Kris Allen reveals a rather big piece of news during an interview with Hollywire before his set at the SXSW festival over the weekend!

We know Kris and his wife Katy are expecting a baby in July. But now we also know…that it’s a boy! Also, Kris stays super tight-lipped about upcoming projects. More will be revealed, I’m sure.


Plus, Kris shares some embarrassing moments

    I am so happy about the baby news, and Kris seems so relaxed and happy in that interview, proving that he is, indeed getting more comfortable in his interviews. It’s too bad about the “I don’t care”, but I don’t believe that he doesn’t care about anything important. I think it has more to do with the genre of his music, as I’ve heard him say in a number of interviews that he loves music, and hates to have to conform to any genre requirements.
    When discussing whether Kris is “working his butt off” sufficiently, people seem to forget that it does take time to write the very enjoyable music he produces. Hopefully, things will come together for that music to be heard by more people, but I think he’s approaching it in the right order. There is no point in becoming a celebrity if you have nothing that people want to hear once they know you exist.
    I am a fan of Kris, his voice, his music and what a great live performer he is turning out to be. That’s good enough for me.

    “As a fan it’s a little annoying, and it’s one of the reasons why I’m not
    as big of a fan as I used to be, I’d bet that the same goes for others.”

    I think Kris may have lost quite a few casual fans just because he and his music isn’t very visible. However if you enjoy his music and his voice, I don’t see why you would purposefully stop being a fan. That is unless your attitude is you can’t be a fan of an artist because they are too damn stupid in the way they handle their career, lol.

    A lot of his songs would already fit that show and the characters. It would be dynamite if he’d write some songs for the show. Getting a guest appearance would be too much to ask for, but I’d be over the moon if it happened. I love that show.

    I think that was the girl on Clever TV. They look similar.

    Congrats to Kris and Katy. It’s a wonderful thing. I also took his little “I don’t care” statement as he wants to please himself, not some big label who he was probably forced to please. I’ve said this many times, I have not seen Kris this happy in a long time. I’m sure they wanted him to go in a direction that perhaps he didn’t want to go in. Maybe Kris doesn’t want to be the next Justin Bieber or One Direction. Perhaps he doesn’t wish to emulate Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Adele or Katy Perry. Kris wants to be Kris. He has said that his original composition that he calls “Paul Simon” did not make the CD but since he plays it at every show…my guess is this was a conflict between him and the label.

    More power to Kris for having a mind of his own. I wouldn’t take his words too harshly. Sometimes words just don’t come out the way we want them to, especially when they are thrown at us.

    I have never seen an interview from Kris that was boring. Most interviewers will say how humble and nice he is. The fact that he is low key and doesn’t go all over the map just means that is his personality. If I stopped being a fan of someone just because their interviews were low key, I would not be a fan of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Johnny Depp or Pierce Brosnan, to name a few. Personally I care about their artistry, not their interviews. And then there’s also the fact that perhaps, just perhaps, he was tired.

    Different strokes for different folks. Fun interview. Fun interviewer. Fun interviewee.

    Great interview! Kris was so fun&really shared a lot in this interview! Every time I see an interview with Kris, I love him more! Kris is probably one of the most REAL artists in the music industry today!

    He wrote “Paul Simon” after album 2 came out. From what he’s said, it will be on album #3

    I think there were so many factors that were beyond Kris’s control.The first problem was his lack of promotion during the season.In fact,the producers did everything to keep him from winningSimon knocked him on Ryan’s show the day after the win.They also did very little to protect him after those false rumors about the win.Idol didn’t even have Kris on to sing his single and promote his album.My own half sister ,who is a casual idol watcher,actually said that it was a shame Kris didn’t have a single or an album.I think 19 also did not treat Kris as the winner.This is all water under the bridge, but none of it was Kris’s fault.
    As far a s interviews,I have seen and heard hundreds of them and Kris was charming and funny in 99% of them.
    Also,having The Truth as the second single was a terrible decision and Kris had no choice but to go along with it.

    Kris isn’t perfect and it is too bad that there were mistakes on the poster,but i don’t fault Kris for assuming that it was done competently.Kris is an artist and his focus was on the music.
    I am sure Kris wants as much success as possible,but he is also very grateful to have a career in music.He talks a lot about how important it is to him to keep improving in all aspects of music and he obviously has.i don’t think anyone can doubt his knowledge and passion for music and for me that is what’s important.He really is a very energetic and charismatic live performer.and I love his voice and his music.That and the fact that i admire his character and find him charming and funny.I really don’t think he has a mean bone in his body.He is a good man and I’m sure he will be a wonderful father.

    Congrats Kris and Katy! :D I bet their son will be a real sweetheart.

    I hope people don’t expect him to be a clone of Kris. That’s cute in theory, but we’re all individuals. And hey…Who’s to say that because they’re having a son that he will look exactly like Kris? He could take after Katy for all we know. :P

    I hope the new site is put up soon too. I can’t wait to see it! Hope it’s something that is updated constantly and fits him. Oh, and is fun for us fans of course. :)

    I’m looking forward to seeing the new merch close up. On both the site and hopefully in person. Really want one of those zip up jackets.(I waited too long to order the now sold-out grey “Red Guitar” jacket from his online shop.)I hope there are new shirt designs in the future as well. We need a creative and colorful “Monster” and/or “Better With You” shirt, and a black or green “Out Alive Tour” shirt with the newer tour dates on it. Hopefully a western PA date will end up on a tour shirt. Still wish my 2010 red elephant tour shirt had the State College appearance on it. Especially since I bought it at the show. I love it anyway though. :P

    I get where you are coming from. This is the first time (and will be the last time) that I followed an artist this closely. I think as an invested fan tha

    nyc57, I totally agree with you on your observations specially regarding how Idol and his management treated him on his first year. I know I may stir up some hurt feelings from some fans but I feel that the reason why AI and Jive/19 didn’t treat Kris as a winner is because they already chose Adam as the winner. They’ve made their choice and went with it. Didn’t you notice how much promotion and publicity Adam get compared to Kris’s? Also, Adam immediately have a project after Idol. Remember the song from the movie, 2012? Adam was already chosen for that song so soon after Idol ended. So Adam has backers right after the show. Most likely he have those already since he’s been in the business more than Kris, but yet I can’t help but wonder – why does he have such great luck in getting promotion while Kris, the winner, seems to be an afterthought. I truly believe these Adam factor truly affected Kris. Since Adam is more “Hollywood” and more entertainment media’s pet, Kris will have a hard time getting more exposure. And in this business, exposure is a crucial key, no matter how talented you are. Unfortunately, Kris is one person who seems to be happy in setting his own pace. Also, I remember he once described himself as shy and doesn’t like the spotlight much. Maybe he will be just as happy or maybe more ecstatic even he’s just be a songwriter of one hit song of another singer. I really don’t know. But him being perceived as lazy due to his “I don’t care” reply is not right and fair, just because he didn’t meet one’s interpretation of success.

    I have so much in my mind and my wild imagination is running so I better stop or I maybe accused of biased, being crazy or what. So I’ll keep my trap shut. For now.

    And of course, congratulations to Kris and Katy. So happy and excited to see a mini-Kris soon.

    I’ve seen this announcement all over the media — People, OK Magazine, Access Hollywood, E!, AOL Radio, THR, etc. My twitter feed has been blowing up with all these links, lol
