idolatry: kris allen answers my question

Took a chance when the Logo channel (one of the LGBT networks in the US) tweeted, asking fans for possible questions they would ask the Season 8 champ in an interview. Mine was one of the lucky ones he get to answer (I asked about the hairy feet. LOL). Click here to check it out.

This kinda makes up for his low opening week sales for me. :)

(Yes, the fanboism has no boundaries -- pun intended. I'm actually thinking of giving Kris Allen CDs for Christmas as gifts. Hehe. If only it's already available here...)

PS: Nice Kris write-up from Top Idol.
