for the masses.
