'NO BOUNDARIES' DELETED FROM IDOL TOUR SET LIST

The Kara DioGuardi written "No Boundaries" has been removed from American Idol Kris Allen's list of songs performed on the American Idol tour. Instead, Allen is singing Killer's "All These Things That I've Done." And fans say they like set list change.

Allen told MTV that he likes the DioGuardi penned song, but it simply did not work well with other songs on the set list.

"We were talking to the tour director and stuff," he explained, "and it kinda just didn't work with the set."

But Idol contestant Scott MacIntyre told eonline, "What I hear from people here was that they could tell the audiences weren't connecting to it. When I listen from backstage, I thought it was a good song, and I thought that Kris did it well, and it was even better than during the finale. He was really jiving with it, but it was an executive decision that he and the producers made based on the energy from the crowd. There are mixed emotions about that song because obviously it's still being pushed, so you kind of expect to hear it on the tour."

Fans and critics were describing "No Boundaries" as "sticking out" among Allen's five-song set list, reported MTV. Among his performances are fan favorite during the Idol competition, Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine," along with Kayne West's "Heartless" and the Beatles' "Hey Jude."

Allen told MTV that he noticed a positive difference in the audience's reaction to the song change. "Obviously, adding the Killers song was a, you know, boost in the energy," Allen said.
From the unveiling of "No Boundaries" through to the early tour concerts, though, it seems that many fans simply did not care very much for the song. MTV quoted some Idol fans who said that they were pleased with the song switch.

"I'm so glad that Kris took 'No Boundaries' out of the show," said Allison Beal of Sacramento, California. "There are so many great songs, and it wasn't fair that he had to sing that one. It's okay, but just not a really great song."

And Peter Hunt, also from Sacramento, agreed, "I think that I like anything that Kris sings, but, personally, I just didn't care that much for 'No Boundaries.'"
