I always get the feeling that every interview Kris does, the interviewer wants to pin Kris down in admitting that Adam is the better singer. Yes, I am a die-hard Adam fan, but I love Kris too, not his music so much, but his personality. And I love the both of them together.

On the second half of the interview, at around 3:07, does anyone know what Kris says? I’ve listened to it three times and still can’t make it out.

I remember reading somewhere that the idols are going to join Kris on the chorus of Hey Jude.

He knows that all the Adam stuff he’s asked about will fade out with time.
I liked his answer to the Adriss comment! Agree with him that it certainly doesn’t sound as good as Kradam and i think it’s just made up by people wanting Adam on top :p
One of the thing I’ve not seen so far in interview was questions about the album he made in 2007, ‘Brand New Shoes’. That would be interesting to have details on this

Does this chick not see other interviews? Why does she have to rehash all the same crap? Let’s ask some new questions, please.

Maybe “Falling Slowly” will be on his album and that’s why he’s not doing it on tour. (?)

she is the one who wrote the Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ American got it wrongÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ article on Yahoo after the finale result ( and it got like 37k comments). So no wonder she was that bias.

That would explain why I didn’t remember her. I tried to avoid the “OMG Adam wuz robbed!!” articles after the finale.

No matter whose fan she was, I found her overall interview style annoying and somewhat patronizing. I liked hearing more about the music and tour in the second part though. Kris managed to make it a worthwhile interview.

Technically, Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œweÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ tried to since a lot of these questions came up in his comcast interview. hehe..

as a big kris fan, i dont really want to know about his personal life or about his relationship with katy. i want to know more about the MUSIC, and what influences his music and maybe a little more about the missionary work he did, and also some of krisÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s likes and dislikes, which noone asks about.

Technically, “we” tried to since a lot of these questions came up in his comcast interview. hehe..

Yeah, it was funny how he brushed off Adris. He knows that it’s all about Kradam- even though Adris would make more sense since Adam likes being on top. haha

I’d like to hear more about Kris’ musical influences, what he thinks of BNS now (and whether he may revisit any of those songs on his album or in concert) and how all his missionary work affected him as a person. Unfortunately, I don’t know if Lyndsey Parker did her research on Kris’ background pre-Idol. Although it got a little annoying to hear her keep bringing up Adam and constantly referring to Kris’ humility, I don’t think she was trying to disrespect Kris. Having read some of her other interviews, it seems to me she is more of a fan than an experienced journalist.

Maybe once he goes off on his own away from the whole AI thing we’ll get to learn more about the music. Hopefully, if Kris becomes a successful solo artist, reporters won’t still be asking him mainly about AI and Kradam a few years down the road. I know all the former AI people like Kelly, Carrie and David still get asked about AI a little, but it’s no longer the focus of the reporters.

I was just happy to see any kind of extended interview with Kris. He’s become pretty good at dealing with the reporters — certainly much better than he was when he first made it into the Top 13.

HmmmmÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦all the Adam questions donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t really bother me. (yes, IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m a Kris fan) I donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think she treated Kris badly at all. As a fan, it DOES get annoying hearing basically the same stuff again and again. But honestly, there are questions heÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not allowed to answerÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦and I doubt heÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the type to reveal a lot about his personal life. People just donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know that much about him to base good questions on, I think thatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s why they ask about Adam.

as a big kris fan, i dont really want to know about his personal life or about his relationship with katy. i want to know more about the MUSIC, and what influences his music and maybe a little more about the missionary work he did, and also some of kris’s likes and dislikes, which noone asks about.

anyhow, i really cant blame lindsey cos she’s the reason why i discovered mj’s blog (i started reading the yahoo music blog when it appears in the yahoo home page, got bored of it after awhile and looked for alternative blogs) so have to thank lindsey for directing my path here :happy_tb:

As I watched this again there were a few things that stood out to me.

One is that he dismissed (kind of) her combined name for Kris and Adam – ‘Adris’, as sounding like a robot.

Next, is that his “First Lady” is there to help him make sure he’s making all the right decisions. I love this!!! Go Katy!!!

Finally, Kris is Kris and doesn’t try to be anyone but himself and even as a fan, this continually amazes me. He knows who he is, that’s for sure.

I hope he is able to make the well respected album he so desires to make. I can’t wait!!!!

What bothers me about the woman is not that she wished Adam had won. But that sheÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s been so patronising about Kris in subsequent articles, saying how she feels sorry for him because the world (including Kris) knows Adam should have won. That really upsets me.

I never heard of her before, but if I’d read that stuff it would upset me too. Here, the thing that actually bothered me most was: she was surprised he was really modest and that it wasn’t some kind of act.

That seems to have been her assumption before meeting him. I thoouight that was kind of weird.

Hmmmm…all the Adam questions don’t really bother me. (yes, I’m a Kris fan) I don’t think she treated Kris badly at all. As a fan, it DOES get annoying hearing basically the same stuff again and again. But honestly, there are questions he’s not allowed to answer…and I doubt he’s the type to reveal a lot about his personal life. People just don’t know that much about him to base good questions on, I think that’s why they ask about Adam. I don’t think Kris minds the questions…he doesn’t seem to. Now, after the album comes out if they are still talking about Adam, that might be a different story.

I know people are curious about him and Katy…but I think he’s purposefully standoffish concerning their relationship. I don’t get the idea there are skeletons in the closet either….and those are the things that people seem to want to know about, sadly enough. They could ask questions about his work after the tsunami, the time he almost died in Morocco, or the tumor, etc…but those things don’t involve drugs, alcohol, brushes with the law, or sex …so I guess they aren’t deemed interesting enough. GOOD news is no news!

So… we will be stuck with him getting questions about Adam (not that I’m not interested in Adam/Kradam, b/c I am!) unless of course, one of the others (Allison , Matt, Danny) steps up to the plate and does something “newsworthy”… then Kris will be asked about them too, LOL!!!
