Kris Allen and Adam Lambert on the Today Show
Kris Allen and Adam Lambert stopped by the Today Show this morning for an interview and performances. They addressed the AT&T power-voting controversy–Adam said there’s no conspiracy, and that everyone needs to “calm down.”
Afterward, Kris performed “Heartless” and “No Boundaries.” Adam performed “Mad World.” Plus, in the 4th hour, Kris, Adam and Rickey Minor were interviewed by Kathie Lee and Hoda.

Finally got to hear these performances from the show – Adam sounded amazing! And you could just sense the emotional connection with the audience – that was just really great to see – people mouthing the words, really connecting to him.
As for Heartless, idk, I’m obviously biased, but I just can’t get into that one as much. Mad World is just so much deeper and more moving, and Adam’s voice is so exquisitely beautiful on it. Heartless, to me, is just kind of there. But Kris did a good job too.
Interview was kind of boring, and short, but it was nice to see Kris talking more during it. Adam seemed to stay more on the sidelines for it, probably on purpose to let Kris shine more.
Thanks for posting, MJ. I missed most of this this morning. I loved both guys in interview. Kris has been great in interview with and without Adam and Adam as expected was also great. Neither of them needs the other to be personable and in every way charming, but they are both cuter together. I am looking forward to concert and No Boundaries definitely doesn’t have to be the last song. Cookie sang Billie Jean as his last song. I suspect Kris will sing Ain’t No Sunshine, No Boundaries, Heartless, Falling Slowly and I don’t know what else. i actually loved everything he sang this year so whatever will be just fine with me. He has earned the right to be last and should be last. Adam will be great regardless of where his songs fall lin the program and I highly doubt than anyone would be leaving after Adam sings. They usually do a group number at the very end and it is so much fun to see them all interact with each other. It would be a shame to miss that whether you are a Kris fan or not. I agree with the earlier poster that it would be fun to have some duets or other combinations of singers this tour. I missed that last season.
I don’t think Kris has to worry about Adam over shadowing him in the least. They are just very different. I think Adam sings Mad World because it is one of those that sounds good with just a piano to accompany him. He doesn’t play instruments himself and AI didn’t send out an entire band on this press junket with them. Mad World was one of his most acclaimed songs. I’m glad Kris is getting to sing Heartless and not just No Boundaries alone. He has to promote NB for 19, but Heartless promotes him as an entertainer and he has been knocking it out of the park.
I have never enjoyed AI as much as I have this year…Kradam is what kept me watching…Adam is amazing and I cannot get enough of Kris’s Sexy voice….
For the fist time I didn’t care who won because I knew they would both have great careers….I am in my early 30’s and I will be going to see them on the AI tour (is that crazy for a 30 something year old to want to see them?) …I don’t care who closes the show but I have to admit it would be great if Kradam did close the show with the song they did in the last Ford video…I loved it…
The performers typically do meet and greets after the show with those people with tickets to the meet and greet before they come out to sign autographs for other fans. People have plenty of time to line up outside for autographs after the concert is over. There isn’t any real need to be rude and leave early. I think the people who said Kris bores them and at least they can leave early might not actually do it when the concert is actually happening because it really is a lot of fun. I didn’t see any Archie fans cutting out after Archie and before David Cook took the stage. Too much Mavid fun after Cook’s set. They always try to have something really great to close the entire show that will be of interest to all of the fans, not just fans of the winner.
I really want a Kradam moment on tour also, but a new song. Kris is not Adam’s backup musician.Don’t even mind the idea of Kris playing while he and Adam sing, but not playing one of Adam’s songs. Just my 2 cents.
ShariG: If you don’t mind my asking, I’ve bought a ticket to the concert, but how does a person buy tickets to the meet and greet? Also, what was the “Mavid fun”?
This is exactly what was happening when Kris was singing No Boundaries, also.
It was sweet to see all the kids mouthing the words along with him. Despite what I’ve read here I didn’t see or hear that Kris had less of an audience response or fewer cheers than Adam, and I’ve watched this stuff a couple of times.
I think he also sings it because it’s his hit song at the moment, it’s the song of his that’s highest on the charts.
I don’t want Kris playing backup guitar for Adam. They both deserve their time to shine on stage. However, a duet would be nice. I also don’t think there will be any problems for Adam regardless of what area of the country they are in. I would hope that people aren’t that nuts. And, if they are, they should just stay home.
ahh i love kris’ facial expressions. especially that last one after the interviewer suggested a nail saloon person.
MJ, have you seen this?

Adam talked to Access Hollywood about the Clay Aiken fiasco. LMAO at his answer, Adam-1 Clay-0
Yes, ‘archieallen’ Adam-1 and Clay-zippo. He said something similiar re: Clay’s blog on a morning show radio, Scott and Todd, I think?? MJ posted a thread, it was about 1:30 in the interview (that’s totally from memory, don’t hold me to it.) GREAT ANSWER. I love the 2 thumbs up in the Access vid!!
Today Show performances and interview — Love KRADAM, I told myself I wouldn’t get emotionally invested in this season after I went crazy for Cookie last yr. (Still am
) But, I am just eating up these interviews, I can’t get enough!! Kris and Adam were both amazing and fun to watch.
Keep it up MJ!! We love all your hard work!!
Kris Adam = CUTENESS!!!
I love seeing the guys together doing interviews. They’re awesome separately but they’re AWESOME together. I hope we get another duet during the Idol tour. Or do I have to start bribing people?
And Adam gets an A for dissing Clay. Clay was totally asking for it.
I heard from a Kris fansite that he did have fans and a good crowd Ross. I also didnt get why people said that Adam had a bigger crowd on here.I heard they
both have crowds of fans.People were singing with Kris and thats a clue.
On the show, it wasn’t really clear to me how good of a guitar player Kris is, but when I saw his impromptu performance of Come Together during his Arkansas visit (it was in one of those radio stations, I think)… I thought that he really has some mad guitar skills. Check out that video.
Speaking of the tour – anyone know about actually meeting them after the show? Is it total pandemonium? Not really possible? Only possible if you have the meet and greets? Every year I tell myself I want to meet them, but I always chicken out at the end
Not to mention, I wasted 2 hrs at 1am in a bad part of town after Daughtry performed, only to have him rush by with hardly a nod
Kind of a let down.
haha PRICELESS!!! =D
Sorry if this has already been posted…..Susan Boyle came in 2nd in BGT.
Never heard of the group who won. Only that it was a group and I have no idea what they do as that group. lol.
