"The Climb" is a whiny piece of crap. There is no comparison. ^ This.

Vocal ability aside there is no way No Boundaries (the song) is better than The Climb. imo

I'll take No Boundaries any day....again, the vocals can really make(or break) a song.

Musically, I like No Boundaries better too. Especially the production on Adam's version. And a lot of the melodies on The Climb are lame.

If you were able to pick the Idol coronation song and choose between (lyrics/production) The Climb and No Boundaries I'd hope to God you'd pick The Climb. It's like it's impossible for people to look at the song alone and not the vocalist. It's funny to me that literally days ago everyone was like "OMG, TERRIBLE SONG", "PROBABLY THE CHEESIEST SONG I'VE EVER HEARD", "THIS IS A MESS" and then all of sudden "Omg, I love this, amazing!". Kris may be a good vocalist but he isn't good enough to turn this mess of a song around, for me anyways. Not even Adam could convince me to like this song.

The Climb >>>>>>>>>>>> this. Kris Allen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Han- errr Miley Cyrus ;) Again, not arguing with that, but that doesn't change the fact that this song is trash. ;)

This is certainly no masterpiece. I don't think anyone thinks it is either. I prefer this to "The Climb" any day despite this being just as crappy and cheesy of a song. That is partly due to my sheer dislike for Miley but the song itself doesn't have too many redeeming qualities to it either.
Who cares, though. I really don't expect this to make too much of a dent on the charts. (radio-wise) It will just serve as a placeholder to keep his name out there until his real first single drops.

Thank God this crappy/cheesy song will soon be forgotten; then we can move onto material that's actually worth listening to.

Are they planning a fall-release for Allen's debut album?

I agree with this.
Should be. Unless they want to screw him.

Are they planning a fall-release for Allen's debut album? Probably, although one article said Adam and Kris would release albums late this year or early next. If their label knows what is good for them, they won't wait until early next year to release their albums. That's a death sentence for their careers.

I like Kris Allen better than Miley, but The Climb is a better song than No Boundaries, IMO. Funny. I like Miley better than Kris (at least so far), but I think "No Boundaries" is the better song, though that really is not saying much.

Their post-Idol careers would be very interesting to follow since they're both signed to the same label and management.

How do you know this? I don't think it has been announced yet. And if that's true poor Kris... not a good thing for him.

And then there's also this: Anyone else notice this says RCA next to it on AllAccess under the Cool New Music section? Same with Adam's version. Anyway, this has been #1 on Top Ringtones for awhile btw.

oh dear! Shame on me - I am actually flip-floping about Kris Allen and his coronation song: Its a badly written song that is pure trash but which is redeemed and made kind of listenable somehow by kris' vocal.
And yet on the other hand, I have yet to give my full appproval of his vocals (although I do like his mellow personality but not not his laidbackness which get on my nerve) which is too weak for all-roundedness singing but yet is his impecaable phrasing is commendable...
Urgg......

^ Why make things so complicated? Focus on the positives, if they are enough to convince you buy the song, then buy it The guy already did the best he could with a crappy song. Not like he chose the song himself. The fact that he actually made such a crappy song listenable to you is praise-worthy already, no? :)

Why does this only have half the bars as black eyed peas...I don't get why people like that song!?
I guess as this picks up on radio, it will too.
