Kris Allen is going to Haiti. Glamberts say he’s drunk.
I knew it! I knew the Glamberts would try and twist Kris Allen’s announcement about going to Haiti into something ridiculous. Are you ready for this one?
Kris Allen is a drunk.
Preposterous! Of course, not if you listen to some of those, um, what do you call them? CONCERN TROLLS? Kris Allen is currently in New Orleans — he’s about to sing the National Anthem for the NFC Championship (Vikings vs. Saints) and he did a couple of interviews beforehand. He discussed his upcoming trip to Haiti to help the earthquake relief effort and his excitement over singing the National Anthem before the game. So you know, he’s a drunk.
Anyhoo, judging by Allen’s exuberance and the fact he’s uh, in New Orleans, some individuals are claiming Kris Allen was high or drunk.
I am not saying this to offend anyone, but as someone who’s had more than a few cocktails in her life I can tell you with no doubt in my mind…..Kris was a little tipsy in that interview.
He is over 21. And he’s in New Orleans. Adam Lambert openly discusses his love of drinking on stage, so um, why is that acceptable? Drinking is fun! But come on asshats, must you try and use any ridiculous thing in a sick & twisted effort to tear the kid down? Do you really think its HELPING your equally sick & twisted efforts of…what are you trying to do? Do you want American Idol to say that they screwed up and recounted the votes from LAST SEASON and decided Adam Lambert is the true winner? Because the longer this behavior goes on, the more and more stupid/batshit crazy you prove yourselves to be.
He’s about to sing a difficult song, a capella, in front of millions of people. I guess it’s up to the individual whether that’s easier after a drink or 2, or not, but I don’t think it helps the voice.
After listening to the interview, I sort of love Kris Allen more. If he did have a few cocktails and oysters (how Don Draper/Roger Sterling of him!), sweet. Good for him. He also loves the New Orleans Saints. Hell, its also amazing how he can still politely answer the questions about Adam Lambert in EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW.
Kris Allen kills in interviews. THE GLAMBERTS ARE JUST HATERS. YOUSE ALL ARE HATERZ.
In my opinion, Kris Allen also killed the national anthem. I dug it. I hate the over-the-top diva shit, so…yeah, I dug it.
Top Idol 
OMG, i just listened to the interview.I like this funny Kris so much more!!!!!! Seriously if i ever meet him i would by him a drink. This was amazing. And the anthem was good!!! It wasn’t a disaster at all.
the glamberts are incensed and butthurt because while kris and other celebs have stepped up to try and do what they can to aid the relief effort, adam’s red carpet appearances and blatant famewhoring for the sake of famewhoring is looking extremely cheap, and shallow in the extreme. contrast lambert’s activities outside of that psa with kris’s, david cook’s, even david archuleta’s documented and ongoing effort on behalf of many charities and lambert sticks out like the shallow sore thumb that he is… his fans are like a bunch of emotionally crippled immature jerks that have me wondering really about their sanity, and emotional stability… how do you get to be so old and so stunted emotionally. i feel this whole thing coming to a head soon, with the glamberts getting the smackdown to end all smackdowns…
No, deez, that wasn’t my comment but I laughed at it. Thanks for the complement.
ROSS!!
Looks like we bagged another one. Sweet! 🙂
Yes!!!!!! Welcome to the fold!!!
Hi everyone!!! yeah ..like margie said we can talk here. I never attack people but feel to challenge insanity at times 😉
Welcome! Please stay awhile. I do slap people on the hand occasionally, but otherwise, its pretty easy going in these parts. (Of course, no true Glambert would EVER be caught loitering around here.)
I recognize mtlfan. WELCOME!! At least we get to talk here It’s a great place. 🙂
Why is Kris going to Haiti? What is he going to contribute? Does he have medical experience? There are numerous people in my area going there, but without exception, they all can assist medically– Many doctors, nurses and technicians. These are legitimate questions for Kris and fans. If you notice, all the stars on the Friday night international efforts for Haiti contributions did not even say their name or were presented. They minimized themselves for the larger cause. So my bottomline question is what does Kris have to gain by visiting Haiti at this time? He announced it with millions of viewers watching. That’s that about?
He was doing a radio interview. Hardly broadcasting it to millions of people, and it was mentioned almost as an after thought.
You can’t call the guy out on doing something good. Period. And how many people do you think they need to start REBUILDING?
Jesus. I just don’t get it this mentality.
Are you even effing kidding me? It’s not just medical expertise that is needed. Who the hell do you think is going to clear garbage & debris, haul water and distribute food, provide a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen, put up temporary shelters, rebuild homes? Doctors & nurses? They need people to do the selfish grunt work and other manual labor. You know, people that aren’t afraid to break a sweat in case it ruins their makeup.
Have an freaking clue.
*selfless. Just pretend you didn’t see the fail.
*a freaking clue. Good God.
When exactly did he “announce it to millions?” Did he have subliminal messages in his National Anthem performance?
OMG! You didn’t get the subliminal message???!??!!!?? If you look closely you will see that his expression changed on the word “there.” There = Haiti, obviously. He was so telegraphing that he was going to Haiti! And then that part about rockets bursting in air. He’s such a fame ho that he is expecting rockets to burst in air because he goes to Haiti!!!! I’m not kidding!!!! That is totally what he’s expecting!!111!!eleventy!!!11!!!!
It’s the same way he begged people to vote for Little Rock in Seacrest’s contest by narrowing his eyes once during a performance (narrow = Little, get it?) and then he had the gall the ORDER people to vote in the VH-1 thing by slightly raising his voice on a word that began with the letter V.
It’s all going to be in my book, “Forget About Hitler — Criss Allon Is Sending You Subliminal Messages and Making You Do Exactly What He Wants!!! Without Your Permission!!!!”
Dang, I missed it. I must’ve looked up “Kris Allen” instead of “Chris Allon” or I would’ve been able to find the secret decoder ring to figure out all the coded messages in the anthem. I JUST NOW realized that when he said “gave proof through the night” he really was saying “will be PROOF of my MIGHT’ because that’s why he’s going – PR – so he can sell more albums cuz he’s a hero.
I heard the subliminal message. All you need to do is listen to Kris singing the National Anthem backwards. That’s what my mom told me she did with Black Sabbath songs.
This is the most idiotic comment I have read here. Just good gawd. I swear do this people think..like ever?
`these…we need an edit botton TI 🙂
Sorry margie, but I couldn’t help but laugh at this. And dammit, I do agree on the edit button!
“..what does Kris have to gain by this..”
Maybe, just maybe it isn’t about Kris’s personal gain. Your concern is precious though.

Q: Why is Kris going to Haiti? A: He was invited to go by an (as yet) unknown group
Q: What is he going to contribute? A: IDK and neither does anyone else, but he has done this before, and I’m sure he knows the drill (don’t take up time, resources, don’t get in the way, etc…)
Q: Does he have medical experience? A: I doubt it. Medical experience is not necessary to unload a truck, distribute water/food, help with temporary shelters (he does have carpentry experience)
“There are numerous people in my area going there, but without exception, they all can assist medically– Many doctors, nurses and technicians.”…. [Well then, if they are ALL medical personnel, I guess there would be a need for other sorts of aid workers. (even filling out paperwork is a needed task)]
“These are legitimate questions for Kris and fans.” ….[These were legitimate answers from a Kris fan.]
“If you notice, all the stars on the Friday night international efforts for Haiti contributions did not even say their name or were presented. They minimized themselves for the larger cause.”…….[Good for them.]
“So my bottomline question is what does Kris have to gain by visiting Haiti at this time?”…..[Why does there have to be a “gain”? Is it so hard to understand altruism?]
” He announced it with millions of viewers watching. That’s that about?”….[How does a radio interview have viewers? I bet that local radio station was happy to learn that millions were listening. He was asked a question, he answered it. Shut the Fuck up.]
phyllis-“So my bottom line question is what does Kris have to gain by visiting Haiti at this time?”
Have you try answering your own question?
He is going for relief effort. TO.HELP. And for those saying this is just for some PR or some nonsense to promote himself or his own album, that’s BS. He can’t prevent if the media writes about it or if there is some sort of coverage. He is now a public figure.
Yes, he is not a doctor or a professionals you mentioned above but at least he had done this before. He already has an experience so I guess he knows what he is getting into.
uh, phyliss, Kris has experience in disasters. On the news they said they needed people to help build, and not just medical personal. To help rebuild/clear/give humanitarian aid, not just medical, and Kris has had previous experience.
What did Kris get out of going to Thailand after the tsunami?
Kris wasn’t on Idol during that?
What did Kris get out of helping children with AIDS in South Africa BEFORE Idol?
Some of you Glamtards are the stupidest, mindless creatures on the face of the earth…lol
Talk about low class, useless bitches.
Uh…usually when you go on philanthropic trips to third world countries, it’s not about what you have to gain from it (besides a better understanding of other cultures, a connection to the global community, upping your good karma points…) but what YOU have to offer as a service to those in need. Haven’t you ever thought of it that way? I’ve volunteered for Habitat for Humanity and Volunteer San Diego and it’s not like I did it for the free coffee or the T-shirts they give away for participating.
You know why the Glamberts are all so defensive about this? Because while Kris is going to Haiti and doing his part to help, Adam is showing up on red carpets just to be seen. Look at the contrast.
There. I said it.
We shallow people need heroes too.
lol, 8sourcandy.
lmao…you are funny 8sourcandy
BINGO! BINGO.
Just imagine if he announced he was going to Haiti.
That kind of humidity would wreak havoc on his hair.
Kris rises above the flak. I’d say he’s more concerned with helping these people than whether or not Tess or any other Glambert approves or disapproves of what he’s doing. They are not nor have ever been in the equation. They may think they are due to their egocentric world view and the perpetual ego-stroking from the middle-aged minions.
I can’t see him exploiting these people for AI or anyone else. I’m sure human dignity is first and foremost in his mind. In fact, I think he’ll put a stop to anything that doesn’t sit well with him. I will even go out on a limb and say Kris is there to work and only work. If IGB gets footage so be it. I personally want to see how things are getting done, what the volunteers are doing, how the people of Haiti are helping themselves,as well, to rebuild their country, a daunting task at best.
Good luck, erinntheread, with the writing. Hope you catch a break soon. Fingers crossed.
My husband showed me a comic recently that seemed apropos. It went like this: “The news will no longer be written by journalists.” “Who will write it?” “Uninformed blowhards who live in their mother’s basements.” It’s not really too far from the truth.
I think this one is either brain dead or trying to brand Kris Allen as a um, SCIENTOLOGIST.
Don’t you guys know that Kris did those early relief missions to Thailand, South Africa and other places to help people was because HE KNEW he was going to be on American Idol years later!!!11!!
It was all a plot for self-promotion to come in the future. Only the Glamberts are smart enough to catch Kris’s evil plot.
lol
What a bunch of low life/low class sick bitches.
They are beyond low. Kris has been doing this for years, and these cows are the lowest of the low to assume he is doing it for selfish reasons. If AI does use it, good for them. At least it shows that Kris is a good guy, and has been even before he was on the show.
*gasp* That asshat! How dare he see into the future and know that his philanthropic missions would come into play on American Idol? I want my 38 million votes back!!!!!!!!!
The glambots have established a new low for petty behavior with their Kris in Haiti haterade, even by glambot standards. No small feat.
I find myself hoping that Adam would announce that he’ll be going to Haiti as well, just to see the sparkle cows’ reactions!
That would be priceless! Doing a “180” on a dime can be tricky!!!
Chris Allon is a drunken loooser. Don’t you know that Adam is only trying to get in JT’s pants for the sake of the children?
Think of the children!
Zap2it praised Kris and dissed Adam again. The comments crack me up. You can see the regulars who are confused by the sudden cloud of glitter, and smell of manure that’s emanating from the area.

A personal fave…
Hee
Love it!
They shouldn’t use words. Ever. Not spoken. Not on paper. Not typed. Not ever.
The only thing I can say in reply to that post is…WTF? I mean really WTF? Cause the writing’s on the wall!
What makes me sick is that I’m a writer trying desperately to make my rent this month, and that….whatever the hell that crazy person is…is probably sitting comfortably in their middle class home siphoning off their kid’s college money on Adam crap like it means nothing. Gah!
Yes, I’m bitter. I may be homeless in two weeks, so I think I have a right to be. grrr
My point being that she can writer whatever she wants with no fear, and I can’t get paid to write any old crap…yeah, bitter.
Psst… Romance novels. You can make a living, especially if you put vampires or zombies in them. Just sayin’, one writer to another.
I still haven’t read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! I really want to, though. Books suck because they cost money. 😦
That would be great if they could give me an advance by next Monday. What do you think?
ETA: I’m not just looking for writing jobs. I’ll take anything at this point. I just have a totally unforgiving landlord. No rent=eviction. Unless I can say that I’d have it in a couple of days, I’d be out.
I’m working on it, though. I’ll figure it out. Heck, I have to. Sorry to go into that. For some reason that post just set me off.
I think we can arrange that. Got some duct tape and a shovel?
i’m so sick of Adam and Kris it bores me to tears. Please both of them just jump off a cliff already. Kris gives off a goody goody vibe so therefore drunk maniac is not good for christian boy and where is his wife? Is she MIA or what?
Here’s a “well thought-out” comment from Lyndsay Parker’s article:
“18. Yahoo! Music User – 37 minutes ago
Haven’t the people of Haiti suffered enough without having to be subjected to this cheap publicity stunt? Stay home Kris Allen, no one needs to hear your screeching and caterwauling at a time like this. I hope you donate EVERY PENNY to relief efforts instead of making a fast buck off the suffering of others. And to your friends going around posting positive comments for you, shame on you!”
LOL.
Screeching and caterwauling? Really?
Bwah ha ha! All right, who wrote this? Whomever it was, nice job:

Does anyone know how long Kris will be in Haiti? Or what he will be doing?
Does Kris have any special skill from his previous work overseas?”
Some think that he can cure people just by touching. Another group thinks that he can turn back time and warn people before the quake happens. How cool would that be? I personally think he can be another channel to raise awareness of the awful situation there? I don’t know.
That sounds like a “ross” response, I wonder if he has sockpuppets? 🙂
I’m a big ross-fan, he needs to be over here.
I’m convinced that Kris Allen’s ass has magical powers.
Instead of a laying of hands, there will be a laying of ass.
That’s right. I said it.
It had to be said.
The good news is that the Archie fans don’t seem to be dogging Cook anymore or vice versa, so maybe the Kris/Adam nonsense will die down in a year, too.
Sad, isn’t it?
That’s because there’ll be a new fanwar brewing. It gets super intense when it’s an all-male final two, so I guess if TPTB have their way, there won’t be a new set of cray cray tards, and the Kris/Adam insanity will go on for a while longer.
so I guess if TPTB have their way, there won’t be a new set of cray cray tards
Ruh roh. I didn’t think of that possible bad outcome of the “A GIRL WILL WIN” theme of Idol this year, that there might be no one new to suck of the toxins of Glambertia and free Kris from their attentions.
I take comfort in that fact that Constantine came out of a season with a girl winner. Even a mid-range Precious may be powerful enough to sway the Fraullums.
Sanjaya and Blake got a good share of fantarding, and they were in another season with Randy proclaiming that A GIRL WILL WIN, DAMN IT!
I don’t know why they care who wins or why they care if it’s even girls/boys or whatever — they make a ton of money off the show whether the winner sells any records or not, and they make a ton of money off non-winners like Daughtry in years they don’t like the winner. Randy can say that girls sell more records than boys till he’s blue in the face, but Clay vs McPhee in the Battle of the #2s? Clay wins by a landslide.
When there’ve only been eight seasons so far, with four female winners and four male winners, it’s pretty hard to have enough data for comparisons, but there’s no way either gender has dominated so far.
Constantine was Carrie’s year. Sanjaya and Blake were Jordin’s. There will always be one…
But winner/runner-up fanwars have never been intense until recent seasons with the all-male finals. That I know of anyway. I never paid attention to these things before.
The wank leveled at Kris regarding his trip to Haiti smacks of desperation to me. If it were any other celebrity going to Haiti, would the Glamberts or what have you throw such a fuss? Would they have the same issues if Adam himself decided to pay a trip to Haiti? I think I can guess the answers to these questions.
Kris had a good week: his video was #1 at VH1, he sang the National Anthem before one of the most highly-anticipated, exciting games of the football season, and now he plans a trip to Haiti to help out in any way he can, which, given his past experiences in missionary work, means that he might actually have some idea of what to do down there. But it seems as though that there are those who interpret any success of Kris’s as a knock against Adam, and I just don’t understand how one has anything to do with the other. If Adam is destined for great things, then nothing Kris accomplishes (or does not accomplish) should have any bearing on that.
Well, the Adam stans are nothing if not predictable, eh?
Here’s the thing about Kris Allen or how I see it. He’s got two passions: helping people and music. There is no ego involved.
My son was an altar server during his grammar school years. A deacon had told him once that “he walks humbly” on the altar and it was a privilige to watch. Of all the compliments my son has recieved that resonates with me the most.
Kris Allen walks humbly and it is a privlige to watch.

I just don’t see how Kris’ not so sucessful missionary experiences could qualify him in emergancy rescue.”
It sounds as though you have read something with details about Kris’ past trips. I have been looking for info about his missionary work. Could you provide the link to the article you read? It would be helpful to me. Who contacted Kris to be part of their emergency rescue efforts? I did not see that info provided in this post, or hear it in the interview! If you would, please let us know where you saw this, I would be interested in reading more!”
This comment is currently in moderation. Will it fly under MJ’s sarcasm radar, (it technically follows the guidelines,… or will I get banned? 🙂 ) Seriously though, Babybelle keeps repeating “not so successful” and “emergency rescue” (well, in her own misspelling-laden way). She’s making crap up. Where does she get the idea his past efforts were failures? Where is it said he’s doing rescue work? (I think the “rescue” part has come to an end) He’s unloading water from a truck for all she knows. Moron.
Deez I hate I get banned for saying and I quote Q3 what are your sources. I was thinking wiki but didn’t actually say it. I hate that you have to watch you say but they can say whatever they want to. It does not seem fair. They get to bait, insult, etc but Kris’ fans seem to get banned or modded. A lot Kris don’t go to MJ’s for this reason.
MJ treads VERY carefully around the crazies. She bans everyone who goes against the rules but since Kris fans are usually the one’s responding after the fact, they get screwed over often since they are going against the rules (i.e. it’s not a fansite thus one can’t respond to negative comments or obviously baiting comments b/c it leads to fanwarring).
See, here’s the kind of unnecessary crap that gets to stand, if I reply to this BS….I get deleted/modded/banned…yet this is OK:
“CRB

Jordin pretty much sh!t all over this performance.”
I thought babybelle was responding to another post? The one with an MD?
Yeah…she just responded to me, it was BeckyMD…when she copied/pasted it left out the name of the poster she quoted. My bad! (sorry Babybelle)
Yeah Babybelle is a Kristard. She must have been annoyed when some nutcase used the name “Belle” this weekend as a screenname and then proceeded to have a meltdown.
Some people can’t say anything nice about Kris. They complain that he’s boring, and then when he shows some real personality in his interview, they claim he’s drunk.
Meanwhile they accuse Kris — who is probably one of the most publicity shy people to come off Idol — to be going to Haiti as a PR stunt. Just ignore the fact that he has been going on missionary/humanitarian trips all over the world since he was a teenager — worked with AIDS victims in Africa, with tsunami victims in Asia, etc…
I don’t remember people accusing Adam of seeking publicity when he was encouraging his fans to donate to the DonorsChoose.org (not should they have — I thought that was a wonderful thing for Adam to support). So why make stupid, blatantly false, attacks on Kris?
I don’t understand why some people don’t seem to realize that Kris’s success or failure as a musician has NOTHING to do with Adam’s success or failure — and vice versa.
It’s hilarious reading the Glamtards’ meltdown to Kris’ successful weekend. He earns the #1 video on VH1? His cray-cray fans powervoted. He does a really good job with the NA? His voice is thin and reedy. He goes to Haiti on invitation from someone who knows about his past missionary work? He’s a famewhore. Watching them wet themselves over Kris’ success is so much fun!
And really, FU to Chris Sligh. He’s entitled to his opinion, but not once has he said anything positive about any Idol. He just throws stuff out there because he knows some media outlet will latch onto it and he’ll get his name in the press. What a bitter jerk he is. He can take his Sideshow Bob hair and shuffle along.
Oh, and GO COLTS!
But its okay whenever he says anything b/c he’s such a good Christian 😉
Kris Allen, The Famewhoring Missionary. It has a nice ring to it.
“I don’t understand why some people don’t seem to realize that Kris’s success or failure as a musician has NOTHING to do with Adam’s success or failure — and vice versa.”
Exactly!! Didn’t the competition end almost a year ago?
Yep. He killed it.
GO SAINTS!
I love that they brought up the Bourbon St smell in that interview. I was walking in Hollywood, and musing about how much the Hollywood Blvd smell sucks compared to the Bourbon St smell. Needs more piss, liquor, and vomit to level it out. Too much stale beer. I love that city so damn much. (NOLA, that is.)
He sounded sober to me, I wouldn’t care either way. Don and Roger would be proud, indeed. I would kill for some decent Gulf oysters, red beans and rice, or gumbo. I’ve made a friend of mine promise to take me to a place in Watts that has a decent shrimp po’boy. I’m that desperate.
My friends who went to LSU would be fuming if they heard that banter. heh
…oh yeah, crazy Glamberts…oh, look who’s losing their Oprah bump. Jeez, this stuff is too predictable.
YAY! A concern troll actually uses the word “concern”…he/she needs more subtlety:
“AML
01/24/2010 at 11:42 pm
I got to keep it real – Kris is better off sticking to smaller venues. His voice doesn’t have the range to take on a big song like the NA. I read where he still has the weakest selling album of all the winners? That concerns me, because Ruben Studdard started way stronger than Kris, and Ruben was liked by 19E, yet he is now considered one of the least successful winners of all time, next to Taylor Hicks. And both Ruben and Taylor were eventually dropped by their labels.”
(Yes b/c its been TWO months since the album was released, so that’s really an indication.)
I’m pretty sure this comment is from the same concern troll with no life who has been peddling this routine with like 10 different double accounts on Television Without Pity since, like, last summer. I hate people. I thought her stuff was constricted to that site but it appears she’s now spreading her delusions to MJ’s lol
Haha…@ the “AML” (Adam’s initials) I just noticed this…there was another similarly stupid post using the initials “KNA” (kris’ initials)…now I find this:
“Mitchel
01/24/2010 at 10:51 pm
If Kris had sang this on the show, he would definitely have fallen into the Bottom 3. The song over powered him. He just doesn’t have the range as a singer. It’s best he sticks to rehashing Heartless – as he has done – over and over again.”
(if anyone is confused, Mitchell is Adam’s middle name)
There was also a post from a “Neil”:
“Neil
01/24/2010 at 11:15 pm
Wow, they actually let Kris finally do something by himself – away from Adam??? Sorry, but he doesn’t have the voice to sing something as powerful as the NA. I give him a grade of C for effort.”
… which is Kris’ middle name.LOL! This person needs to get a new sock-puppet naming system…you don’t exactly need a code key to figure this one out, lol!!!
(the next 2 comments, I predict, will be using parents’ names)
lol secondhand embarrassment to the max
bwahahaha! AML, KNA, Mitchel, and Neil, (all “four” of them) have mysteriously reappeared in the same thread again! This time, it’s the Gokey video thread @ Mj’s! “They” all love Gokey’s awesome new video!!!!!111!111!
Haha! That totally reads like one of the imimperfect/allaboutg/(insert sock puppet name here) posts on TWoP. The sentences are all fairly short and words that should be written as one word are separated into two, i.e “over powered.” This person is starting to be more annoying that sweet and sour/silencefound/coconut ghost, and that’s saying something. At least s&s changed it up when she was being passive-aggressive.
Agreed, the sweet and sour/coconut ghost thing at least had some semblance of a personality in her pettiness. The imimperfect/AllAboutG/urbanblogger/etc/etc/etc routine is just exhausting.
“If Kris had sang this on the show, he would definitely have fallen into the Bottom 3.”
Well, the SSB was written well before the 1980s, so he wouldn’t have been able to sing it during “year you were born” week. It definitely wasn’t a Michael Jackson or Disco song, so it wouldn’t have cleared those weeks either. Maybe it was a top iTunes download at one time or another, or Kara & Randy could’ve chosen it for him instead of Apologize.
Whenever I see someone start off a post with any variation of “I’m just keeping it real” – it’s my cue to scroll.
I’m thinking he should be called “Saints” Kristopher now since he’s brought them good luck at both the games he was at LOL
I liked that he sang “fray” instead of “free”. It was kinda cute. Or a secret shout-out to The Fray for his cover of their cover of Heartless (*rme*).
That is my ONE and only peeve. I truly cringe when he does that.
Who Dat Think they gonna beat them Saints?! Woot. Ok cheering over.
KNA left this little gem at mj’s lol
“This guy had no business singing the National Anthem. A pure travesty. ITA with Chris Sligh. BTW, what is Kris doing in Haiti? Is he trying to promote his album? I mean, you hardly near anything about his humanitarian efforts. I guess he is too busy trying to promote himself.”
Came across this acapella group doing LLWD on twitter.
The idea of Kris being drunk right before a performance is funny.
The nutty tards seem to be angry at Kris for getting attention this weekend (vh1, itunes show, interviews, SSB at game, etc). When they are angry they grasp at straws which is why we see them desperately trying to find fault with the guy. I must say that my favorite is their claim that Kris is going to Haiti for selfish reasons (i.e. getting publicity for himself). Talk about delusional and out of touch.
Say what they want about being drunk, or that NA sucked… I heard the Saints won? 🙂
Now, if I remember correctly, didn’t the Dolphins win when Kris performed at the tailgate party? Also the Lakers too when he sang the NA last year? I see a lucky charm… LOL.
/tarding over. 😛
Well then for Godsake someone book him for a SB event in a Saints jersey! Who dat!
Whoops. Apparently I had one fact wrong: Saints also won during the Miami gig.
But yep, he should sing at SB if Saints wants to win. LOL.
Not so lucky for the losing team!
Alcohol rules. It’s legal, relatively cheap, and can be purchased in most grocery stores in some form or other throughout the country. So, I hope Kris was participating in the national past time and got himself good and drunk in NOLA.
On the other hand, the Adam/Kris fan bullshit is boring me to tears, and there isn’t enough alcohol in the world to remedy the situation. The Plaidistans are all, “Ooooo! What’s Adam doing on that red carpet? How dare he appear in public!” And the Glamberts are all, “Oooooo! Why is he going to Haiti? As a PR move?” Shut the fuck up, the lot of you. These are a couple of sweet guys trying to make it in the most hellish business on the planet. LET THEM BE!!!
*Takes another gulp of some of that fine Caribbean rum*
THANK YOU! A-FREAKING-HEM TO THAT MY FRIEND.
*APPLAUSE*
Chris Sligh tweeted that Kris sounded pitchy and the fans are going at him. He’s replying back to them too.
I thought Kris sounded great…a little nervous…but great.
Chris Sligh… slightly less relevant than Randy.
I love Chris Sligh. He tells it like it is, or at least like he sees it….unless he deletes it, but that’s another issue. He shouldn’t have to be afraid to have an opinion. I know he doesn’t have that opinion because he’s anti Kris. It just wasn’t for him, dawg.
I wish more Idol contestants would read that advice post from last season. It was spot on.
Heck, I’ll love him forever just for that “Hi, Dave!” That was one of the greatest moments in the history of Idol!
…and I disagree with Sligh, I just think he shouldn’t be piled on for expressing his opinion on his own Twitter feed. Seriously, if you don’t like what he’s saying, unfollow people. He did a great job of calling the Kristards out too. heh
Actually, I usually am all about maintaining people’s privacy, but I have little sympathy for Sligh in this case since he is very public in his comments about other Idol contestants. I normally love Sligh’s comments, but I did a complete WTF with his comments this time about Kris Allen and the NA. I don’t mind if someone doesn’t like one of my favorites, but Sligh’s musical facts and analysis are just completely way off this time. I have no clue what Sligh thought he heard, but I flat out disagree with Sligh musically about Kris and the NA.
I am not a professional singer, but I can analyze the hell out of a singer’s performance and I have excellent hearing from a musical standpoint. The NA is one of the few songs I know inside and out. Back in high school I even did a project where I compared and contrasted multiple versions and it has been like an ongoing project since then. I have tried out various versions of the NA which is not the norm for me with a song. I think my issue has more to do with being a NA-tard than it does with being a fan of Kris. LOL
Normally, I don’t really know a song well enough to have such a strong opinion. Sligh’s comments about changing pitch multiple times is a major WTF to me. Kris sung NA more in the vein that I think of as a R&B version, which makes me wonder if Sligh mistook Kris singing a different note than the note that Sligh expected as being off-key or “changing pitch” when it was really a very slightly different arrangement. I am going to try to behave and not guess anymore than that and leave it as a disagreement with Sligh.
I really do try to respect people’s right to have an opinion, but it made me realize that Sligh knows a whole lot less about music than I previously thought that he knew. So I think the real problem may be that I thought too highly of Sligh before now. I feel mostly disappointed. My opinion of Sligh went majorly down.
I do agree about not piling it on, so I did not respond to Sligh. My only comment about Sligh is here on this thread. So I am not to blame for any of the Kristards, but I kind of like Kristards sticking up for Kris a little bit, even if this is not a good way to do so. Ignoring Sligh on this one would be the best thing though (which I did not follow my advice for this post LOL.)
You seem majorly overdefensive js.
Sligh can say whatever he want on his blog, or his Twitter feed. That’s his space. As long as you aren’t after him for criticizing your beloved he’d probably appreciate your opinion, and even converse with you.
Soapbox, I wasn’t even replying to you. It’s all good. Plus, you’re probably right about him being thrown by Kris arrangement. I’ve hating something the first time I heard, only to go back and realize my dislike came from not getting what I initially expected. I, on the other hand, loved the down home, Southern style arrangement. My fave NA is the Marvin Gaye ’83 NBA All-Star Game, so there you go.
If anyone ever finds that supposedly amazing Toni Tenille version, post the link. I’ve been hearing about it for years, but I’ve never found a video.
Toni Tenille committed so many other crimes against music.
After Cook sang at the NBA finals after his win, I tried making a post on memorable NA performances. All I can recall is Whitney Houston’s, which I absolutely loathed. But it was at the super bowl when we had our first war in so many year. And people were excited we were going to war, not b/c we were trying to good, but I think they were just excited we had some sort of armed conflict because it made things, uh, exciting. Therefore, Whitney Houston’s Star-Spangled Banner was so perfectly timed and packaged…yeah, you know what I mean.
Which is exactly why I want to hear this. Her prior crimes are, I think, where why it was so shocking that she was good.
I remember that post. Seriously, cleanse your NA palate. This is the only one I can stand on repeat listens…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRvVzaQ6i8A
…Kris totally ripped him off. 😉
That tard Tess is now saying that Kris should of never said he was going to Haiti. It’s his fault for the flack. Why because he cares more about helping then posing on some red carpet? They can’t stand that this makes him a great person.
Kris could walk on water and Tess would call him a show-off.
And nyc and Q3 would explain why it’s not such a big deal, while Mary103 spouts off about how amazing it was the time Adam swam in the ocean.
It’s just so predictable.
hahaha… i noticed this insanity.
hey i know several of you from MJs.
I’m happy i found this place… i’ll come back 🙂
Why do you even want to leave?
LOL Hi mtlfn!!!!
Please do! 🙂
If Kris walked on water he would be showing off.
True.
Arrgh. Replied to the wrong post. D’oh.
I love this response! Babybelle responds to Tess and tiger82.

Is there now a dire need for volunteers?
Yes, there is a need for volunteers. A man in my area just took a week off of work, because he has a plane and there is a need for someone with a plane who can fly supplies to Haiti.
Sometimes the best thing to say in life is nothing at all. In hindsight Kris should have never opened his mouth about his volunteer trip to Haiti. He set himself up for a lot of flap without even realizing it, I am sure. Hopefully next time he does something like this he will have learned his lesson and not talked about it or waited to talk about it when he comes home. Altruism is always a double edged sword.
I’m going to have to call bull on this. People are going to criticize Kris regardless of what he does, and it has nothing to do with them thinking that his volunteer work is a bad thing. When Adam asked his fans to donate to one of his favorite charities, people criticized Kris for not doing the same thing. Nobody would ever step up to help others if they were worried about being criticized, since there will always be people who find that easier than actually doing something themselves to help. Kris is a very smart person, and he’s had to deal with a certain fan base for almost a year now, and I’m pretty sure he knows where their criticism stems from. Kris’ concern is helping the people in Haiti, not placating irrational people who aren’t going to be happy with anything that he does, unless it involves him failing. Frankly, these people’s opinion of Kris doesn’t mean a darn thing.
TI,
This is my favorite version of the Star-Spangled Banner by En Vogue. Go to 4:45 on this video to hear them. IMHO, they sang circles around Destiny’s Child.
Here’s the link in case I fail at embedding:
Oooh! I just found a video of them singing just the song:
Kinda scary that a Paula-ism like “pitchy” has entered the lexicon. Oh, Paula. You’re so influential!
That word infuriates me! “PITCHY” IS NOT A MUSICAL TERM!!!!! There, I feel better.
It’s more of a Randy-ism.
Pretty sure Randy copped it from Paula, but it hardly matters. They are both buffoons who make up words that mean nothing.
Yay alcohol! I mean…what.
Just when I think they can’t get any worse… UGH!
He didn’t sound drunk in the least. Jesus God. Those Glamberts are enough to drive anybody to drink.
PR? heh funny those other missions he went on before he was the American Idol.. what were those for? No camera crews. He almost died on one and gave his prized guitar to a local impoverished singer on another. God he’s such a douchbag publicity whore. My eyes could not roll any farther back in my head. Nothing to do at this point but point and laugh at the sparkle cows.
I heard the interview, he sounds like I do when I get excited, and I don’t drink. But even if he did, so what? He’s in New Orleans, at the NFC Championship getting ready to sing the national anthem, the crowd is all whipped up, he’s a huge football fan. He’s not going to sound like he just slammed the snooze button for the third time.
Oh Glamberts, now that Kris has disproved your boring theory, you just have to find something else to justify your resentment, which is *counts fingers* 8 months too long!!
TI, I love how they piss you off. It’s how I get when I read anti-Adam crap. I’m learning to roll my eyes more and react less. Today I lurked at both Ricky and Queerity(or some shit) and nearly rolled my eyes right out of their sockets. 🙂
PS
Kris sounds a little drunk! But I like that! In fact, I’d like to think he was slurping jello shots off the ass of a really hot stripper right before his interview! 🙂
http://ow.ly/1nwohM
Oh, they don’t piss me off. They make me laugh. Trust me.
And yeah, he could have been drunk. WHICH WOULD BE TOTALLY COOL.
I know! I hope he doesn’t get in trouble. Adam drank on stage. He talks about drinking all the time, but Kris has one or two cocktails in NEW ORLEANS and he will get grief. It’s like a kristard mocking Adam’s fashion sense for wearing plaid.
Are you kidding me? Our RAWK GOD is the only one who’s allowed to be a drunk! He’s the Wild Idol!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I think I was just trampled by a Sparkle Cow. (pauses to wipe glitter, black nail polish, and Cheeto dust from my smashed laptop.) 😉
I used to be a fan of Adam too but his fans have ruined him for me. I know it’s not fair to Adam but its like guilty by association. I am human and this real life not homophobia.
“But come on asshats, must you try and use any ridiculous thing in a sick & twisted effort to tear the kid down?”
Yah, pretty much. It’s what they do.
I love how the one time Kris is actually AWAKE and cheery for an interview, everyone thinks he’s drunk. Clearly everyone needs to go back and watch those videos from Philly—he actually *does* have a personality. Shocker!
Oh, and the DJ tweeted that he 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” http://twitter.com/B97JennaJ/status/8163584779
But was he high? 🙂
Well, I guess the DJ who did the interview heard about these rumors because she tweeted that he was a sweetheart and 100% sober. Oh, and he just killed it on the anthem.
Aw, he did well on the anthem? Ima get my popcorn, the Glamberts are going to lose their mind. Too much good stuff from Kris lately, lol.
He did great on the anthem.
He also looked really good 🙂
Yeah, I agree he killed it in a bad way. I actually like Kris, but that sucked big time. It’s beyond his range. He was terribly pitchy. He needs to stick to what he does best, and that’s not the National Anthem.
LMAO.
Do you really just imply that he shouldn’t sing (or even try) the national anthem? Of US? where he is a citizen?
So, what should he sing then?
Someone on another thread suggested Heartless 🙂
Big shock with the posts on MJs, lol. He’s just doing it for PR! nyc, Tess… UGH. Nasty old hags, their bitterness is just above and beyond. I thought people were bad last year with David vs. David but this year is insane. It makes me root for Kris even more.
I was glad that someone pointed out that if Kris’ trip to Haiti being filmed ruins it because it is PR… that doesn’t that mean that Adam’s PSA was… also for PR?
I just scanned through some of that on MJs. Unfortunately, no suprise. The Glambert/Sparkle Cows ARE officially the worst AI tard group ever. They should drink to that 😉
I swear, it’s like a trainwreck.
Psycho hosebeasts.
