We didn't expect Kris Allen to be so chill, but he was-- before the show, he relaxed at the Biergarten with his friends and crew and enjoyed a cold beer from the bar. What else do you do when you're visiting Fort Collins?

 

His fans had been gathering all day long, so when he finally took the stage the crowd was excited and pumped up for the music.

Allen won season 8 of American Idol, and played a ton of original songs that his audience knew word-for-word including his hit singles Live Like We're Dying and Waves.  When he broke out a Chris Isaak cover-- Wicked Game-- the crowd went wild, and he went on to cover Ray Charles and--you guessed it-- Kanye West.

Apparently, Goldberg convinced him to play the song he's most known for from American Idol-- Heartless.  Thank goodness he did!

See all the photos from the show in the gallery below, including meet and greets. Thank you to Kris Allen for coming down and playing for us, and thank you to the Biergarten for always being so accommodating!
