Kris Allen – Bobby Bones Show – KHFI-FM – Austin TX

Kris Allen called into Bobby Bones’s Austin TX KISS FM show early this morning for an interview.
Maybe he should have stayed in bed.
The DJ’s were sorta asshats–pretty stupid to ask Kris “Is Danny Gokey as big a douche as we think he is?” Like, how is he supposed to respond to that?
And then they misquote Gene Simmons in order to ask about Adam Lambert–No, Simmons didn’t say Adam “crushed” his career by coming out. Kris’s response was pretty much WTF??!?
About the album, Kris says he’s part of the writing process and that hopefully it will come out in November. Finally, good information, but it doesn’t come til near the end. As always, Kris is a super good sport in the face of stupidity…

I thought Kris did well with these jerks. He really does have such a calm way about him that just kind of diffuses things. He’s a cool guy.
As a Danny fan, I appreciate his response to the jerky question about Danny. You could sense his irritation with the dj….”uggh, don’t say that.” This is the second time that Kris has stood up for Danny, and I sense he gets annoyed with the Danny “hate.”
I know that when faced with similar crap that djs have said about Taylor, Elliott Yamin, has not really taken up for Taylor (and I know that Taylor and Elliot are good friends), so yeah, I do appreciate Kris taking that step to say something nice.
Kris really is a nice guy. I wish him the best.
I like Kris, he’s a cutie patootie.
And the DJs were jerks.
But man, that was almost as boring as Gokey on Idolatry!
Yikes.
Kris sounded like he was STILL asleep.
i like the way you think.
poll obviouslly taken by very smart people with great vision
i too was surprised by some of the rankings…thought adam would be higher, but very pleased to see pocket idol at numero uno
who’s the douche now? bones, that’s who!!
Finally some different questions for Kris to answer! Danny and Adam comments were stupid tho’.
Kris sounded like he was still in bed.
Awww, he just had morning voice. Just think…never mind. lol.
Yeah, overall there were some good things, but they had some stupid questions in there.
Kris says so much when he says so little – his low key responses really show the dj’s up for the jerks they are. Kris never loses his cool and is never willing to bus one of his fellow contestants. He is truly and honorable person – HE IS TRULY AN AMERICAN IDOL in SO many ways!!!!
awwww what a nice way to start my day! sleepy me listening to sleepy kris’s voice :happy_tb:
and good for kris! “i’m not a millionaire”……….yet hehe
Thanks Ozarka for reminding me. I think the idols should stay away from stations like that.
Just listened. Kris is great. He’s so easygoing and yet completely puts the end to rude statements like that question about Danny.
I wonder if we’ll get any hints about what he’ll be singing on tour? No Boundaries, Falling Slowly, Heartless, and two others?
I’m so jealous of Adam’s fans who now knows at least 2 songs he’s going to sing on tour. We Kris fans are still clueless about his song choices, except for the disastrous song *sigh*
I disagree. I think it helps remind them that there are douchebags in all walks of life and we learn more about them by the way they respond to the idiocy.
I don’t think there’s any way Kris wouldn’t sing “Heartless”. That’s his signature song from the competition.
In fact, I expect all the top 10 to sing the one song from the show for which they got the most praise and positive reaction. Of course, a few of them didn’t have such well-received performances, so they should probably go with a clean slate.
JLC – which thread (i.e. stating that Gokey is a douche)?
