ETA: I failed at embedding these videos! It should be fixed as much as possible now.
Now for some of Kris's best performances! Unfortunately the actual videos are always taken down quickly from YouTube and the official videos don't work outside the US, so these are just sound, but here ya go!
Ain't No Sunshine - Performed as his reprise song on the finale, and I think it won the competition for him. (This video has the random intro stuff in the beginning and the judges at the end, but this was the best quality I could find). Ugh! I can't find a good quality vid that will embed, so I'm just gonna link you to the video. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5111622/13554355
Heartless - Top 3 night, Kris completely reworked this Kanye West hip-hop song into a cool acoustic number. (again with the intro and judges, but it's worth it to get Kris's pretty face in good quality) This was actually where Kris became a front runner. Everyone was expecting him to go home that night, but he came out swinging! Again, I'm just gonna link to the vid here. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5058940/13441495
She Works Hard for the Money - On Disco Night, Kris made this Disco anthem into a really chill song with a bit fo a Latin vibe.
Finally, Kris rocked out on this duet of "Kiss a Girl" with Keith Urban last night. I don't even like country music and I loved this!
Ahem. And if Kris managed to pique your interest after that, he has an album of songs that he wrote and recorded independently before Idol that you can download here. I think it's a great album and it's been my jam for the past few weeks.
