"American Idol" winner Kris Allen opened the new year in an unfortunate way Tuesday. According to Allen, much of the day was spent in the emergency room due to a head on car accident.

Kris Allen, winner of "American Idol," is no longer signed to RCA Records. According to THR, the season eight winner that beat Adam Lambert to win the title parted ways with the label after sales of his last album failed to match or exceed his debut.

Kris Allen releases the brand new music video for his latest single "The Vision of Love". The Lenny Bass-directed video creates awareness around bullying and self-esteem issues as it follows several young people around.
