Bon Ton Roulet? LOL! That has no meaning in French.

If they mean "Let the good times roll" like on that website, it would translate in theory to "Laisser les bons temps rouler", but you can't actually say that in French, it doesn't mean anything. Expressions are really hard to translate, and direct translations are rare. So if that's what Kris and the woman were trying to say... oops!

LLWD is at #21 on iTunes and WWFM has fallen a bit to #27. Oprah bump is apparently over, Ellen bump to arrive shortly.

I like how Kris is holding fairly steady in the 20's and occasionally going into the teens, for a few weeks, now (I think). That's a pretty solid seller.

I heard LLWD twice on the radio when I was out driving today. Both times, it just played. They didn't say before or after who was singing it.

I think someone is drunk (or something) on the Kris/anthem thread, you-know-where. The posts of one person (an Adam fan who is usually nice to Kris) are a little odd.

Kris was definitely slightly drunk in that interview. He was slurring a bit. Understandable, since he was on Bourbon Street and he was having a good time. But he shouldn't drink if he's going on the radio. Watch that, Kris.

I have a question that isn't related to anything here. Remember when David Cook was chastised for saying he was bringing a winter coat to Vancouver? If they don't have winter weather in Vancouver, how come they're having the winter Olympics there?

Well, they have a bit of winter weather, but it's mostly rain. I checked the forecast for the next week and it's almost all rain. Yuck. (It's also supposed to rain here tomorrow, depressing, I don't want rain in January.) The weather is definitely warmer there for sure, it's all in the 40s for the next week. Most of the competitions will happen outside the city though, they have great mountains for skiing and all that.

Oh, I see. Colder in th mountains. Makes sense. By the way, the day Cook wanted to wear a winter coat, it was, like, 42F in Vancouver. I checked online. I would wear a winter coat if it's 42 out. That's not exactly spring-like! Whatever.

The person who interviewed Kris says he was "100% sober." I thought he sounded a little toasted, but maybe I'm wrong.

But what about the school of style guy? SleepinIn has gone away.

Oops, sorry I was taking an IQ test on tv.. it all went to hell at the end when the questions ended in a car chase. Oh, me oh my.

School of Style guy.. I'll see if I can find it again - but remember the girl that went to Vegas with Kris and the band to style them. She has a link on her blog to her boss (I guess) and he had the pictures of the wall of his blog. (I'm like a gumshoe) :)

I think it's awesome.. and also pretty cool since Kris didn't have the Oprah bump. :)

The Olympics bid is actually Vancouver/Whistler isn't it? I think a lot of the outside events will happen in Whistler with the Mountains.

Kris was definitely slightly drunk in that interview. He was slurring a bit. Understandable, since he was on Bourbon Street and he was having a good time. But he shouldn't drink if he's going on the radio. Watch that, Kris.

The girl that was interviewing Kris tweeted (because she was asked I guess) and said that Kris was 100% sober.

1. Kris Allen was my first on air interview. 2. He's a sweetheart. 3. He was 100% sober. I can't wait for the national anthem! Go Kris

I guess it depends what kind of winter coat! If I wore my winter coat at 42 degrees, I would completely melt! It's colder than that here... usually. Pretty warm this winter.

Kris did sound a bit tipsy, maybe he had a beer or two, but it just made him less shy! I didn't really think it was a problem.

But what do you mean ending in a car chase, I don't understand! (Clearly not a genius here either!)

I had to check as well for the temperature, I still don't have a clue how to convert the two, but 42F is around 6 degrees Celcius.

6 degrees? Okay no coat here either.. 6 degrees is like summer in the winter.

This is the blog - it's weird

They had 3 questions at the end of the test that were based on a video clip of a car driving (really fast) and they tell you that you start out going west and you have to say what direction you end up.. I didn't have a hope in hell. lol

I didn't completely suck, but I didn't like those last questions.. or the logic questions come to think of it, lol.
