So what better time for him to debut his latest triumphant cover song, an acoustic version of David Guetta & Sia's empowerment electro-anthem, "Titanium"? When Kris sings lines like "I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet / You shoot me down, but I won't fall / I am titanium," the lyrics really resonate now.

And the fact that he mashes the song up with the Police's "Every Breath You Take"? Well, that just ups the awesomeness factor, of course...
