Check out the two-part Kris Allen interview with Lyndsay Parker of Yahoo music. In Part 1, they discuss Kris’s remarkable Idol run and dark horse win, and in Part 2, it’s all about the music.
Kris lets a song spoiler out of the bag–he’ll be performing The Beatles’ “Hey Jude”, with the rest of the Idols joining in on the chorus… He wanted to do it on the show, but couldn’t get it cleared. He wanted to do “Falling Slowly” but…for reasons he doesn’t go into, he couldn’t.
He says his album–it’ll have a pop/rock feel–will be “kinda what I did on the show, but with more of an edge to it.” He wants to make good, heartfelt music. He’s going to have a strong hand in the songwriting–he says he does not want to sing anything he doesn’t feel.
Videos after the JUMP…
Part 1
Part 2
He knows that all the Adam stuff he’s asked about will fade out with time.
I liked his answer to the Adriss comment! Agree with him that it certainly doesn’t sound as good as Kradam and i think it’s just made up by people wanting Adam on top :p
One of the thing I’ve not seen so far in interview was questions about the album he made in 2007, ‘Brand New Shoes’. That would be interesting to have details on this
I always get the feeling that every interview Kris does, the interviewer wants to pin Kris down in admitting that Adam is the better singer. Yes, I am a die-hard Adam fan, but I love Kris too, not his music so much, but his personality. And I love the both of them together.
On the second half of the interview, at around 3:07, does anyone know what Kris says? I’ve listened to it three times and still can’t make it out.
I remember reading somewhere that the idols are going to join Kris on the chorus of Hey Jude.
