Kris Allen: Adam Lambert Isn’t ‘Stealing My Thunder’

Tuesday, June 23, 2009, 06:16 PM | American Idol 8

Here’s the Kris Allen interview in Parade.com:

Is Lambert stealing the spotlight?
“Adam is definitely one of those people who garnishes media attention. He’s different, and he’s something completely different from Idol and so I think he deserves all that stuff. And for me, I’m totally laid back and cool. Being on the cover of Rolling Stone, he had something to say and they wanted to be the ones to say it. That was his way to do that. I don’t have any problems with it at all. I think Adam totally deserves it. I don’t feel like he’s stealing my thunder.”

On Simon’s advice to have kept his marriage a secret to get more votes.
“Stuff like that, what judges say, you have to take with a grain of salt. That never even bothered me. But I felt Kara [Dioguardi] got me the most as a writer and artist herself.”
