Video: Kris Allen answers Tweets from NewNowNext!

Contrary to all appearances, the world does not revolve around Adam Lambert these days. In fact, there is this other guy named Kris Allen who won a fair few of our reader's hearts even though he bested Adam in the American Idol finale.

Kris recently dropped in on John Polly from NewNowNext to answer Tweets from readers and to wish a certain group of readers Happy Holidays!

And for even more Tweets answered by Kris, head over to NewNowNext!

Shoot!

He is just irrepressibly, undeniably, and in all other ways, adorable.

Also, that book he read, A Long Way Gone?  I have it and have been trying to get through it since about 6 months ago.  It's a rough story to read.   I know it's an important book but it just shakes your ideas about humanity to the core.  I'm stuck in the middle 'cause I know what's going to happen and I can't bear to read.

Aww *swoons*. I still think

Aww *swoons*. I still think he was the right one to win Idol lol. And yeah the majority of Christians are nice to people, it's just ones such as the Catholic Bishops of Maine that give us a bad name. God please help us, I beg thee. Kudos to Kris for trying to dispel that stereotype by just being who he is with no apologies! :)

his first child

should be named Clive Staples.  i also think he should write a bluesy guitar ballad about how Susan is going to hell because she likes boys and make-up. 

but in all seriousness, he seems really cool and genuine.  great interview, and loved the shout-out to AE!

Also, talking about the majority of Christians,

Last night I sent an e-mail out to my (very) Republican extended family, linking this article about bigotry in 1963 as compared to now, and I explained I was renewing my commitment to speaking up when I encountered hateful speech.  I got an e-mail back from my cousin, a pastor at an evangelical church, saying he appreciated what I said and that I was right on.  So yay.

I think the good guys can win--on gay rights, freedom of religion, all of it--but only if we don't fall down on the job.

Luvvvv Kris

Adorable? Oh yeah! Talented? Definitely? <3

I'll take him over Adam Lambert ANY day.

But I'd still take Theo Tams over either of them! :)

Ah...

What a nice guy to make that video for all the AfterElton fans. I really appreciate it. He's gorgeous on the outside and inside. What's not to like? I hope him and his wife have a terrific Thanksgiving.

Someday, I'll be able to get past his one character flaw: heterosexuality. (yuk yuk)

Straight women did it

It's not Kris' fault that he's heterosexual. I blame it on straight women. If there weren't women out there converting men to the "straight lifestyle", then all men would be gay. (Think about it. You think guys are going to have _no_ sex?)

Love him!

Why? He's got a great voice, good first album, and a wonderful personality. Oh, and he's adorable as fuck, too.

Such a Genuine Guy

Wow, I didn't think Kris was ever going to ever make an appearance here again. I was so happy to read this because Kris needs some support after some lukewarm press about his album, which is actually good for a first effort.

Kris is always so funny and cool. And of course, he's a as cute as a button. I think he's just trying to enjoy what's going on. But I hope more people buy his CD so he can continue with his career.

I loooove Adam Lambert, but I will definitely also buy Kris Allen's CD. They are very different people and characters, but they have both immense charisma and talent. Obviously!

Please buy Kris's CD soon....

Kris's CD is being called a dud because it may not have sold 100,000+ copies in the first week. I'm not sure why his fans aren't buying--maybe they're waiting until they do their Chirstmas shopping?

I do know that having heard the whole CD that there are several songs on there that are bettter than his first single. I hope he releases a second single in a few weeks.

Oh...My...God...That just

Oh...My...God...That just totally made my evening!!!!! I voted for Kris every week of AI from the beginning and am so glad he won! I know that I was definitely in the minority during the live chats. I drove 9 hours to the Little Rock stop of the AI tour just to see Kris in his hometown. Come to think of it, my obsession with everything Kris may be perceived by some as crazy. Oh well, all I know is I am totally in love with Kris Allen!

I love Kris!

I love Kris, and I really like LLWD. I actually find myself liking Kris's first single more than Adam's. It made me a bit surprised, cause Adam has always been my favorite, well, he still is. It's just that Kris's mucis is more my taste.

I'm also glad that he is so supportive of Adam. He proves that religion has nothing to do with views on gay people. Not all christians are bigoted.

Kris Allen

seems like a really nice guy to have as a pal. Just sit down, knock a few beers back. He seems very sincere.

But how in the world did Adam Lambert resist those puupy dog eyes and sexy southern accent. I would have been all over that in a second!

kris Allen

Nice interview but I was distracted by how much he looks like Brett Claywell in the picture and on the video shot.  Also the other thing that got my attention was that he is wearing the same T-shirt Scotty has on Episode 2 of this season. Am I crazy? Maybe I shouldn't ask.

I also tend to associate

I also tend to associate Kris with Brett.  Both kind of similar type and visibly comfortable to embrace their "inner gay".

Kris is such i nice guy

i really hate the way he (and Allison) was treated on Idol, always being understimated to favour Danny Gokey. I remember some tabloid who tried to created controversy telling that he and Adam hate each other, but the body language don¡t lie, and it was very obvious they like each other.

Adam talk recently about his frienship with kris, nothing new here (he always praise Kris) but i find surprising (in a very good way) what he said about Michael Sarver, he basically said that Michael change his point of view, and they relationship evolves to a very good friendship
