Kris Allen Live in Manila : FALLING SLOWLY / WITH OR WITHOUT YOU

Hmmmm.

I knew there was a reason
I really wanted him to win American Idol,

despite the overwhelming charisma/drama of
eventual runner-up Adam Lambert;

a couple of weeks back,
KRIS ALLEN

toured Manila and Cebu,

and the song(s) that completely enraptured
his audience was a mash-up of two modern Irish ballads:

FALLING SLOWLY,
the Oscar-winning song from the film ONCE,

seamlessly merged with

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU,
by those other buskers from Dublin, U2!!!
