What was your first impression of Allison?
Kris: I think the first time I actually saw Allison and actually realized who she was, was in Hollywood week. She sang and I was like, where the heck did this girl come from? And I was like, dang this girl is really good. And so I was really impressed by her. She was a 17-year-old kid who got up there and has a great voice. It blew me away the first time I heard her.
Allison: What song did you sing in Hollywood week?
Kris: Umm… which round?
Allison: The last one.
Kris: I sang “Everything” by Michael Buble.
Allison: I’m going to be honest, I don’t remember you from Hollywood week.
Kris: That’s OK.
Allison: But I remember we sort of got to know each other in the Top 36. I remember him doing the Michael Jackson “Man in the Mirror.”
Kris:
I don’t want to remember that.
I thought it was good! I liked it.
Allison: I thought it was great too.
It got you into the Top 13.
Kris: It did. I cannot be mad at it.
Allison: I didn’t know how he sang or anything but then the first time I heard him… damn! You know?
I had that reaction the first time I heard both of you. Anyway, so what was your reaction when Kris won?
Allison: I was already crying when they said “And the winner…” They hadn’t even announced who won.
Kris: It never really felt like it mattered.
Allison: Exactly. I knew it’s going to be him or him. So when they said Kris, I was jumping like a lunatic, like a crazy moron on stage. I was so happy. And then when he started singing “No Boundaries” again, I cried even more. Pretty emotional. It was great.
What is Allison’s album going to be like?
Kris: Allison’s album is going to be like Allison. I feel like she’s got that rock feel, that voice. She sounds like a rock chick and I freaking love it. If I don’t hear that out of you I’m going to be so mad.
Allison: OK, alright.
What is Kris’s favorite part about fame?
Allison: Oh, the chicks! And the free chocolate and Snickers bars! No. I don’t know. He’s isn’t the “I’m doing this for fame” kind of guy. Kris I think just wants to let people know who he is and how awesome he is.
What is Allison’s weirdest habit? (Allison giggles)
Kris: She has a lot actually. Sometimes Allison gets loud. A little bit. Sometimes we’re like, let’s bring it down a notch. But that’s part of the reason we love her.
Why do the fans love Kris so much?
Allison: (teasing) Cause he’s so peeeerfect! Seriously, his fans love him becaus
e he’s amazing. I’m not going to BS you. He’s true. And I don’t blame his fans for loving him.
What’s Allison’s favorite accessory?
Kris: Hmm…
Her hair?
Kris: Definitely. You gotta go with her hair. Everybody wants Allison’s hair.
Allison: No they don’t!
Yes they do. Do you know how many people could wish they could get away with that? Because I totally could not.
Kris: Don’t say that, Jen!
Allison: Come on, Jen.
Do you want to dye my hair for me?
Allison: I’ve dyed a lot of people’s hair in this competition.
Whose?
Allison: Michael Orland, our piano arranger.
Kris: His hair was red for like two or three weeks. He could not get rid of it.
Allison: It looked nasty, too!
Kris: It was gross.
I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you guys!
