OMG. More video goodness from Kris Allen and MTV’s Jim Cantiello.

Kris asked on twitter, “”What if @justinbieber punched you? What would you do?” And Jim, ever the news hound, got the answer Friday night, backstage at the Z100 Jingle Ball in NYC.

“I think we were about to go on [stage] or something like that, and he walks by me, this little guy, and he’s like, ‘Pow!’ And I was like, ‘What the heck?’ And he said, ‘Kill it, man.’ It was a nice punch. It hurt though!”

Afterward, Jim goofs on Kris’s height. Kris points out that Jim has makeup on his shirt. Jim calls Kris a jerk. Good times! Check out the vid, after the jump…

    I have irrelevant jealousy that Kris Allen clearly has the discipline to still work out in his mad busy life. And I . . . don’t. Those arm muscles don’t get there by themselves!

    Also, he and Jim are so funny.

    NEW SONG FROM KRIS (and the band) DEBUTING IN FEW DAYS! AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

    He’s probably going to sing one of the ballads in the album – none of those have been performed yet as far as I know (except for Let It Rain). It’s either The Truth, BIB or INTK. I’m hoping it’s BIB.

    Heard it the first time from Jim on one of his Tweet Beats. He called Justin “Fetus with Hair”

    Kris is singing Red Guitar,Oh Holy Night, LLWD,CSA, and IIO. At least that’s what I read on twitter.

    UGH! I’m going to have to stop reading the comments in these links. They only serve to piss me off. So many half-truths…one idiot thinks Kris compared himself to Michael Jackson! (note to moron: saying that you were influenced by someone is NOT akin to comparing yourself to that person) What a bunch of nitwits. I will be glad when S9 starts, so that hopefully, the one upsmanship will stop…or at least involve different targets.

    I doubt they have any “new” songs worked up that aren’t on the album. He probably means something that hasn’t been done in public before.

  • JudyL

    There should be a compulsory Krim thread on mj’s every day. Love Jim’s The Fetus with Hair. I wonder if Usher knew where the Bieber thing would lead but I guess, in the end, it’s all about the money so probably.

    Guess I am pretty dense because the TMZ bit didn’t bother me and I love Kris.

  • Eileen99

    Krim gets better and better. What great rapport, I imagine one of these days the Catan game at Casa Cantiello will actually happen.

    Re: AOL sessions, I love previous versions of Kris’ Oh Holy Night, so looking forward to that. RG isn’t my favorite on the album (a little too country for me), but knowing Kris’ penchant for changing up arrangements, I’m looking forward to hear the band’s take on it.

    (Oblig: Biceps, ICU and I approve).

    So I’m confused- I thought Kris had already been on Letterman- has he only had a practise so far? So when is he actually going to be on? [ It gets confusing over here as its already Thursday morning in Australia]

    Oh & is there a You Tube of the Jim video- I can’t access the MTV one?

  • JudyL

    deez, I know…….the comments are always terrible, no matter who the subject is. Obviously made by the same losers day after day. I confess, I log on to tmz because they often have up-to-the-minute info. You just have to know not to go the comments section.

  • mimi

    @ judes I had the same problem there is a youtube video, just search for Kris and Justin Bieber

  • cookbunny

    judes, Letterman is pretaped in the afternoon to air later that night. By my estimation it’s already 5:30 pm in NY so they must be done!

    Oh thanks so much Mimi & cookbunny !!

    I haven’t seen this posted here- found this on IDF -so I thought this was the best place so it won’t get lost !!
    Kris has the highest selling AI track this week apart from the Glee track of My Life Would Suck!!Ironically Kelly’s own version of the song sold a lot less than the Glee track!!![ Has sold a lot all up though!!]

    So that’s great LLWD keeps on keeping on .

    So sales of LLWD were 36,000, +29 percent, 250,000 all up- Yay!!

    There’s been a notable increase in the past 4 weeks after Kris has done more shows & publicity!!LLWD is going in the right direction!!

  • savgal

    Anyone else besides me really like that they are calling themselves Kris Allen Band? Ryland beside himself that they were on the stage that the Beatles played on.
    Also, the TMZ thing was a hoot, and poor Katy to have bad dreams from the Tiger publicity. I need a shower after reading the comments. People can be gross on TMZ. Once again, so cool that Kris has a buddy like Cale w/him. Hope that is reassuring to Katy. Also, Kris’ momma and daddy raised him right. No fear of him being Tigeresque.
    Woo-hoo at the increase in LLWD!!! Slow and steady wins the race. I am sure Kris and band are just thrilled to be playing all these places.

  • TwigLA

    Those numbers for LLWD are impressive and very nice to see. I expect him to keep building on it. I LOVED seeing Kris as the headline in that USA today article. I felt like a proud auntie.

    I have a feeling this song will be played leading up to and following New Year’s. It’s the perfect countdown and resolution song.

  • JudyL

    Maybe the really good numbers for LLWD will make American Idol seriously consider Let It Rain for their elimination song. It really is a pretty song that grows on you.

    I hope it’s okay to put this here. It’s about Kris:

    From Grein at Yahoo music (Chart Watch):

    Kris Allen’s “Live Like We’re Dying” jumps from #38 to #28 in its 12th week on Hot Digital Songs. I’m glad this song is showing signs of becoming a hit. Allen took a lot of crap for beating Adam Lambert, a media sensation and the critics’ favorite, on American Idol. And he took it with quiet dignity. Allen has had a wild ride this year: scoring a tremendous victory, experiencing an unfair backlash and now apparently clinching a hard-won hit single.

    AI Now: Many of your fans are hoping you could team up for a duet in the future. Maybe an acoustic version of “Don’t Waste The Pretty?”

    Oh and I think this video shows, once again, what a great sense of humor Kris has. He so cracks my ish up. Love the Bieber bit, though still DWN that fetus with hair. But I will say that I do like Kris’s videos best because one can see his wry expression, really get the tones of his voice and get the funny, dry sense of what he’s saying. And zing! to getting Jim back after the height joke.

    WOW, I have to re-read that 3 times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. It is so rare to read / see a positive review of Kris outside of Slezak and Jim C. And the many good comments below that article are wonderfull also. To read : Kris Allen, quiet dignity, experiencing an unfair backlash in the same sentence. I really hope that the media will just give him a fair review from now on and not always think of Kris in relation to that other guy.

I still wished he would have commented on the sweaters as that would have brought a great big ole grin from Kris and the band. But, I’ll take that other fantastic comment instead–woo hoo!

    MJ, will you be posting the video soon? I want to see it again, please!! :-)

    That was worth staying up for. Kris sounded great, the band sounded great, plus adorkable Christmas sweaters! Win all around.

    Now I just want a picture of the band in their sweaters so I can decide which is the worst – er – best.

    hoosiermama,

    I think LLWD was at #28 and his album was around #140 before the show. Currently no change on LLWD and album is at #136. So not much have change so far.

    that was my impression too. Seems he likes Kris and his music :D

    What would I have chosen for the perfect remark for Dave Letterman to say as he was holding up the Kris Allen cd? Exactly what he said!……The First Of Many Cds!

    I can`t get over the sweaters!! That was frickin` hilarious. I`m so glad I stayed up for that as = traveled most of the day with my kids. Typing this out on my phone cuz I don`t have a compter here. I just can`t stay away!!
    The band sounded

    Thanks, snlw, for the itunes update! Well, no video has appeared yet, so I’m off to bed. Have to drive 4 hrs. tomorrow to pick up my college freshman and bring him home. Maybe I’ll make him listen to KA in the car–he’ll really love that! :-) Night all!

    someone tweeted Kris that the festive xmas sweaters are the new plaid … lol

    Album is now #131 on iTunes chart (LLWD still at #28)

    OK, I have a question on the AOL session.

    Is that only can be seen on aol.com ? Will it ever be shown on TV ?
    How does it work ?

    And Red Guitar is my favorite along with The Truth. So, I can’t wait.

    Kris’ album is currently at #129 so the effect on the sale sure isn’t as much as SYTYCD so far. I wonder why?

    Exactly. I still have 1 hour and 50 minutes to go and I have to go to work tomorrow. But, I’m determined to stay up late to see it live and not just from my DVR.

    Hahaha Jim and Kris have such an awesome chemistry. I love how they just light up the room when they are talking. It really does come off like it’s a conversation between friends. Take away the MTV microphone and it’s like they’re just buddies talking about random stuff hahaha :D

  • summersnow

    The KRIM show is always the best. Seems like that Justin kiddo is not too bad (not in terms of his talent but being friendly with Kris). No wonder Kris was praising him during the Philly show, though I still dun really get that kiddo’s talent.

    I remember someone has tried monitoring his single’s and album’s sales on another forum and found that his appearances on TV shows dun really have much impact on his sales, except for SYTYCD, which is a prime-time TV show and has millions of viewers watching. Otherwise, I guess these TV shows dun have much viewers in the first place, so they would not affect his sales much.

  • justjude

    Thanks for that!!
    That whole exchange was precious…Too Funny!!
    What a sweetie Kris remains, always. I love, too, that he can be quite
    dryly snarky without being offensive!
