Ben Mulroney doing the same type of show, I could understand. He's friendly to the artists and there's something regular about him. Seacrest is weird.

Oh! Have you listened to Ben's show ('cause I never have.. lol) I just never caught it - no other reason. I like Ben, he's pretty honest about the show in general.

And yay to the trending. I just posted something too. I think I'll post again, it's fun!

Twitter is gonna get ya, lol.

And no don't skip it. It's not that bad. Kris is a little tongue tied but he always comes across as genuine. Ryan on the other hand.. on the radio not so much. It's great promo though.

There's something I find condescending about Ryan towards Kris. It's weird, on AI Kris wasn't really able to talk to Ryan, either. I think he senses something he doesn't really trust. He doesn't seem as comfortable as he does in other interviews.

That's interesting. I've thought that too. I don't know how true it is, maybe it's the Ryan radio personality that Kris doesn't trust. Ryan always tries to be Mr. cool on the radio, where on Idol he kinda lets the inner dork out. But, I do think you're right. Kris doesn't trust him - whether it's Ryan or Ryan's radio show personality.

LMAO - Kris Allen I knew I liked you. You feel the same way about popcorn flavoured jelly beans that I do. :)

@krisallen4real If LA traffic was a jelly belly it would be buttered popcorn... There's only four people in the world that don't mind eating it

No, I never listened to Ben's show. But I just figure he'd be better. Imagine Ben interviewing Kris. He's very upbeat and friendly.

I hate jelly beans, so I never ate jelly bellies. But in a box of them all you can smell is the popcorn flavored ones. Yich.

Kris's mom twittered about Jelly Belly's yesterday - yeah, I know it's really weird that I know this *shakes head at self*.

So what's Kris's mom's twitter account? There are like 300 Kim Allens on twitter.

I'm pretty bored because I just can't read mj's blog any more. I can read the news, I just can no longer take the posts at all. It's like a lot of small town gossips, or something. I can't say I'd care to meet many of those people.

So how is LLWD doing on iTunes? As long as it's in the top 40 I figure that's good.

I just checked in the US store, the song is number 29, which is pretty good. It was 100 something (I don't remember the exact number, maybe 103?) this morning when I checked.

It's become worse than usual? I can't really imagine what they're saying if that's the case...

Slezak tweeted that his Réalité show, which will include his interview with Kris, should be online tomorrow morning. He also participated in the trending of LLWD!

I'm not following her, but I did check to see what she had to say about the single etc.

Kimberly Allen (allen_kimberly) on Twitter

Itunes - he's hovering on #29. I'm okay with that. :)

ETA: Hee - snap..

MJ's: I was reading for awhile. I think they're deconstructing the song note by note now. I can't do that.. If I like it I like it. It doesn't matter who, why or where they sang it. If it works it works.

I can't even read the b.s. because most of these people are transparent. Like the one, "hwc", who refers to Kris as "the kid who won idol," and never uses his name! (And defines the reason for his win as: "anybody but the gay guy.") How can you read anything by someone so biased and take it seriously? Just one example.

Most of these people never liked Kris, and now they're latching on to his doing a cover as a way to try to make him look bad. No matter what he had done as a single they would have found the flaw in it. Whatever. Basically, I've had it with the buzz kill. Whenever something good or nice happens they tear it down. Just don't need this crap any more. Good luck to them, hope they have happy lives.

Kris is 2 followers away from 160,000, on twitter.
Click to expand...

He's at 106,000, no? I read your 160,000 and couldn't believe he had gone from 104,000 yesterday to 160,000 in 24 hours!

The link for MJ brings me to the last page of the comments, was that what you wanted me to see?

Ha, pick any page.. of the last 300 they are all the same :)

I think MJ said she was going to shoot herself. If Kris is causing all this hullabuloo - can you imagine when Adam's single comes out? Lord have mercy. Between the two of them, they might actually do her in.

Oh, yeah, right, 106,000. Mis-typed. Or wishful thinking.

Well, now a lot has been added to the thread, so you probably have to go back a page or two page from the last page and read (or skim) from there. If you feel like it.

The Adam stuff will just be gushing. With the occasional "poor Kris" comments.

I didn't actually read back very far in the thread. (The other thread, about the single, is even worse.) I was only reading the most recent stuff to get an idea if it was 'safe' to read. But I had to get out of there.

Since the finale, the basic theme of the threads on that blog is that Kris is an idiot from hickville who chews tobacco (some actually claim this is true), who's getting shafted by his label and in a few years will be working in the production end of the business because he has no performing talent. And Adam is the second coming whose every fart is brilliant.

So when these same people comment on things like the single, or interviews, or what Kris wears, or whatever, it's pretty hard to forget where they're coming from.

Sometimes I prefer Idolforums. Just "It sucks." Or "I like it."

You know, I don't always agree with her, but still she must spend A LOT of time on that blog. Moderating all these discussions must be not only time consuming but could totally drive somebody crazy. I applaud her because I just couldn't do it.

Thanks for the indications. I might try to read some comments tomorrow because now my bed is waiting for me... good night!

So what's the site where you can track the single's progress on iTunes? Anyone have a link?

I just watched it! LOL at his "it must have been smokin'" comment!

So two new song titles that may end up on his album: Written All Over Your Face and Before We Come Undone (did I get them right? He likes long song titles...).

I love Michael Slezak and Kristen Baldwin together... LOL at the movie clip, I think I prefer when they use German or Japanese movie clips, it's a bit confusing to understand what the characters are saying and to read the totally unrelated subtitles!

I don't know the site to track iTunes, I just check the store directly... BTW, it's number 30 now in the US store.

I loved the interview with Michael. They really have a great rapport together. And Lol at the movie clips - that must be confusing for you missaddicted. :) I liked how they handled the Script question too.

30 isn't bad for a song that hasn't hit the radio. IMHO anyway.

This link for Ryan's radio show also has a bit of Ryan talking to Randy later on in the broadcast. It's interesting, maybe Ryan was playing Devil's advocate with Kris. Randy had some very nice things to say about the song. (Randy could become my new favourite judge.. just sayin' - lol)
