Kris Allen Visits Live With Regis and Kelly

Kris Allen, the newest American Idol winner, was on Live With Regis and Kelly yesterday morning.  He was so charming, humble and adorable and I just find it so hard to not be happy for him.  He talked a bit about how talented the Top 13 was this year, how he talk himself to play the guitar one summer and how he used to enjoy watching the Idol auditions because they were hilarious. 

Like last year’s winner, David Cook, Kris auditioned for the show because he had a brother who wanted to get on the show (in fact, his brother had auditioned and didn’t make it) and ended up winning.

It was also interesting when he explained that he has only been married eight months and, after auditioning for the show, he and his wife went on their honeymoon to Jamaica and, after landing, he literally got on a plan to leave for Hollywood Week.  Can you imagine!?  I had to laugh, though, because the ladies in the audience were suspiciously silent as he talked about being married.  Jealous much?

Kris also performed his new single “No Boundaries” and it does seem like he’s getting more and more comfortable with it (the audio was a little weird, though).  It’s not the best song and I’m glad he’s finding a way to embrace it but I can’t wait to see what he comes up with himself.  After the performance, Regis asked Kris if Simon Cowell congratulated him after he won.  Kris revealed that he hasn’t talked to Simon at all.  YOWZA!
