No, that’s an old video’ ¦ might be the first time the pee story was told. Caption under the video says:

yeah i remember seeing that video and i think that was one of the very first interviews he did and the first one which i saw! and was stuck by how candid he can be. those were the golden days of discovering kris post idol. sigh

Q: On “American Idol,” the spotlight was always on you and Adam Lambert. Simon Cowell kept trying to set up a rivalry, and now you have albums coming out within a week of each other.

A: That’s the thing-we’re going to go through at least the first part of our careers doing everything back to back. We were on the show throughout the whole time, then we were on the tour, and now we’re coming out with albums. I feel like we’re always going to have this time of our lives, we’re going to share it, and we’re going to be able to go through it together. We know exactly what the other is going through.

Thanks also for the pics and article from the Christmas People mag. Very cool.

For Kris, the college tour circuit, music festivals, and a mix of a few arena shows is what I would want. I’d LOVE for him to do Bonnarroo and Austin City Limits.

kris’s hair looks all rumpled and natural…and they are playing MONOPOLY!!! my second favourite game ever (after pictionary)…probably an early christmas gift from mom i suppose

I just laughed, though, that even though People promoted Kris’ album in the text….the buy for Christmas blurb told peeps to start their own Christmas traditions by rushing out and buying the Sugarland album. Funny that!

I’d say if Kris can build support from the ground up, so to speak, it will tend to be less fickle and more loyal because these people are discovering him for themselves, and making up their own minds about him, regardless of hype.

Are you referring to college students? While you are most likely correct, these are also the sub group of people illegally downloading music. So while it is great that he is amassing a loyal group of followers, he may not see $$ from them for a while. Just recently we had students protesting the state gov. about the increase in tuition. If they can’t pay for tuition, then they sure as heck are not buying music.

That is really cute… like sugar on my oatmeal.

I love that they have Katy in the pic. They make a great looking couple.

“I expected the interview to be longer, so I was sort of disappointed.”

Me too. I want to hear more about his writing process, about each song, each collab!

Like for example, “The Truth“, we got two different take on this song by Kris in Jim’s & Slezak’s interviews

With Jim he was all, “it had to grow on me… it had this jaunty tune in the beggining… had change it up alot…etc”
With Michael, “At first, I didn’t want to touch it, coz it’s that good! And Pat has an incredible voice… etc” (paraphrasing here btw)

Want more!more more!! Kris talking about his 1st CSA live performance! Ppl loved BWCU too, they were subdued during the 1st verse but once Kris hit the chorus – Screaming!!!

His upcoming tour would be all about developing his fanbase, introducing his music to new ppl, so touring colleges with a few big arenas thrown in makes sense.

OMG! Kris Allen reading out his own Sky Mall tweets!!!!!!
“I’m very sneaky!”

OMG Krim Show is A GO!!! PEOPLE!!

JIM!! YOU WIN AT LIFE SFM!!!!

(Already posted I see…. I fail at life SFM)

the Jordin segment was hilarious. Prettty funny stuff with Kris also! Good plug for his album at the end

love love love the picture with the guitar at the top!!!!

Kris is actually getting pretty good reviews from college kids. I read about 5 or so reviews of his album from college campuses and they think his album is one of the best Idol records yet.

You’re right, Starr, I read one yesterday and another one today. I think college reviewers, who aren’t professionals, probably have less of an agenda than some of the critics for the big papers. This kind of support seems more grounded in reality. I’d say if Kris can build support from the ground up, so to speak, it will tend to be less fickle and more loyal because these people are discovering him for themselves, and making up their own minds about him, regardless of hype.

I really liked this interview. It would be nice if he could ever write with Adele.

I liked the Jive guy talking about how Kris will have the ability to win respect from the guys (and moms). However, I also think he’ll earn respect with the college age as well and it’s by no means just a tween thing.

Kris is actually getting pretty good reviews from college kids. I read about 5 or so reviews of his album from college campuses and they think his album is one of the best Idol records yet. I think he should do the college tour thing; his music would really resonate among that crowd. They are also strong buyers on iTunes and CDs, so that would be good for him.

Oh and Tess don’t worry about Kris and his band, for the most part they just got better and better in their appearances. GMA and R&K were very well done! Extremely enjoyable to watch! Conan was the first TV appearance so some struggle there and the MTV one seemed to have some technical difficulties that they couldn’t control. I didn’t watch but from what I understand they adjusted and finished well.:)

thanks Star, that’s a very cute picture of them. Beautiful people!

No, that’s an old video’ ¦ might be the first time the pee story was told. Caption under the video says:

Yep. In fact, I already posted it back sometime during the summer

Gotcha. Like I said, they all run together for me. But still, never want to hear that story again. Ever. I’m odd, sex talk is like whatever for me*shrugs*, but bodily functions and I’m all like TMI!! TIM! shoosh!

So Kris is presenting at the awards show Sunday? But not performing?
Is this new?

No, every year they have people presenting awards. They do that at most award shows. The presenters read out the list of nominees, then they open the envelope and announce who won. Sometimes, there is some scripted banter.

It’s not even new for Idols. They frequently present at the AMAs and other music industry events.

18 people will be performing. Many more will be presenting. That’s quite common.

Kris’s presenting gig was announced a while ago.

Yeah, I don’t know what you mean by “new” so I answered for a bunch of possible “news”.
