    Kev you are really paranoid. Where is your proof they are Kris fans posting on Adam’s blog? Adam was also not liked very well by Danny Gokey fans so how do you know it is not them posting? You have to have proof before you fly off the handle like that because it makes YOU look like the idiot. You are really making Adam fans look like kooks, and I know many of them are not but are good people. If you have no proof, then go back to Adam’s blog and get some before you continue to make an a$$ out of yourself.

    • Kev

      Kyle you keep repeating yourself, hey if you don’t like what I say, don’t read it. Adam’s fans are not kooks, you just see one fan here. Why do you keep bringing up that it could be Anoop fans or Danny Gokey fans who do the nasty posting? I think it is YOU.

      • wm

        Kev, If anyone is repeating himself it it You and NOT Kyle. Time to move on dude. You know what Kev? It’s actually ok to be a fan of one or the other without sounding like a baboon! Ok, imaging this!!! I’m a Kris fan but this Adam is great too! I support both of them! Wholly shit, Kev is going to freak out over this one! Imagine… a Kris fan that actually thinks Adams is great as well! Do I get an extra dollar for that one?

      • Kev

        LOL Wm, I read your little comment where you were going to get “rid” of me. Bring it on! You are so funny. Hell if I had a dollar I would give to you dude. Just because your attempt to be like “me”. Oh cool so you are a fan of both……well let me jump for joy for that one! Now if you want to be like me you gotta come harder………lol Funny stuff WM funny stuff!

  • KrisKrazy

    I’m like dying! I don’t wanna spoil but everyone says the songs are amazing! Grrr! Kris Allen rocks my world!

  • Tim

    Kev you are not worth the time.

    I actually like this guy and I hate AI. He is an actual musician. Is this this his first time writing music and is there music not AI related from him

    • Starr

      Yes, there is, Tim. He produced an album all by himself before he went on American Idol. It is called “Brand New Shoes”, and the songs on there are pretty good! Unfortunately he didn’t release a lot of copies, I heard there were only 500 copies or something that he made, so we’re not able to purchase the actual album. You can hear the songs on Youtube, though. On this new album, he has one song that he wrote before he went on American Idol, and it’s called “Red Guitar”. Hope that helps.

      • Tim

        thank you. Will look this album up.

    • Kev

      You say I am not worth the time yet you did mention me in your post, thanks man! lol

  • Danny

    I like what I’m hearing so far. Didn’t care much for Kris’s single, but these little snippets give a hint of good things to come.

  • Vada

    I am a fan of Kris Allen. I love his voice, his style, and his new album. My favorite snippets are Before We Come Undone, Can’t Stay Away, and Let it Rain.

    It is funny that Glamberts are declaring LLWD a failure. They did try their best, with their ‘cover’ campaign, but didn’t kill the song. It is now up to #27 on Hot AC and close to breaking in to the top 40 on the Top 40 chart.

    Anybody have any Glambert troll spray repellant? Geesh! Why can’t they celebrate their guy and leave Kris alone? It is too bad that Glambert bores them, so they have to troll Kris articles to amuse themselves.

    • LLWD is a failure??

      OMG really???????? Where and when???

      • kct

        LLWD is certainly not a failure in the NYC market- Z100 and WPLG are playing it on a consistent basis. For you, for me, for you, this is a great market to be successful in.

      • Starr

        Kris’s radio promo shows in December will also do the single some good, if not the entire album. He’ll be singing alongside hitmakers like Taylor Swift, John Mayer, The Fray, Owl City, etc and it will definitely bode well for his sales and his growing fanbase. I’m very happy with the support he has gotten from stations in NY, and the others around the country that are slowly putting LLWD on constant rotation. Now, if only California would join in on the fun as well. Unfortunately I have a feeling Ryan Seacrest’s KISS FM is not a huge fan of Kris, and they never play LLWD. I don’t even know if they’ve added it yet.

      • Tina

        Its not a failure. I am sorry, I hate to bring this up (adam fans) but someone I know who is an Adam fan has repeatly called up Z-100 and has tried to get them to play Adam’s new song. I guess they don’t care much for it because they won’t play it. THEY DO PLAY KRIS LIKE 3 TIMES A DAY…just thought that was awesome, for Kris anyways!

      • Starr

        Well, Tina, in all fairness Z100 probably hasn’t added Adam’s song yet, so we can’t really compare the success of both. What we do know is that LLWD is increasing in rotation on the radio, and it’s creeping back up the charts. It’s not soaring to number one as much as we’d like it too, but it’s doing well for a song that has received little to no promotion. I wouldn’t stress out on it too much. :)

      • Tina

        Hey Starr. You won’t see me stressing. Other fans might be. I am being mean but heard on US mag that 75 percent do NOT like that other person’s album nor are they going to buy it. I guess he shot himself in the foot with that um “interesting” cover. Sorry, done being like those OTT fans.

    • wm

      Vada, I don’t really think it’s fair to call all the negative comments as being ‘glamberts’. You know, most of the Adams fans have been kind and respectful to Kris. There are the trolls that will do anything to try and say negative crap about both of them. I think it’s beyond foolish. I’m a true Kris fan but admire Adams’ amazing talent and hope they both find love and success in this crazy music business. I really would love for the ‘trolls’ of both of these guys to just go away. Good Luck to BOTH Kris & Adam! Peace Out People!!!

  • meao

    The whole thing sounds great. I don’t know how to choose! I think maybe Before We Come Undone, or Can’t Stay Away might be my favorites. I can’t wait until the 17 to hear them all the way through!

  • kct

    To Starr- Tickets for Z100′s Jingle Ball, the show you are describing, go on sale tomorrow. I will be there with my kids- can’t wait! Interesting comment re: Seacrest- does the song get any air play on other stations in the West?

    • Starr

      kct: Sadly I am not able to go to Jingle Ball. The closest show Kris will be playing at that I could go to would be the Napa Valley show next weekend or the Sacramento Jingle Ball, but I am way too swamped with work and school to make either trip. As for the rotation in West coast radio stations, California is leading in the airplay, but Washington and Oregon need to catch up. Compared to the East Coast, the West hasn’t played LLWD as much, which is weird, considering Kris’s type of music sounds like it would appeal to the West just as much as it would the East coast. Here is a map:

  • Marisha

    I love Kris. Sending love to Kris from the Philippines.

  • notlem

    Not feeling it. Especially not feeling the “I need to know” snippet. Sounds like a funeral dirge. Oh well, the new crop of idols will come along in what, 3 months? Maybe next year’s winner will be more talented.

    • Tina

      There is nothing WRONG with this years Idol. There is just something wrong with your judgement. Idol can’t fix that for you, sorry.

  • Tom22

    Tough to choose cuz i like them ALL. But i Really like “Alright with Me”, “Written All Over My Face”,“Let It Rain” AND “INeed To Know”

  • sparkles

    Generic and uninteresting singing and music.

    • Tina

      Give it a rest you trolls. Been a week since this has been on the internet……go and find a new site to troll on……..please.

  • Sarah

    The album sounds great from what I hear! I’m really looking forward to having this album in my hands in two weeks! Kris did a fantastic job, and I love how he wrote/co-wrote 9 songs out of the 12 on his album! He’s multi-talented!!!!

  • This must be a JOKE!!

    So Tina, did you say 75% of American is NOT buying Adam’s music LOL?? Tell me then how did Adam’s CD stay on the top 10 on AMAZON for over a month including 2 weeks being #1 ??? I can’t see your little Idol anywhere near the top 10 and your guy already has snippets out for people to listen to! Get your facts right before you post ignorant rumours like:

    Mon 11/02/09 2:40 AMHey Starr. You won’t see me stressing. Other fans might be. I am being mean but heard on US mag that 75 percent do NOT like that other person’s album nor are they going to buy it. I guess he shot himself in the foot with that um “interesting” cover. Sorry, done being like those OTT fans.

    • Mandi

      I said what a magazine had said, actually it was on Popeater not US mag. But they had a vote, and according to the ‘voters’ 75 percent said they would NOT buy the album. Adam’s CD stayed on the top 10 on Amazon BEFORE anyone had heard anything…his OTT fans pre-ordered like crazy. That is how it stayed in the top 10. Now that people have heard his first single, alot have said they do not like this single, hate his album cover and would NOT buy the album. So take that for what you will, I was only writing what I had heard from another source, it wasn’t like I made this up or anything, hell I like Adam, I wish him well. Would you like where I got that from? Then you can stop attacking me and YOU will see where I got that from…….

      Here is the article incase you want to look it up ……and actually it was 75 percent…..

      · Adam Lambert debuted a very glammed up cover for his album ‘For Your Entertainment.’ But our audience isn’t too pleased with his vision — 79 percent of over 146K hate it. But there aren’t a lot of Lambert fans in the PopEater audience — 75 percent of over 135K don’t plan on buying his album. Get the Story and Vote.

      • Tina

        Mandi is my cousin who loves Adam and she is the one who saw this. She did let me know that there wasn’t alot of Adam fans in the popeater audience……but not it doesn’t say they were Kris fans.

        Thanks Mandi for that. Now getta outta my EW account why don’t ya cus! lol

    • Kev

      Tina/and her cuz Mandi: Well don’t that say it all? If there were not alot of Lambert fans in the PopEater audience then that doesn’t say much. It just means that non fans of Adam are not going to buy his album. Here if you asked 3 people if they were going to buy it and 2 said no, that is 75% right there. Give me a break, ok? Why bother to mention this crap? To be rude? Nonsense drivel!

      • kct

        Funny, Kev mentions rudeness!He does know the word exists!

  • Josie

    Why doesn’t everybody just ignore Kev and others like him, by answering them and argueing with them it just makes them feel important, they get their kicks that way. Everyone just ignore them and talk about Kris, what a good idea that is eh!

  • Endurance

    that they have the moral right to attack other nitaons, then you cant even reason with them without blaspheming their God.
