    Thanks for the interview – great to see Kris again. I’ll be missing this for a month as we go OS today – [we'll be in the US when the Idol Finale is on but are staying with friends who aren't into idol- I'll have to see what I can online!]
    I have loved all the Kris news lately- hope he’s shown on the Finale also?
