Kris Allen
News

According to Amazon's bestseller list, Adam Lambert is the American Idol winner. Don't trip.

Kris Allen's cheesy yet radio friendly first single, "Live Like We're Dying" has plummeted on the charts, hitting a low of #58.

But Adam Lambert's yet to be released debut single holds the #3 spot on Amazon's bestseller list.

Naturally, preorders are not final sale numbers, so Kris Allen could actually outsell Glambert. Taylor Hicks could also outsell Glambert, but neither of those scenarios seem very likely to me. Go Adam, go!

I am no Kris Allen fan, but his debut single "Live Like We're Dying" is a fairly catchy, uplifting song co-written by Irish pop rockers the Script.

Kris spoke with New York's Z100 about the song, saying, "It was really cool. You dream of this day, you dream of having a single out and having it on the radio."

The reason why I like this song is because it's not nearly as boring as Kris is. If producers can spice him up, he has a shot at success.

Kris Allen, the boring mediocre singer who won American Idol this year, has managed to avoid the limelight and magazine covers like Idol runner-up, Adam. However, Kris did have an interview with Parade.com. Kris was asked if Adam is stealing the spotlight, he is, but Kris doesn't think so.

Kris on Adam Lambert

"Adam is definitely one of those people who garnishes media attention. He's different, and he's something completely different from Idol and so I think he deserves all that stuff. And for me, I'm totally laid back and cool. Being on the cover of Rolling Stone, he had something to say and they wanted to be the ones to say it. That was his way to do that. I don't have any problems with it at all. I think Adam totally deserves it. I don't feel like he's stealing my thunder."

Kris Allen dresses like he shops at Wal-mart. The man NEEDS a stylist. WTFug is he wearing? Second, the man has no range. He's so boring. Kris Allen, good luck with that lengthy career of yours. You will need it.

Kris Allen will be singing the National Anthem during game 2 of Sunday's NBA Finals between the L.A. Lakers and Orlando Magic. ABC will be airing the finals.

Kris joins former Idol winners Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks and David Cook who have also sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at championship games.

I was over Kris Allen when he was on American Idol, and weeks later, I am completely over him now. I hope he croaks and his voice squeaks during his performance. And although Kris is selling much more copies of his debut single than Adam, that doesn't mean shiz! It's because Glambert fans don't wanna buy audio of him singing Kara DioGaurdi's cheesy "No Boundaries" song. Adam has outsold all of his Idol competitors on iTunes during the show's run. Mr. Lambert is the real star of the show.

Kris better soak it all in while he can.

Well ain't this some sh*t! The New York Times has uncovered some truf, yo, dude, dawg! This is hawt, yo! According to the Times, AT&T, American Idol's biggest corporate sponsor, helped Kris Allen to rob the title from Adam Lambert.

AT&t gave phones for free text-messaging services to TWO Kris Allen parties in Arkansas on the night of the finals! The AT&T reps also showed party-goers how to "power text" -- cast 10 votes at the touch of a button - which violates show rules!!!

Power texts, according to the Times, "have an exponentially greater effect on voting than do single text messages or calls to the shows toll-free phone lines."

No similar efforts appear to have been made to provide free texting services to Adam Lambert fans. Angry Lambert supporters are now claiming in online chat boards that the competition's voting was rigged.

While Fox has yet to comment,

AT&T issued the following statement: "In Arkansas, we were invited to attend the local watch parties organized by the community. A few local employees brought a small number of demo phones with them and provided texting tutorials to those who were interested."

I guess AT&T reps are a bunch of homophobic dickheads. F*ck this shit! Now you can't tell me Adam Lambert's sexuality had nothing to do with Kris Allen fans getting these special power text phones while Adam's fans received none!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I demand a re-vote and Idol needs to do something about voting for next year cause fans of the show will not tolerate this bullshit. At least I won't. This just proves that Adam will outsell Kris Allen by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions!

Adam Lambert's brother Neil is making things easy for Adam. Adam doesn't have to come out of the closet, his brother did it for him. Neil Lambert has been posting his opinions on all things Idol for a while now, and he had this to say about Adam's sexuality and Danny F*cking KareGokey!

“What pisses me off is that people think he’s not talking about it because he’s scared of what’ll happen. Look at the loving TV and tell me he’s scared of weirding people out. Yeah right.

The truth is, American Idol shouldn’t be about the contestants’ silly personal stories. Had Danny Gokey not gone the Pity Party route, he would’ve been out sooner because he’s just not that exciting of a singer.

I don’t want to see Adam on-screen whimpering about how hard it is to be a gay man in America because it doesn’t have to do with his singing. Adam didn’t want to fuse a sob story into his Idol persona. He wants to sing and entertain, not make people vote for him out of sympathy.”

I couldn't agree more!

Adam Lambert gave the press a spirited backstage interview after his American Idol loss. He laughs off rumors that claim his sexuality cost him the title and says that he has already received some business offers.

Adam Lambert knows how to answer questions diplomatically. And notice how he perks up at the end when he talks about his jacket? He must love shopping.

The American Idol season finale was the biggest upset in the show's eight year history. It was reported today that 6 out of every 8 American Idol votes are cast from the South. Kris is from Arkansas.

Kris Allen allegedly won by a landslide, which is ridiculous. You should really only be allowed to vote for an American Idol contestant once per night. Kris Allen said,

“I’m shocked. I feel great, but I’m just shocked.”

“Adam deserved this just as much as I do. He’s an amazing performer, a gifted guy — an amazing guy.”

Adam Lambert said,

“Kris is my bud. He’s such a good guy, so humble, and he’s super talented. I’m really happy for him.”

“I’m a little bit different, and people enjoyed it, and that feels amazing. It feels really cool to be able to challenge people’s concepts of what is an American Idol.”

“Getting to sing with Queen and Kiss on stage tonight,. That, to me, was winning.”

I do not know where to begin with this post, but I am furious! Yep, it's great that Kris Allen won, I guess, but I think that Adam Lambert's sexuality played a huge role in this season's outcome. Whew! Okay. I will attempt to be calm.

I pretty much only heard Kris Allen sing tonight. Yeah, I heard him sing Kanye's "Heartless," but every time Kris would perform, I wouldn't pay attention, or maybe I would, but I would forget his performances. He does not stand out. He got lucky. He is Taylor Hicks 2.0. The only difference between Kris and Taylor is that Kris plays instruments and he's more talented; but he's like every other artist you hear on a street corner or at a college party. Many have tried to be another John Mayer, if that's the direction Kris is going in, and many have failed.

I'm pretty speechless right now. Speechless. I will attempt to regroup and write something halfway decent in the morning. I had so many thoughts, but my mind is going blank. Typing about the finale makes it more real and I am confused.

One thing I will say is that AMERICAN IDOL DID NOT ANNOUNCE KRIS ALLEN'S PERCENTAGE OF VOTES OR ADAM LAMBERT'S PERCENTAGE OF VOTES. WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And when Ryan Seacrest asked Kris what he has to say about winning American Idol, Kris said, "Adam deserves this. I'm sorry." I couldn't agree more!
