Kris Allen: Predict His Future

Kris's future may lie in the hands of his fans. Will he be a superstar? Will he fade into oblivion? What does Kris Allen's future hold? What do you predict?

Early commentary about Kris as the new American Idol seems to indicate a lack of confidence in his talent and his ability to become a star, especially in relation to Adam Lambert. Adam was thought to be the obvious Idol, but those who voted proved their devotion to Kris Allen, and Adam Lambert came in second. Given those circumstances and what you know about Kris, what do you predict about his future?

Susan52 predicts:

I predict that Kris's fan base will remain loyal and that the entertainment industry, who seems to doubt him now, will come to recognize his great talent.

rico predicts:

He is going no where just not interesting enough good club singer but that is all he never should have won.

hotdaldalero predicts:

wow an idol

Cash_Flow predicts:

Kris is so great.. a very great man.. he will achieve all his goals for he love God and put God the center of his life.. i truly admire him :)

SianLindemann predicts:

With Kris' obvious "heart" for music, obvious humility, and extreme talent, he'll rise to the top like a shooting star ~ Sian Lindemann ~ Executive Director, Sian Design, Artist Management

baehrjrb predicts:

He is definitely going to do well. He has put God first, so all things are possible! Congrats!

northwestmarketplace predicts:

From all indications God is in control of Kris's future. His future will prosper because Kris gives God the credit for his success.Hasn't he been blessed so far?

5starbaby-com predicts:

Kris could really shape the music scene for a while.

Emir predicts:

I wasn't even thinking he was making enough of a splash as an American Idol until the final weeks, I was thinking it was going to be a different top 3 at first. But then he really blew me away when he did his first song in the finally against Adam Lambert. I thought he totally destroyed Adam with the emotional content and delivery of his first song. This was going to be a true battle. And Chris definitely stole round One. Adam did come back in round Two but the strength of Chris round One song was so powerful I still felt I should vote for Chris. I waited for round three but they were both about even on that one and the round One song really stood out enough to make me believe he was going to be a much more powerful artist so I had to give it to him. If he continues along that path he should do well. It all comes down to who he hooks up with on production though and what direction he decides to go down. But he's definitely a great artist. - DJ Emir mixtapes
