Kris Allen on Adam Lambert: “If people don’t want me to be friends with Adam, that’s their problem, not mine.”
In hindsight, it’s worked out nicely that Kris Allen won the American Idol crown in May even though it came at the expense of Adam Lambert who had been heavily favored to win the competition.
Adam is a sensation and will be as big a star as he would have been had he won and the more low-key Kris gets the career boost of being Idol champ. What’s also been nice is the genuine friendship that has developed between the two who are currently performing on a cross-country concert tour with the rest of the top 10 finishers.
Kris was asked by Beck/Smith Hollywood if he feels any pressure to be a role model of one sort or another, as the Christian guy who’s pals with the gay guy?
“No,” he answers flatly. “What would I have to be pressured about? I’m just trying to be me. If people don’t want me to be friends with Adam, that’s their problem, not mine. Adam’s an amazing person and I’m so happy to call him one of my really good friends.”

Go Kris! That’s being a true role model.
David in Houston says:
Kris is such a sweet guy. I wish him all the best, and hope his album does well. Too bad he has that annoying character flaw of being straight 😉
Dena in NM says:
I’m so glad their friends. I voted for Adam but Kris seems like a really nice guy and has a very pleasant voice. Of course, Adam rocks. Can’t wait to get his album.

Kris lives his faith, he dosen’t need to explain himself to anyone. He is a wonderful example to people young and old. Adam is also an honest loving young man with as his mother said “not a mean bone in his body.” Both families should be so proud of thier incrediable sons. Well done Lambert & Allen families.
