Wow, great news for Kris that the album is selling better... and the single is kicking butt.

(still listening to that Rick Dees thing.. it's like an all day endevour I keep coming back to it.)

Coffee tables that are fish tanks - lol. It was great to hear his Album version of Heartless get played. Squee!

You mean they played the album version of Heartless on Rick Dees? (why?) Did they play anything else of his?

Yep, album version of Heartless (in the second hour - give or take a bit) - it ended up being part of a trivia question about Kris later on.

I'm still listening.. but I heard Live Like We're Dying in the 3rd hour. (OMG - Kris I love you man, but don't do this again for awhile - even though you are awesome at this) I haven't heard No Boundaries, but I read that they played it. So I don't know.

Itunes:
LLWD at #22!!! (so excited!) (in pop #15, and #180!)

Album is #82 and #20 in pop!

Itunes Canada also has Kris and Adam's albums on sale for $7.99 this January. Kris is #59 in pop in Canada for the Album - and I don't know what overall

Hey! Nobody mentionned it, but Kris went up to number 8 on the VH1 countdown (from number 13). Adam's FYE has been taken down from the list, but I guess that's because there's a video for WWFM coming soon. Or possibly because the song isn't charting (since a good part of the countdown is decided by chart positions, mainly on HAC, but also on CHR).

I seem to remember that Rick Dees was the guy responsible for "Disco Duck."

Anyhow, he had a TV show for a while but I forget what it was. I sort of liked him, he seems like a positive sort of guy.

Yup, just found this in his Wikipedia article: "In television, Dees hosted his own late-night show on the ABC television network in the early 1990s, Into the Night with Rick Dees."

Here's the Wikipedia article, including the info that he was replaced by Seacrest as host of the America's Top 40 show a few years ago. Imho he's much better than Seacrest, he seems like he's actually alive, not stuffed and mounted. At least he had great things to say about Kris, right? - and he seems supportive. Seacrest is like, "I need to check with Simon first."

Rick Dees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks! great news!
That video is helping sell the single...must...keep...voting...

PS...In the Kradam video, did you notice the two moments Danny was scorned? Maybe not scorned, exactly but... Once was the time Adam was all "He's mine, bitch!" when the three of them were onstage on results night and Adam and Kris hugged, with Danny feeling like three is a crowd. The other was during DSB, and Kris gives Danny a "wtf are you doing?" look. Why, I don't know. Any guesses?

Is it bad that I had that album? :) I seem to remember being very fond of it. *ahem* (I was, very, very young):p

Kris Allen vs. Taco Bell.

Looks like Taco Bell won't be sending him a stuffed mascot, like chick-fil-a did - lol

You're forgiven. This time.

Sometimes I hate a self-righteous healthy person. Kris, have a joint and a martini, eat some fatty red meat and loosen up, dude. (kidding...) Of course he's right, the Taco Bell Diet is ridiculous.

Kris seems to visit every fast food joint known to man. Although his favourite sandwich seems to involve olive paste.. WTF Kris? He's never struck me as obsessive over health food though.

Ha. Thanks. ;)

LOL - Kris and Matt are talking Taco Bell now, Matt is a fan, Kris just wants to stop the lies. Oh and Alex is cautioning against possible sponsership loss, lol.

Did you watch VH1 today Ross? I read somewhere that they mentioned or showed Kris's photo with Ben Savage during the countdown.

True. yeah, I was just kidding, but back during the AI season I read some interview with Kris where he talked about how he tries to eat healthy food, not abuse his body, etc., in fact he mentioned that was why he liked Chik-Fil-A. This is why when some people tried to say he chewed tobacco, it sounded ridiculous.

I guess he does end up eating a lot of fast food these days, but I don't think it's his preference. (I don't know!) Remember he bought Matt Kearney and his friends a trout for lunch? That's not Mr. Red Meat, right there. But he does eat his mom's comfort food (which sounds kind of gloppy and fattening. lol).

I never watch VH-1, usually. Do you guys get VH-1 in Canada?

So I guess there must be a part 3 coming soon.

omg. That person on the Kris thread is a real problem, huh? Now it has 'just tuned in' under another new name. And ignores the admonition against talking about chart positions. Not supposed to talk about tweets, either, right? Sick individual. (Look at their previous posts. Cray-cray.)

Ha good point, plus the duck, and the kangaroo. He's an adventurous soul I have to give him that.

The sandwich smackdown was funny. Did you hear the laughter in the background when Kris was all nuh-uh over the onions? That cracked me up.

Nope, no VH1 in Canada (or not my cable company anyway)

Totally cray-cray. YEP. 8O Multiple personalities too. Such a whack-a-doodle. They are completely transparent though, it's so obvious it's the same person posting the same broken record over and over again. I wonder why they bother, do they think we're all going to say..

"DAMN!! You're so right. What was I thinking? Why am I listening to this obvious loser? Clearly if Kris doesn't debut at #1 then there's just no point in listening to his music at all"

Cuckoo-bananas!

And I agree.. ignore, ignore, ignore.

No I put it back!! (I deleted by mistake when I was trying to "edit to add" the other part.) I was looking at the person's other posts under that new name. Weird, very bizarre (click on the username). Like the one that said the judges never praised Adam and were bussing him. This person is just one of those trolls, who like to derail threads. There was one on the CI thread (anti-Kalan) a couple of years ago. Similarly nutsy-kookoo.

I wonder why they bother, do they think we're all going to say..

"DAMN!! You're so right. What was I thinking? Why am I listening to this obvious loser? Clearly if Kris doesn't debut at #1 then there's just no point in listening to his music at all"

LOL!!

Ha!! I forgot about the kangaroo. Let's see if I can make up a nutty post about it. Like that nutsy-cuckoo poster would do.

Hm...

I know a lot of people think Kris is amusing, tweeting about eating kangaroo, but does he have any idea how many Australian vegetarians he is offending? Not to mention the readers of Winnie The Pooh whose favorite characters are Kanga and Roo.

I'm sure that Simon Fuller was extremely embarrassed when Kris ordered such a dish in a public restaurant. His lack of serious dedication to the consumption of plain, inoffensive food really disturbs me.

And people do not want to read tweets about food. It's unprofessional. He could use each and every tweet to tell people to buy his CD. Or to buy Adam's CD. Because, while Adam has very courteously advised his followers to purchase Kris's CD, in a very professional and interesting manner, Kris has neglected to mention Adam in at least 24 hours, thereby proving once again what a selfish and thoughtless person he is. I'm deeply disturbed by his lack of purpose, and I predict his record label will drop him by Thursday of next week. After all, he sold fewer copies in the first week than any other previous Idol winner. Just in case you didn't know.

I used to follow his tweets, but he is just too creative and entertaining for my tastes. I wonder why he thinks that being funny or having a personality will gain him fans. He doesn't even dress well.

I'm sure he will have a satisfactory career behind the scenes in music, once his fans realize there is nothing distinctive about his voice. Don't get me wrong. I like Kris. But he should have come in fourth. He's out of his league. Maybe he can go back to Arkansas and be a roofer, or work in Walmart. He would be much happier. Or he could crawl in a hole and disappear. Since he hates the spotlight, he would probably like that.
