Arkansas' own American Idol Kris Allen performed live the Saline Summer Daze 2010 Saturday night. The concert kicks off his upcoming summer tour. FOX16's Donna Terrell, Kevin Kelly and Jeff Baskin introduced the home town favorite.

The Conway favorite sang the Michael Jackson song "Man in the Mirror", the Beatles' song "Come Together" and Allen's own hit "Falling Slowly". Allen also sang his new single release "The Truth" to several thousands fans at an open air concert in Benton.

The season 8 American Idol winner says he still hasn't gotten used to his fame after winning last year. He hasn't started working on a new album, but plans to do so soon.

He also tells FOX16, he and his wife have moved back to Arkansas.

FOX16 Idol Minds Name Game grand prize winner, Cheryl Calendar, and her 15-year-old daughter, Brianna Green, got front row seats to the concert and got to meet Kris Allen in person. Click to see photos of Cheryl, Brianna and Kris, as well as other concert photos.

Living in Benton instead of Little Rock is a dream I will never experience. I am so happy I have a grandaughter raising her two boys there. The fairs and/or events at the courthouse and the park provide priceless memories for children, whereas the events in Little Rock are madhouses with a lot of rude crude people. Please don't change Benton, just keep having nostalgic activities there. I sent a letter to the Planning Committee about moving the State fair there. Bad Idea. You don't want to invite that crowd to your safe, wonderful town. I love Benton.
