Paula Abdul backstage with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. There’s lots of kissing and hugging. I’ll just leave it at that.

Check out Adam and Kris’s interview with Ryan Seacrest after last night’s show.

    How cute is that? Little kissy on the ear…Kris totally unphased. Lovin’ the Lammie Love. So sweet. I love them. What a great bromance.

  • kmra

    i love them. :smile1_ee:

  • clearone

    If Kris wasn’t married, I’d sure be wondering about these two. Very touchy feely….

    Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s lots of kissing and hugging. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll just leave it at that.

    Reading that made me LOL before I even clicked play. Hee Kris was totally unphased by that. It looked as if Paula was spazzing out. Too funny. Good luck to both of them. :)

  • RemusL

    Another great Kradam interview! Whoever wins, at least we’ll have the Kradam media tour to look forward to over the next week.

  • http://twitter.com/cara_lee pj

    Aww, cute. More fuel for the Kramdam fire. ;-)

  • phildog716

    I heart this bro-mance.

  • adamisthemanfan

    LOL he kissed like the side of his head..on his hair..LOL too funny…Paula needs to lay off whatever she is taking…every time she tries to say something there’s like a huge lagging pause in between its like its hard for her to have complete thoughts…she’s lost a few brain cells, lol but she’s really nice to the contestants and I really like that.

  • Skylark

    Great, neither of them think it’s a competition. Oh well. Guess all those millions of fans voted for nothing and the jokes on them!

  • JenG

    Adam is so unguarded. That’s a really attractive quality in a person. The two of them are kind of ridiculously adorable.

    Great, neither of them think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a competition. Oh well. Guess all those millions of fans voted for nothing and the jokes on them!

    lol. Welll.. they are being diplomatic. Sure they’d both be happy for the other, but I’m sure they’d both like to win.

    Plus, at this point, it really is more like just putting on a good show than competing against each other. I’m willing to believe that most people already had their minds up before going into last nights finale.

  • phildog716

    I just found this little nugget on youtube, a lil Allison/Adam love.

    Gokey and Sarver look like even bigger scummy tools after this.

  • primeminister

    Awwh! Cute that they love each other in the “right” and “godly” way. Heh :)

  • shuey

    I didn’t think anything of the kiss…Thats just the way Adam is. He is so protective of the people he is around.

  • sterling

    This just in! Apparently Kara was wrong, there really are some Boundaries after all.

    This is a piece of art called “GuessThereAreBoundariesAfterAll”

    awwww that is one ‘Godly’ kiss! haha. Am I wrong to replay just the Kradam part over and over again?? :laugh_tb:

  • sterling

    Oops, I missed the image….

  • CCAdamFan

    Could these two be ANY cuter?

  • hollygo9

    Apparently, Kris Allen is so freakin’ cute that everyone has to hug him and kiss him and name him George. No wonder EW dubbed him ‘Kute Allen’.

  • hypnoticwhisper

    AWWWW! I loved how Adam kissed Kris on his head. tooo cute!

  • annabelina

    Lol! A Godly kiss! It almost doesn’t look like Kris was aware of it, like he could have thought it was Paula who gave him the kiss. Not that it matters. There’s so much adorable bromance love between them regardless.

    Paula is seriously on something.

    Adam, is your coat more Phantom of the Opera or Twilight?

    Neither! It’s The Matrix!

  • boofer

    Ha! If I was Kris Allen’s wife I would be nervous…I think Adam has a magnetic energy…just saying.. :)

  • phildog716

    delete….

  • Stephen Garcia

    Wow, these two.

    They enhance themselves and their image
    after the competition unlike Gokey and some
    others.

    While some of it may be diplomatic. And while
    I’m also sure both can TASTE winning, I do think
    we just heard from Adam that he doesn’t want
    the outcry to be “he lost because of homophobia”
    he said it was a “level playing field”

    Again, I just may go to the show even if Kris wins
    after this…

    …in the mean time GO ADAM.

  • phildog716

    hug him and kiss him and name him George.

    OMG, did you just quote à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“The Abominable Snow Rabbità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ?

    You just made my day!!

    :jittery_tb: :clap_tb: :lol_tb:

  • karenw

    How sweet was that clip … they seem like geuinely good friends.

    Pity they can both sing and will be having a music career, because if they didn’t they would be great in a kind of Friends meets Will & Grace sitcom together.

  • lola

    I agree Adam has that magnet. I am so happy reading the internet buzz about him (except of course the sexuality issue). Music crtics and famous personalities have been impressed by his incredible talent claiming that he is the next big star in the offing. So win or lose, you got the title in the eyes of very important people. You’re going to soar high. Loving it.

  • adamlover

    i love them.

    i can tell from ryan’s radio show that kris won…just from the question to adam about the constant adoration from the judges backfiring.

    im going to be soo sad for adam…i love him!!!!

  • lifeisgood

    I love when Adam answers the question at the very end about his coat – Kris goes “Yesss!” So cute!

  • twinkle

    oh god. i didnt even think of the fact that ryan might know the results. but he has said that he waits until after he is off air so he doesnt slip. i would guess this would definitely be a time when he would wait seeing as how he was facing the two people that would make him most likely to slip.

    they are so very cute though. i mean really. let’s have an idol spin-off and just listen to them joke with each other all the time.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    adamlover, Ryan doesn’t know the results yet. He doesn’t find out until he gets to the CBS studios – or in this case, the Nokia.

  • oddobserver

    Paula reminds me of a ditsy Sandra Bullock, right down to the hair and tan.

    Loved the comment by Kris-
    “I think that’s how we’ve done the whole competition,” Kris says. “We have not competed with anyone. We’ve just competed with ourselves every week, and that’s almost harder than competing with anyone else.”

    Way to go! I, for one, will buy both your albums, guys, unless you’re willing to send a copy each to me? :)

  • wand3rful

    if VH1 can give those skanks from rock of love their own show, why not a Kradam special?

    the kiss on the head…and kris totally unfazed by it? warms my icy heart :wub_tb:

  • heathus

    i can tell from ryanà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s radio show that kris wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦just from the question to adam about the constant adoration from the judges backfiring.

    He probably hasn’t even seen the results yet.

  • Ellie2

    I heart them both so much. They are everything that’s good about people and friendship. Adam is so sweet and loving and supportive and Kris is the same, and totally not freaked out by being hugged and kissed by his gay friend. Not worried about “gay cooties.” They are both completely secure in who they are, as artists and human beings. Wow, is it possible this cheesy show is restoring my faith in humanity?

  • ShariG

    Okay hearing Paula spew the Rock God crap at Adam again really made me a little sick. They are cute though, aren’t they? Kris and Adam I mean. I love the friendship between opposites. Very cool. Adam kissed him on the ear/cheek. Too funny. He seemed completely unconcerned.

  • wellhesback

    Big dittos to all the comments above. It’s great to see people acting like adults. And bravo to the attitude that it”s about the performing not the competing at this point, like the Davids last year.

    Just one comment – If Kris has done all that traveling outside the U.S., I’m not surprised he’s shown a little maturity. Getting outside your own culture will do that for you, whether you’re on a mission trip on not. I haven’t read details on his, but many of these trips actually help people.

    So so glad it wasn’t Adam and Gokey.

  • twinklestar

    I don’t think Adam was kissing Kris. It looked to me like he was kissing Paula’s hand??

  • ShariG

    Why do they have to get up at the crack of dawn for this radio show? This is going to be such a very long day for them. They do have an even playing field and they do have completely different styles. They both have a great attitude towards all of the hype. It should be a really great show tonight.

    That’s not true. I’m pretty sure Ryan made it clear in that interview he does NOT know the results yet. AND he’s said in the past he makes sure he does NOT know the results before he does his radio show for fear of letting it slip.

    He doesn’t find out until he shows up for work at Idol.

    Paula’s one hand was down by Adam’s waist and the other is behind kris’s head. Adam kisses Kris by his ear- very sweet.

    I love the Adam kiss on Kris’ ear. In the group hug!! Ahhhhhh!

    Ryan interviewed the guys before voting was complete. So if he knew the result he has super powers OR the whole thing is fixed. I doubt either is true.

    I remain convinced that they play with the results to boost ratings — like putting Adam in the Bottom 2 on Top 5 week — but I don’t think they play with the final winner. If they did pick the winner they wanted, why didn’t they pick Clay? He was more commercial, had the biggest fanbase, and they took enormous heat for the phone line capacity fiasco.

    Almost everything points to a really close finish — maybe a 1% spread. So I’m hoping for a tie. Kradam FTW.

  • jammasta

    I loved when Adam said he thought What’s Going On was gorgeous, and Kris said “Thanks, I appreciate that.” Also, I liked when Kris caught himself saying What’s Going On and they had a laugh.

    Currently watching the video. LOL. Umm, did Kris just call Adam… sweetie? It sounded like after Paula gave him the kiss, he said “Thank you Paula” then after Adam, he said “Thank you sweetie”. Umm….. lol. Katy needs to watch out!

    You just made my day!!”

    Warner Bros. references are always relevant! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who appreciated it. I threw out a quote from “What’s Opera Doc” (Bwunhilda, you’re so Wuv-wy…) the other day, and no-one took notice. I am a nerd.

  • iluvai

    They are so cute. What wonderful people they both seem to be. It’s really refreshing to see such an nice friendship. Love it.

  • laz
  • jammasta

    I like how they both appreciate each other, and I love Kris’s thing about “competing with ourselves.” I never really thought about it that way, but it seems kinda true that they’d be competing more with themselves than with each other. Good insight, Kris. But I still swear I just heard him call Adam “sweetie” or something :P .

    I also agree, both of them should be crowned. I voted over 2000 times for Kris, though, but I’m just glad the guy said they’re gonna sign at least BOTH KRIS AND ADAM!!!! Yee.

  • karenw

    Did Paula say something about Kris’s style being like the soulful “John Merrick” kind of way? ….

    Is there a musician called John Merrick or does she mean John Mayer?

    I thought John Merrick was the Elephant Man.

  • Carlaria

    In Ryan’s interview it’s interesting that Adam says he was in the bottom 3 and not bottom 2…let the conspiracy theorists crawl out of the woodwork!

  • lavender1960

    What a great bromance.

    So true, I had forgottten about my favourite term from Big Brother, bromance is a beautiful thing.

  • Scamp

    Yeah, Ryan has said that he won’t read results before his own show, but I got the idea that he can read the results the minute he is off the air. I’m thinking he has them with him. Now where did I read this?

  • lavender1960

    One of my favourite bands is Australian, all testosterone and overtly heterosexual but they were often hugging and kissing each other and even the odd kiss, on stage, though usually full on the lips is someone playing a prank on the receiver – we call it manlove rather than bromance and we think it is hot, they never over did it, just enough to keep it hot.

    I was just watching an interview of Green Day two days ago and I don’t know what the question was but Tre Cool suddenly planted a big wet one on the lips of Billie Joe who then gave Mike Dirnt a rather long snog. As Paris Hilton would say “Hoooooooooot”

  • ppwars

    Lala land.

  • wjmtv

    I wasn’t going to weigh in on this, but my fingers have minds of their own.

    Total air kiss. It’s all about camera angles.

    But seriously, what *is* Paula popping? She’s like a 45 record set to 33 1/3. (Showing my age here.)

    Go Kradam! Everybody wins!!!!!!

  • abbysee

    Not worried about à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“gay cooties.

    Nope, bring it on ‘sweetie’. They are adorable. Sweet, evolved human beings. Lovely!

  • chicksineggz

    Lol. Kris says “totally” a lot.

    I heard Kris say “sweetie” too.

  • lola

    Can’t stop smiling. I think Adam was about to kiss Paula but he got confused and went to Kris head. Oh well….I don’t find anything wrong with it.

  • dusty

    Kris was saying “sweetie” to Paula.

  • clearone

    Sweetie? :wink_wp:

    Wish I could listen to this video at work! Can’t wait to watch it at home later.

  • chicksineggz

    Kris was saying à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“sweetieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  to Paula.

    Probably. But I heard him say thank you Paula first. And then say Sweetie.
    I watched this way too many times. xD

    Billie does that a lot to Mike =)

  • monleo1705

    Kris needs to brush up on his interview skills….pronto! He doesn’t answer them badly, it’s just….kinda too slow and not witty enough. I think it’s the lack of confidence thingy. And he needs to cut down on the “totallys”. LOL! Adam can give an interview very well. That being said, I STILL LOVE KRIS!!! HOPE YOU WIN THIS KRIS!!!

    :happy_tb:

  • undercooked

    Billie does that a lot to Mike =)

    According to Wikipedia, Billie considers himself bi-sexual.

  • shadow-rider

    If you watch closely you can see that Adam was kissing Paula’s hand, that or Kris’s ear suddenly fell off afterwards. Not that it matters really.

    I just can’t get enough of the interviews between the two. They are so fun to watch. I love the fact that I like both of them. I’m sad that tonight is the last night. I just hope they both do all the interview stuff like Jay Leno etc. They usually only have the winner but it would be nice to have them both especially if Kris wins. I think he looks to Adam for help with the interview questions. I can’t count how many times I have heard him say I feel the same way and totally meaning he agrees with Adam.

    Kris really does need to practice giving interviews. He and Adam both are going to be stars!!! I can’t wait for the tour to start.

  • colette

    OK, does she medicate herself or doesn’t she? Why does Paula sound even more like she’s popped several Valium than she has on other occasions?

    but it’s sweet seeing Adam buss Kris. What a cute couple, I mean that in a “godly” way (tee hee).

    Also, peeps, if you are at all drawn to Kris’s music, I urge you to take a look/listen at the video of “What’s Going On?” again. He actually sounds really wonderful, much better than I thought yesterday.

    Which is a big aha! insight for me today: I think Kris will be the kind of artist whose music evolves for you, each time you hear it. This has happened to me several times with his numbers this season, and which the TV audience (and even Simon) experienced last night with “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

    What probably didn’t help him, though, was no intro to the song. He just launched right into it , and it probably would have added a smidge of drama if he’d built up to it with a few bars of strum and drum.

    Anyone agree?

  • awilliams

    They are everything thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s good about people and friendship. Adam is so sweet and loving and supportive and Kris is the same, and totally not freaked out by being hugged and kissed by his gay friend. Not worried about à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“gay cooties.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  They are both completely secure in who they are, as artists and human beings.

    So true. This was just pure joyful affection between Paula, Adam and Kris; nothing else should be read into it.

    I used to live and work in San Francisco 20 years ago. My industry included alot of “gay” men and women. I shared an office with a gay woman and we had the best working relationship. She was very funny and had me in hysterics laughing most of the day. Her partner would stop by and we’d often all go out to dinner together.

    There’s way too much emphasis and speculation on people’s sexuality/choices in the media.

  • JosieX

    I agree with shadow-rider, I put it on full screen and it looks to me as if Adam was kissing Paula’s hand that was behind Kris’ ear. Since they were greeting Paula that makes sense. I don’t think he would kiss Kris on the back of the head, it would be kind of condescending for a taller adult to do that to a shorter adult in most circumstances I think – nothing to do with affection/preference/what have you, just to do with Adam’s demonstrated social facility.

  • lizland

    Yep, he was kissing Paula. It fits the context and how her arm was draped over Kris. Also, Kris would have reacted if Adam had planted one on him. Couldn’t help but react.

  • Bewitched

    I really have come to admire Paula this season because of all the love and support she has given the contestants, especially Adam throughout the season and now Kris, when I think he needs the support to handle this winning thing since he seems to give off the feeling that he really doesn’t deserve it. Adam has shown him a lot of support and I think tried to make him feel deserving of it. Adam is so full of love for others, I admire his character so much. Paula gets a bad rap with the precieved medication or alcohol thing, I love her, too…… OMG….. Adam is changing my life.

  • tor

    If you watch closely you can see that Adam was kissing Paulaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hand, that or Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s ear suddenly fell off afterwards. Not that it matters really.

    I watched it every way I could. Paula’s right hand is on Kris’ right side of his face, her left hand is around Adam’s back. There is no way Adam is kissing her hand. If you watch closely, you see Kris’ head move slightly to his left as Adam would have made contact, so it looks like his head moves under the pressure of the contact. I think Adam moved in so Paula could kiss his cheek and accidently made contact with Kris. But that’s my two cents which is worth about that.

  • tor

    I mean Paula’s arm was over his left shoulder…sorry.
