Kris' assistant? Or manager? I'm actually not sure. I just read that it was her posting the videos. Maybe SleepinIn will have a more definitive answer!

No, the "private" videos of Kris! The balut eating video, the boa video, the fire video and the bungee swing video.

LOL - oh, yeah.

Kris was clueless about those. "How do people know this stuff? it was 3 in the morning..? no one was awake..? in Singapore?"

Just briefly...apparently, Slezak and Jim and Lyndsey are all saying there was quite a walkout after Adam performed.

That's pretty rude, and rudeness bothers me, especially rudeness to Kris -- but I can't get too bent out of shape over it.

For one thing, when people claimed this happened to Kris on tour (though I think it happened only sporadically), it wasn't attributed to any one group. In fact, many people acted as if it was a general audience feeling about Kris. They got a lot of mileage out of that. Most likely, it was bitter Adam fans, but it could always be claimed otherwise.

What I actually like about it happening at the Kradison concert is that there's very little question that it was Adam's fans walking out on Kris. Because (unlike on the tour) almost all the fans there were Kris, Allison, or Adam fans.

I guess what I like about that is that it can't be said to be Kris's fault. It's just these asshole fans, acting like asshole fans.

Yeah, I agree with your post ross. Very bitter and immature people. If the message they wanted to send was that Adam was worth seeing live but not Kris, well it failed. It just made them seem like idiots.

Yeah, missaddicted, they did make themselves look like idiots. I'm pretty sure Kris wouldn't want them around if they're that bitter.

Oops, I see I'm posting the above at the wrong time. I must add to the "yays" about the The Scientist. Though I don't even like the song much. It's just always fun to see him try something new so I'm excited.

Exactly! Their loss. Also, they left.. Kris fans got closer to stage.. excellent video result. Win Win. They deserve to miss the show. It happened during the INXS shows when Marty (second place guy) opened for them, there was that small portion of his fanbase that was determined that they would show their displeasure by walking out after they played. Who knows it could even be the same bunch of people. It's just stupid.

The Tampa crowd tonight was LOUD - Kris tweeted that they were loud and from the live stream they really were. I can't wait to see video of BWCU (hopefully it exists) because it seriously sounded beautiful tonight. And the SCIENTIST!!!!

I was at a party tonight and the conversation got around to my having seen Kris perform back in December, etc., and one person said, "You don't hear that much about him." (Though she had heard LLWD on the radio, and had heard about the Kradison concert last night-- apparently that got some media attention. She had heard nothing about the Jingle Balls or the Asia mini-tour).

I told her what some of Kris's performances are like, now, and how funny he is in his interviews, etc. She said "Good! Because he's a nice guy and even was so humble he said Adam should have won. I'm glad he's coming into his own." She then made a comment that kind of surprised me, about how he was so good-looking and talented, basically, fan-and-radio-friendly, that he could have just acted like he deserved it when he won, and taken all the glory for himself, but instead he was really nice to give all that credit to Adam. It was kind of like she was saying Adam was the underdog. Interesting.

We then talked about how he tends to lay low, and I mentioned how he's going to Rwanda, and Haiti, etc., and she was like, "He redefining what it means to be a star." Meaning (I guess): he's not about the attention or the hype.

We then compared notes on the Idols concert (she was at the one I was at, but we never ran into each other).

That's really cool! You know what? I think she's right.

How'd she like the concert?

Um, how'd we miss this? Kris is #5!! on HAC and #16 in Pop!

The Script is right behind Adam in Pop.. by about 60 spins.. I kinda want it to pick up and pass Adam. After all the Script brouhaha it would be total karma /evil me

As to the first part: Holy frak!!! Yay! He's Top 5 on HAC. Jeepers. Pretty good for a cover.

As to the second part: Yes, you are evil and I approve. Then again, if they pass Adam they may also pass Kris. Karma can come back and bite you in the ass. Let's not encourage The Script too much. . . . . .

Back to the Idols convo at the party: she and I then talked mostly about Adam, Anoop, and Matt. I forget what she said about Adam, just that he also seemed to come into his own, in the concert, vs. TV, and she thought he was great fun. I said he made me laugh out loud (MJ also said this), but she didn't get why. She said she thought Anoop was great, and I agreed (he was way better than on TV). She then said he would never be a star, but he did a great job in the concert. I said Matt did, too, and she agreed, but like me she was more impressed with Anoop (most people were more impressed with Matt). She liked Megan less than I did. She loved Beggin' (me too). I then brought up Lil, and she said it was amazing how the show can make us see someone was great when they want to, and that Lil was presented as so interesting, and then onstage...nothing much. She thought all three girls were weak links in that concert. I pretty much agree.

By the way, Kris looks lousy with stubble. (jmho.) It's like the stubble wears him, not the other way around. It's all I can focus on, on his face, for some reason. That whole 28 minute interview, some part of my mind was focusing on the stubble. And not in a good way. It looks like John Mayer's underarm hair. Shave, Kris.

I don't hate it, but ... I don't know, it's just not real attractive, is it?

That interview was great, btw, thanks.

Good point re: Karma

LOL. Kris is so lazy about the shaving and haircut thing. He'll probably clean up for Valentines day. But we won't see him for ages now. I laughed when the interviewer asked him about pickup lines "hey do you like me?"
