Kanye West Congratulates Kris Allen For ‘Heartless’

Any of you watch American Idol this season? The winner of the show was the very shy Kris Allen from Conway, Arkansas. Well, his version was impressive. After finishing, judge Simon Cowell said that his rendition was better than the original. I don’t think Kanye West was insulted by the comment because after the season ended he called to congratulate him on his win and rendition of his song.

No word yet if the two are going to try and make a song together but it might be in the works.

Listen to Kris Allen’s studio version of “Heartless” after the jump…
