ARTICLES
“No Boundaries,” co-written by new “Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi, was expressly written for the winner to sing this year on the show’s finale. In years’ past, specially written victory songs have gone on to become best-sellers. Kelly Clarkson’s first million seller was “A Moment Like This,” which was written for the final episode.
But “No Boundaries” was reportedly getting such a poor audience response during the concert that, without comment, Allen was told to find a new song to replace it.
‘Idol’ performers adjusting to life on tour By Leigh Grogan
• Kris Allen: This year’s winner, Allen, 24, says the tour (just a week old) has “been everything I thought – and more.”
“The venues are bigger than performing in Hollywood, so it’s great coming out on stage.” In fact, his wife, Katy, got to see her first show in Sacramento.
On Michael Jackson’s death, which occurred right before the tour started: “We were told about his passing and that Fox was going to re-air the show where we performed his music (in the competition.) For me, I felt honored to sing one of his songs on national TV.”
On having four judges this season: “Kara (DioGuardi) put a different spin on it, and she’s very respected in the music industry. It also made for good TV.”
What’s next?: “I’m working hard on my debut album too, co-writing a lot of the material. The goal is to have it out before Thanksgiving.”
