American Idol winner plays Vail benefit

Kris Allen, American Idol winner, performed for a crowd of more than five hundred supporters of the American Airlines Celebrity Ski event at The Vail Cascade Resort on Friday night.



The evening then kicked into high gear with the introduction of the evening's musical entertainment — American Idol winner Kris Allen, accompanied by five other stellar musicians. Allen encouraged the crowd to sing along and enticed chuckles with his stories of snowboarding in Vail and earning “battle wounds” of bruises in the process.

The energetic conclusion of the concert brought the audience of more than 500 to its feet at the end, bringing the four guitarists and one drummer back on the stage for a raucous rendition of the Beatles' iconic song “Come Together”.

Anoop on "Let It Be"

OK!’s Idol Roundtable: Anoop & Diana Talk Results!

The top 24 results show also brought back Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta to the stage.

Anoop thought Allison’s performance of “Scars” was, “Brilliant, as always. I wish they wouldn’t have mixed her vocals on TV as if she were a contestant, though.”

As for Kris’ performance of “Let it Be?”

“He is an artist, and he did his thing on that song,” Anoop explains to OK!. “Kris is a huge Beatles fan, so I know it must have been huge for him to sing that and contribute to such a worthwhile cause.”
