wtf…she works hard for the money for kris? umm falling slowly , aint no sunshine??? helllllllllooooo….again, the producers are just dumb. next
Of all of the songs from the season to choose from for Adam, why would they choose that song? The same song as Kris on the same Adam. I think that is a little crazy.
oh hell
what?? is this just the same stuff that was on itunes? and why is there the tragic no boundaries on there twice? for twice the torture? hehe
Why not something that rocked a little harder for Allison, like “Hot Stuff?”
Could they make this CD any more boring? Hard to imagine. Mainly slow songs, and a double helping of “No Boundaries” (ugh!). I like Adam, Kris and Allison, but sorry, I’m not buying this. I’ll wait for their solo albums to come out.
Wow you couldn’t pay me to buy this CD. I hope Adam’s and Kris’s real debuts aren’t as awful and boring. Though Kris’s will still have No Boundaries, won’t it. Shucks.
Um, Gokey looks like a creeper.
They shouldn’t have Adam on twice – and definitely not singing No Boundaries. The artists or judges don’t even like the song in the first place so how did it wind up being twice on there! Also, I wish Megan could have sung her audition song. Walking after Midnight? paleeeze! I was hoping that Kris could’ve had falling slowly on this one as well…
Pass. That’s why we have iTunes and cd burners. I have a hard time imagining them making a lot of money off of this cd.
did they make one of these for last year? i dont they did…why not??
and these song choices sucked ass. Matt giraud’s “human nature”?? why not “so small” or something? and Kris’ “she works hard for the money”?? they shouldvechosen “falling slowly”
Geez…..Matt had a lot better songs than Human Nature. And both versions of “No Boundaries”….yuck. Kris and Adam deserve better! At least they gave them a second song. I wouldn’t waste my money on this.
Definitely will not waste money on this. I already have KRADAM’s albums from iTunes, and these songs aren’t even the best choices for the season. And, No Boundaries TWICE? No thanks.
Oh geez…both version of the crappy coronation song?
I think I’ll save my pennies to buy Kris’ and Adam’s (and Allison’s) debuts. Cool news on that front today. We’ve already seen stuff on who Adam’s working with, now finally some news on Kris’ collaborators.
“I’ve been writing a lot with a lot of different people, and it’s going well,” Allen says. In fact, he’s been working with some of the top songwriters and producers, including David Hodges (Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry), Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Winehouse) and Claude Kelly (Akon, Leona Lewis). Allen also hit Timbaland’s studio in Virginia Beach to work with Joe King of the Fray.
While Allen has been experimenting with some urban-influenced styles, he’s honing the material for the album in a John Mayer/Jason Mraz direction.”

Ugh. Just ugh. No will buy.
I agree w/ everyone else, I am saving my money for Kradison’s albums in the fall.
