Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta interview each other for the Los Angeles Times from backstage at the summer tour rehearsals.

Allison’s quirky sense of humor meets Kris’s dry wit, and it’s pure comedy gold. Hilarious.

  • hwc

    Don’t quit your day jobs, kids.

  • Matt

    And Allison Iraheta continues to make Simon look like a moron.

  • babybelle32

    They are just too cute. I love seeing them together, they compliment one another so well.

  • cookcricket

    No comments yet? I haven’t watched yet.

    Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t quit your day jobs, kids.

    Too late. They already have.

  • yeahyeahsure

    OMG too cute for words. I love these two! :wub_tb:

  • taks

    I’ve watched these videos over and over and over again. Even moreso than the Kradam ones. Kris/Allison are really hilarious together.

  • lilbrusc102

    haha, oh Allison. I LOVE her personality!!! She seem like the most fun of the group…

  • lizardino

    These two are really funny together — Allison “talking to” Lady Gaga on the phone and her saying, “I suck at interviews” have to be two of my favorite moments. Kris is getting better on camera, and Allison has a natural gift for comedy.

  • hwc

    No. I mean their day jobs singing karaoke hits for American Idol. I don’t think any networks are going to be offering them a late night comedy/interview show!

    It’s amazing to me that any of these kids can even stand to be in the same room with the others after a full year of Idol and Idol tour.

  • cookcricket

    Adorable! I love it!!!

  • ppwars

    Allison makes a major appearance in the Anoop/Matt interview that is NOT to be missed!

  • Pam

    Allison was acting like a spazzed out fangirl! I love it! Very adorable interview! :D

    The first vid where Allison is interviewing Kris….Priceless!

  • dcmjfan127

    Very cute! They look like they had a lot of fun! Not even Allison can get Kris to say those 2 word ‘I won’! Always his humble self ‘Everyone’s winners’ :biggrin_wp:

    Anoop & Matt’s interviews are pretty funny too!

  • Michelle

    LOL I think Allison may have been referring to her starstruck demeanor on Good Day LA a loooong time ago in Top 13. (when – hey! she and Kris (and Adam) were interviewing together)

    Also, the hairclip Allison was using to interview Kris — migrates to Kris’ head when he is interviewing her. :D

  • beckysspam

    OMG. I love Allison so much. And Kris is really cute. They have such genuine smiles on their faces here. They clearly have a great relationship. They’re adorable and hysterical together. So cute.

    And is it weird that I want Allison for my bff?

  • ppwars

    HAHAHAaaaaa!!!!! Alli’s expression after Kris’ comment about his caller working with her! These are great. Something tells me that what we see of Alli in these few minutes is what her peers are treated to full time!

    I think it’s a version of the Stockholm syndrome. lol.

  • IdolThoughts

    Funny. Allison is hilarious.

  • PattyH

    Next TMZ headline: “Kris Allen calls other Idols losers!”

    Cute videos!

  • AC

    Aww.. they are so cute! I loved how they basically didn’t ask each other anything in their little interviews. haha

  • lizardino

    During the competition, I remembering reading that the stylists who were working with Allison saying that she was one of the funniest idols they had ever worked with, and they loved her. Now we see why. Hee!

    I LOVE that hair clip — Kris could start a new trend!

  • weareallinnocent

    And Allison Iraheta continues to make Simon look like a moron.

    LOL No kidding. She’s personality personified (er, I suppose everyone is, but YKWIM. :-) )

    Loved her “losers” bit. Too much fun!

  • hwc

    I think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a version of the Stockholm syndrome. lol.

    Yep. That’s gotta be it.

    It must be really weird for a contestant like Adam (or Taylor or DAUGHTRY back in the day) who has already moved on before the tour even starts. Particularly Adam, whose life and celebrity has done down a completely new highway since Idol ended and who now has to shift gears back to to Idol for the tour.

  • girlygirl

    “I suck at interviews”

    *You do. You’ve sucked from the very beginning”

    “I normally surround myself with winners…like P Diddy…”

    ROFL

  • girlygirl

    Adam doesn’t seem to mind. He looks like he’s happy hanging out with his friends…especially Kris and Allison.

    And it’s a nice break from all the other stuff swirling around him.

    Kris has moved on past Idol, too. But he looks like he’s having a blast. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

  • Sunshinegirl

    No. I mean their day jobs singing karaoke hits for American Idol. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think any networks are going to be offering them a late night comedy/interview show!

    Well I seriously doubt that is what they did these for or what they would want as their next goals. They’re just being silly together…not trying to impress any big wigs of late night tv…sheesh!

  • AC

    I don’t think anyone has exactly moved on. This tour is for the fans who’ve voted or supported them and I doubt that any of them have moved on from them/us.

    And yes, Simon was so right about Kris not having confidence or Allison having no personality. :tongue2_tb: to him

  • isisdagmar

    I never understood the personality thing either–I suppose that her first interview with Ryan before singing Alone was a bit stilted (understandably), but after that it became clear that she was hilarious and quirky and adorable. Well, I suppose she’s laughing all the way to the recording studio. :) And the Kris/Allison and Kris/Adam interviews are adorable and hilarious as well–the only thing better would be an interview with all three of them together.

  • chrgi

    hwc, you must be a riot at parties. :rolleyes_wp:

    These interviews were fun. Not serious at all, but I always love seeing a sort of behind the scenes look at idols goofing off. I can definitely see why Allison considers Kris (and Adam) her two “big bros”.

  • smartcookie

    I think when Simon said Allison had no personality, it was code for not being a sex kitten. It’s gross, but for Simon, so much with women contestants seems to come down to whether he thinks they’re hot. So he didn’t like Diana DeGarmo’s look or Carly’s or J-Hud’s or Ramiele’s, and I honestly think he would’ve liked Allison’s personality a lot better if she had looked like Vanessa Hudgens or Selena or some other nymphet.

  • EveLambert

    I don’t mean to be offensive but I am entitled to my opinion like everyone else – I honestly think Allison is loud and annoying (still developing) and I hope she really has an adult family member to accompany her on the tour to perhaps keep her grounded – she seems like the type that can get out of hand easily – I agree totally with Simon, she has no personality. Trying to be comical to cover-up for no personality does not cut it….she goes from one extreme to the other – but she is still developing (I am assuming).

  • chessguy99

    Allison gave Kris a great preview of what he is going to encounter at every meet & greet he does during the tour. He’s going to think his name is actually “OMG Kris Allen”, by the end of the tour.

  • EveLambert

    I know these are just fun interviews but I am speaking of her (Allison) on the show, behind the scenes and other things I have noticed before now.

  • http://randomizeme.wordpress.com arca

    I think that Adam is doing the filming for the Kris/Allison videos – that sounds like his laugh I hear every now and then

  • Cheetara86

    I think that Adam is doing the filming for the Kris/Allison videos – that sounds like his laugh I hear every now and then

    It does….

    Krallison is pure comedy gold. You can’t fake that level of comfort and snarky affection.

  • PhDude

    I think Adam is filming this! lol Allison was probably filming theirs! Love Allison and Adam!

  • weareallinnocent

    EveLambert – Not offended at all. You shared your opinion. In my opinion, you seem to be confusing your dislike of Allison’s personality with her supposed lack of one. Just my opinion. I agree she’s developing, which makes sense for a teenager.

  • wellhesback

    I never cease to be amazed at how wrong Simon can be – Calling David Cook arrogant and smug, and that he would be lost without his guitar (like on “Billie Jean”?) ; saying Kris Allen was boring (can’t remember the exact quote) and that Allison had no personality. Yet he’s the judge who is the biggest star, who everyone tries to please. Weird.

  • AC

    I think Adam might be in the background but not doing the filming? You can kinda see the guy on the camera in the mirror and it doesn’t look like it’s Adam. And I didn’t even notice the hair clip on Kris at first! hehe

  • babybelle32

    Allison gave Kris a great preview of what he is going to encounter at every meet & greet he does during the tour. Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s going to think his name is actually à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“OMG Kris Allenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , by the end of the tour.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Allison and Kris have already seen many female (and probably male) fans give Kris that type of reaction.

  • girlygirl

    Well, going by the tweets I’ve seen from people who have run into Kris all over L.A., Kris should e definitely used to that reaction by now…

  • anovich

    This is hilarious – I started laughing out loud – my husband thought I lost it.

    I love that when Kris interviews Allison he has the hair clip she used as a microphone in his hair – totally hilarious.

    And I agree with whoever said that Adam was clearly the one filming this – it definitely sounded like his laugh in the background.

  • drea

    I LOVE that hair clip à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  Kris could start a new trend!

    It could be like the pick thing but for white guys.

  • Truthiness

    Simon was a moron throughout most of this season, and saying Allison did not have a personality, was certainly part of that stupidity. She has a lot of personality, it’s a funny, goofy and very real, and cute, for her age.

    And I have to give some sugar for Kris as well. He and Allison were playing off of each other really well, especially the phone bit and his bit about being accustomed to only hanging around winners.

    Oh and I think it’s Adam at the camera as well. I’ve watched this way too often, and his laugh seems to be coming from the camera level, and the way Kris and Allison react sometimes to the camera person (like looking at them directly, like involving them in the joke) is different than how Kris/Adam and Matt/Anoop acted to their respective camera person(s).

  • TwigLA

    I thought it was a lot of fun. Had me laughing, especially the telephone stuff.

    Oh, and cut Allison a break. She just turned 17, she’s allowed to be a kid with a ton of personality.

  • Cheetara86

    Oh and I think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Adam at the camera as well. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve watched this way too often, and his laugh seems to be coming from the camera level, and the way Kris and Allison react sometimes to the camera person (like looking at them directly, like involving them in the joke) is different than how Kris/Adam and Matt/Anoop acted to their respective camera person(s).

    Yeah, allison kept smiling at the camera guy and she threw at the name Lady gaga

  • isisdagmar

    Allison is clearly goofy–delightfully so in my opinion. But she also can be extremely mature–witness how, right after Kris was announced as the winner, she went to Adam and put her arms around him (not that he seemed upset, but I’m sure it’s nice to get a hug under those circumstances). Something about that gesture seemed very adult to me.

    You guys make a really good point, not only about the laughter, but about how they keep looking at the cameraman. i wonder if Rushfield will confirm it in his article.

  • SarahP

    And is it weird that I want Allison for my bff?

    me too…and kris and adam and anoop and matt as well :lol_tb:

  • ShariG

    I love how these kids all get along with each other. Kris and Allison are great together. Allison is a goof ball and it is refreshing. I think Kris looks at her like a crazy little sister. Too cute.

  • ppwars

    I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mean to be offensive but I am entitled to my opinion like everyone else – I honestly think Allison is loud and annoying (still developing) and I hope she really has an adult family member to accompany her on the tour to perhaps keep her grounded – she seems like the type that can get out of hand easily – I agree totally with Simon, she has no personality.

    Some may find your “thoughts” offensive. Most will not. Rather than possessing a well a founded opinion, you may be regarded as opinionated. On the other hand, your comments may enlighten all that read them.

    According to direct statements of her peers, mentors, support personnel and others who work with her to any degree, Alli is universally loved and held in very high esteem, not only because of her personality, but also because of her prodigious talent and work ethic.

    In my opinion, Simon is a misogynistic egomaniac who desecrates excellence because of his own ineptitude. Idol is his vehicle to pillage and rape annual crops of new talent – the younger and femaler the better. The fact that Alli fought off, but not without wounds, Simon’s mindless, incessant, unwarranted, intentionally harmful attacks to win a high placement further attests to her strenght of character and personality. Simon’s opinion on Alli’s personality is less than worthless.

    Rest assured Alli’s Mom will tour with her. I wager that her mom will tour with her for a few years. I wager that Alli will want her to. Certainly the child is continuing to develop physically, intellectually, musically (hooray), morally, spiritually, and emotionally as should any healthy 17 yo.

  • EveLambert

    ppwars – I would say bravo and Amen to your preaching – but my opinion is my opinion and I stand by it, but I embrace yours as well.

  • ppwars

    That is delusional.

  • ppwars

    IMHO

  • http://twitter.com/cara_lee pj

    Ah, I love Allison. She’s a refreshing change from the pageant-bot teens Idol usually produces. I voted for her. I’ll be buying her album. Kradison FTMFW!

  • maturin

    lurve Allison. She and Kris are adorable here. Her long interview with EW’s Michael Slezak showed her as a bright, spunky, musically aware kid. Here’s she’s a lovable goofball.

  • http://latimes.com/idoltracker richardrushfield

    I wish it had been Adam filming it but afraid it was just me. The person you see for a sec in the mirrors is Michael, the publicist for the tour. You can catch a glimpse of my green blazer very briefly.

    SPOIL SPORT!

    lol…tyty for the info. I woulda bet it wuz you, but the peeps were havin’ so much fun! AND the format was refreshing and fun. Gained some insight into the contestants that normally isn’t so easy.

    Did the publicist have any panic attacks?

  • http://www.eliza.freetxp.com aeyelle

    Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s going to think his name is actually à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“OMG Kris Allenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , by the end of the tour.

    My thoughts exactly. LMAO
    I just love the chemistry that Kradison has. ♥

  • Kath77

    Comedy gold? I thought they, especially Allison, were annoying, and I luvs me some Kradison.

  • auntieaimee

    I think Allison is a hoot. I find her goofiness charming, especially since the other guys are pretty subdued and droll. It’s a good counterbalance. :)

  • nuttin2lose

    I find Allison annoying here. She’s just trying too hard to show that personality she was accused of not having. The whole interview wld have been more fun if she had calmed down a bit. And she is like this in every single interview, way too playful all the time. In matt /anoop’s own too she was noisy. it’s not funny to me at all and certainly not adorable as everyone seems to think.

  • Dr. Tracey

    That was funny, it’s nice to watch them interacting like that, makes a change from the usual questions/answers interviews.
