The only real misstep was Kris not picking up on the helpfully leading question from the guy in Detroit, he was inviting Kris to talk about *writing* songs on the album.

I don’t watch too many of these things, I’m in awe at the satellite delay.

“I don’t really have a best friend…
(Kris looks sideways as someone prompts something off camera. Then)
“My wife and I are pretty good friends”
(leans forward)
“Best Friends.”
LOL!!! OMG How PRESH IS HE!!! He’s JUST NOT REAL!!
It’s Kris Allen Day! Enjoy MFs!!!!! (Oooh i’m just bursting with JOY RN!)

i seem to have missed out what happened at the ontd_ai thread. anything dramatic happened?

Jim C. created an LJ account and made a post. In appreciation for ONTD_AI’s appreciation of him, he gave a preview of his interview with Kris which I think will be available tomorrow. He made it quite clear what he meant in his tweet today about Kris being “awesomely honest”. I think it should be a very interesting interview.

Kris’s appearance schedule for this week includes: It’s On with Alexa Chung, Good Morning America, Live with Regis and Kelly, and VH1 Top 20 Countdown.

any idea when these are happening? good morning america is tomorrow right? and the others?

i liked the detroit interview. the interviewer came accross as a rational kris allen fan but hey, maybe i’m seeing it through a kris-biased view point. hehe and i cant seem to access the phil interview but judging from the comments, maybe thats a good thing.

Jim deleted his post and account. He did seem a bit creeped out, but no one on the com seemed worried about it. It’s nice to see AI fans react rationally. I don’t doubt someone capped it.

The tidbits looked good. Kris really is one of those guys genuine enough that he can be brutally honest and still come across like a nice guy.

Does it come out tomorrow?

Fans of acoustic!Kris are also going to want to watch for the interview.

Maybe they will release the acoustic versions of the songs to be recorded during the AOL sessions in Itunes????

ontd_ai mods must have deleted the thread

off to watch the vids and read comments

Does anyone know when Kris’ album will be available on itunes? Should I stay up until midnight?

I’m thinking it will be available at midnight!!

Very proud of Kris here too!!!! I love that I can believe anything he says and that is “REAL”, just like him!!!:)

@JiveMusic Just hours away from the 2009 American Idol Kris Allen’s debut release! Let the countdown begin. Album available everywhere tomorrow!

Nothing yet from @19News

Jim promised a ‘crumb’ in the morning and a ‘feast’ in the afternoon

He’s such a big tease. Kris must like him plenty to open up like that with him

Going to bed. Big day tomorrow

The ontd_ai thread is locked

I figured it would be soon enough – that’s why I linked instead of copy/pasted (out of respect for their right to keep it private).

Earlier today, I was all good with possibly having to wait a couple days for this interview, since there was so much out there to digest in the meantime. But now I am anxiously waiting for the morning. In an earlier tweet, Jim promised a ‘crumb’ in the morning and a ‘feast’ in the afternoon.

The ontd_ai thread is locked. But suffice it to say, it sounds like it’s gonna be an epic interview with a VERY honest…and not always happy…Kris, Cannot wait!

If they end up locking it later and you can’t see it ‘“ let me just say that I can’t wait for this interview tomorrow.

oh, i was able to read it. Who knew? Like you, i can’t wait to see this interview. No more comment for now..

ETA: OK, that makes NO sense now, but I was actually replying to the comment about Kris selling ice to eskimos. I CANNOT figure out the timeline of these comments!

Never mind!

I’m not really sure how to handle sharing the detail – but for now, the post is open – if it stays that way, this link should give you all the detail: http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_ai/3004301.html?thread=1041393805#t1041393805

If they end up locking it later and you can’t see it – let me just say that I can’t wait for this interview tomorrow.

I know how you feel. I thought he was a cute kid and loved his reaction to making Top 13, but that’s it. When he sang “How Sweet It Is” I started to take more notice and by the following week he did ANS and that was it – he had my attention from that point forward.

AI has a new interview up on the front page for our watching pleasure – he explains the bracelets he wears.

He’s cute as a button, but man, he is inarticulate. It’s not just that this was a morning show. I saw a clip of him being asked what ‘Red Guitar’  was about and his answer was ‘It’s about a guitar.’ 

LOL, I’m pretty sure you’re referring to the interview where the interviewer kept ripping the mic away from him before Kris could complete any answers. (After People’s Choice announcements.) It seems interviewers would want to make interesting interviews.

@anovich: He’s only about 1 year & few months younger than I am but I feel like a proud mama today!
(Tho I have no ‘motherly’ feeling towards him. Excuse me, gross.)

Kris Allen, I’m just so proud of you.

This is a sentiment I think most Kris fans share. It’s kind of funny in a way – he’s only about 6 years yougner than I am but it’s just so easy to feel this way about him.
