Last month, Kris Allen participated in a Stageit concert for his fans. Basically this is an interactive concert where fans pay to watch their favorite performers from the comforts of their homes ala their laptops. During this performance, Allen broke out a new cover he'd been working on. I think this is one of my favorite things about the former American Idol winner. He has this amazing ability to reinvent songs like no one else can. This is especially true for the songs he covers by female artists. In the past, he's sung Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and even Rihanna hits, with each rendition more flawless than the last. This time around he took on Ellie Goulding's "Lights". Allen sounds incredible and the song itself sounds better than it ever has. Oh Kris Allen, you are definitely the most underrated singer in the business today. Don't believe us? Listen to Allen's cover of "Lights" below:
