Kris Allen - "Live Like We're Dying"

Pop music in the 2000's owes so much to American Idol.  The reality show juggernaut introduced the world to so many different artists (remember Clay Aiken?) turning the radio into a non-stop promotional machine for the show and its many artists.  One such artist is Kris Allen.  Allen will forever be known as the guy who beat presumed winner Adam Lambert in the 2009 finale.  Allen's version of The Script's "Live Like We're Dying" turned out to be Allen's biggest post-Idol hit.
