'American Idol' Kris Allen, Lady Antebellum rock 'Hey Jude'
Twitter
Lady Antebellum and "American Idol" fans got a treat in Los Angeles Thursday night (April 15)."Idol" champ Kris Allen hit the Wiltern stage to open for Lady Antebellum and even stuck around to sing with the group.
Allen first did some his own songs, but was invited back for the Beatles classic "Hey Jude."
"Thanks @ladyantebellum for asking me to come sing on Hey Jude last night," Allen tweeted.
It's not the first time Lady Antebellum has been associated with "American Idol." The group also performed "Need You Now" to a thrilled audience at an "Idol" taping Wednesday night.
Check out "Hey Jude":
Allen also rocked out another Beatles tune, "Come Together." No, he didn't bust out a didgeridoo like Crystal Bowersox did, but it's still pretty good.
He also did "Can't Stay Away." The sound on this clip isn't the best, but he shows off his typical Kris Allen energy.
It was announced Thursday that Allen signed a publishing deal with Universal Music Group. This includes his self-titled album and future works. He's in good company. Other "Idol"-UMG signees include David Cook, Chris Daughtry and Jason Castro.

Great chemistry between Lady Antebellum and Kris Allen. I hope he has the chance to open for them again. From all reports, it was an awesome concert.
Kris Allen is really cool in concert, I looking for more appearances.
Wow, that performance of "Come Together" is absolutely pure hotness! WOW! Kris sounds fantastic, and "Hey Jude" is so cool! Way to go Kris, I hope there are more of these concerts. Kris and Lady Antebellum would be so awesome to see!
What a great exposure for Kris Allen to be affiliated with Lady Antebellum. These diverse audience will get to know who Kris Allen is outside of the American Idol bubble. Kris sounds so amazing, and everytime I see him performed, he always takes my breath away!!! Love the Lady Antebellum too... down to earth people. I love You Kris.

Wow! Kris has certainly proven himself to be a class act and an immense talent! His performances and his singing/songwriter are so solid, so fresh & so real!He doesn't seem to seek the spotlight or any hype, just quietly and confidently(yes Simon)does his thing & given these clips-totally entertains and engages his audience.He seems to have great chemistry with all those he works with & you can tell they all genuinely enjoy him. YES-MORE PLEASE....Hey Kris, is your stylist on vaca?You need a haircut man!
Talent recognizes talent. Love Ladyantebellum and Kris Allen.
Kris is so cool. I love Laday Antebellum and love Kris Allen.
Great job
Kris is such a talent!! He can sing, write, ARRANGE, play many instruments, and perform!! He reminds me of a young Paul McCartney! I just love him and Lady Antebellum! I hope he stays the same sweet, unaffected guy I loved on A.I.
Sorry, but I don't see anything fantastic at all with Kris Allen! He bores me to death!! I love Lady Ant they should have given Danny Gokey the opening act!!!
