The Idols were out in full force at Pre-Grammy activities in Los Angeles yesterday. Not only were they sampling the wares at gifting suites, the twitterverse was abuzz with tidbits from various interviews.

The first interviews to pop up are from Randy Jackson and Westwood One radio.  Kris Allen’s interview with Randy is filled with scintillating details about…last summer’s tour?  Ancient history? Hello?

Whatevs. Anyway, I’ll be posting all the pre-Grammy goodies for Kris Allen that pop up today in this space, so watch for updates. And of course, post anything good you find in comments.

The Grammy Awards air Sunday at 8 pm on CBS.

More Video after the JUMP…

    As as I said wrt Randy’s interview with Adam, Kris should take one of his Tom’s Shoes clad feet and also give Randy a swift kick in the a-s…..

  • Mtlfan

    yeah, not original Randy, not at all…

    Kris: we hang together a lot, if we were to hate each other, it wouldn’t be fun…. hahaha, there’s my boy :)

  • Soberba

    Is this even an interview? Randy didn’t let Kris speak two words.

  • TwigLA

    Gee Randy, you just fascinate me with your music industry skills and background. Thanks for talking to Kris about his album, his upcoming concerts, tour plans, and what he plans for the next single, and what he’ll be doing in Haiti in March if that doesn’t get cancelled.

    What? He didn’t? OK. Going back to sleep and dreaming nice thoughts.

  • washyourhands

    Ugh. I feel like we are back to the beginning. Let the boy talk!

  • mzbet

    Wow, Randy…What an in-depth interview. :(

  • HannaB4

    How did Randy get that gig? He’s terrible! He talked more than Adam did in his interview too.

  • itsalleternal

    LOL @ “the fetus” description on the Kris Allen/Justin Bieber pic…but I agree, the Grammys are meant for true, serious acts.

  • Tess

    I know that Kris is scheduled to go to Malasia(?) and there abouts for some concerts next weekend but I don’t know much about them. Can someone give a brief synopsis of where he is playing, to how many, etc. Thanks.

  • hoosiermama

    This can’t be the entire interview! Where’s the rest of it, dawg??

    Kris has got 2 concerts scheduled in the Philippines — Feb 5th and 6th. He supposedly will be in Malaysia on Feb. 8th and then he has a concert in Singapore on Feb. 10th, before heading back to the States for the Kradison concert on the 12th and that Meet Ball thingy in Florida on the 13th

    Everyone always calls Kris tiny, but what about the Bieber kid? Now HE really is tiny

    Totally thinking the same thing… Makes Kris look huge…..
    Bieber’s actually a really cute kid.

  • summersnow

    LOL at the fetus term used by mj….but well Kris likes him and even has one of his songs on his ipod. And yes, I agree with others that Randy should not be hogging the airtime. Let Kris talk!

    LOL! The Bieb hasn’t hit puberty yet. You can’t have a growth spurt if you are taking drugs to hold off puberty. (that’s the rumor)
    Justin’s voice hasn’t started changing yet- he’s trapped in the body of a twelve year old boy. Therefore, he looks like a boy in the 6th or 7th grade.

    Wow.. That is a nasty rumor.. As a parent of a teenage boy, I know they all hit puberty completely at different ages. My son was only 5’2 at 15 and has grown 7″ inches in a year (now 5’9″)-BTW his voice just started changing this year too. I’m not a fan of Bieber’s, but those kind of rumor’s are stupid.

    And RE Kris’ tour in Asia (specifically in the Philippines): I heard from a reliable source that Kris will arrive in the Philippines on the 3rd of February. He’s going to be guesting on several TV and Radio shows. So, he’ll possibly perform some songs (maybe BWCU, since that’s his current single here).

    The concert venue in Manila (where I am going) is an open field with a built-up stage. The audience number will be in the thousands (depending on ticket sales). But there are seats for the first three ticket tiers (VIP, Gold, Silver) and SRO for the last two (Bronze and General Admission). The tickets are actually kind of expensive compared with other concerts to be held within the same time frame (Paramore, Boys Like Girls, Killers etc.) but I’m thinking it’s because there are 3 international acts (of which Kris is the headliner) instead of just one.

    Randy sure has some mad skills when it comes to interviewing… Dawg. Just useless imo, but he seems like he is a nice guy. Poor Kris looks very cute, but very tired.

    The rumor has been around for a while now. There are certain drugs you can take to postpone puberty. Pre-adolescent boys in boy’s choirs in other countries take these drugs all the time.

    It is highly unusual for a boy who is a sophomore in high school to have an unchanged voice. It can happen, but usually some change is occuring by the time they reach 13 or 14.

    For Justins voice to be at a point where it is not changing at all suggests that he is in a very rare percentage or he is taking medicine that postpones puberty. He does have a voice and cute boy image that is worth it’s weight in gold right now. He will lose the “cute-, non-threatning” angle when he hits puberty.

    BTW, I’m not a fan and I don’t care one way or the other. It will be interesting to watch what will happen as he grows older.

    Shut up(kidding!!! Don’t wanna be banned)…justin’s gorgeous… XD

  • martha

    <strong I am not a fan of Bieber, but that is a disgusting rumor. My daughter has a growth spurt that from one Christmas to the next she went from looking like a little kid to looking like a teenager and the two Christmas photos from one year after another were a shock. Not to me, because I saw her everyday, but to the relatives who got the cards and then to me when I gave his some consideration. And, one of her school mates was a short kid leaving 8th grade and a tall boy entering 9th grade basketball tryouts-I was the one not recognizing him. My sympathy to Bieber's parents on the rumors, but I am not a fan of the arrogant singer.

  • Truthiness

    In yet another installment of ‘well duh!’ Kris is sweet and nice in that interview, and Randy is useless.

    Still dig those pics of Kris with the swag. High-larious. He just cracks me up.

  • hoosiermama

    Popping back in after about 8 hours, hoping to see the “rest” of this interview, but to no avail. Surely they chatted for longer than a minute?! I want to hear more, more, more! *sigh*

  • http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=227878099299 Jill

    I too LOVE these SWAG pictures of Kris!!!!!
    He’s all kinds of SEXY, “bed-head”, “I don’t give a shit” – “just keepin’ it reeeaal” – awesomeness!!!!

    Dude, I know! What’s up with that? It’s short and cut off in in the middle of stuff, is it too much to ask if we could see the rest of it? Evidently it is. pfft.

    That’s going to be to cool. Also I think Kris is running on empty because he is working his ass OFF doing interviews, stuff around the NA, he’s been doing shows, he did the NA and he is going to do being an Asian schedule that makes me tired just thinking of it. I mean the Phillipines, Malaysia, Singapore in like 5 days, NY the day after Singapore, then Miami for a show the day after that. I mean dude, that’s nuts. And all of that on top of doing shows and interviews through like November and December…constantly.

    I think Kris has earned his high look and bed head. But still, not really feeling the scruffy beardish action. Yeah, there are men who look good with stubble and/or beards, not feeling that Kris is one of them. He looks so much better to me clean shaven. I mean a little bit is fine, but more than that? and yeah, I just don’t feel that with Kris.

  • druzilla

    Randy is useless all around. Kris was great with the seconds he actually got to talk.

    Little Bieber needs to go back to Canada. He seems snotty and can’t sing live. “No Air” with Jordin was EPIC FAIL.

    His songs aren’t even good as kid’s pop goes. “First Dance” is creepy with his squeaky pubescent voice and its barely disguised sexual metaphor.

    = great news!!!! :D

    … I like scruffy Kris but like his clean look too. He has not had enough of the clean one lately for me.
