Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The big day is almost here for Kris Allen fans — release day for his debut album.

I pretty much panned that album in my Sunday CD Spotlight.

But, in the interest of fairness, I’ll be posting links to any other reviews I see that rate the album.

Here’s the first, from The Associated Press: Allen’s debut is cool but average.

And here’s a link to an interview The Associated Press did with Kris. Make sure to check out the story behind “Red Guitar,” my favorite song on the album, and to read about the family tradition Kris hopes to continue this Christmas.

Meanwhile, feel free to post your comments about Kris Allen’s “Kris Allen” below.
