Rickey's overdramatic and quite possibly sarcastic meltdown was indeed OTT and uncalled for. But did he really say anything that isn't true or that we didn't already know?

New interview with EW's Michael Slezak (it's in two different parts of this Réalité video) popwatch.ew.com/2009/09/26/realite-kris-allen-dwts-runway-idol/Slezak revealed two more songs which he has actually heard the demos. (Jim Cantiello tweeted he has heard those rough cuts as well). He seem to really like both these songs as well. One of them is called "Written All Over My Face" - written by the same team who wrote "Live Like We're Dying" (googled and nope, this has never been released anywhere before LOL). Another song is called "Before We Come Undone" - co-written by Kris, Lindy Robbins and Greg Kurstin ("The Fear" for Lily Allen). This one is supposed to be angsty and about fighting for a relationship. Rickey's overdramatic and quite possibly sarcastic meltdown was indeed OTT and uncalled for. But did he really say anything that isn't true or that we didn't already know?Plenty. Music is subjective and I also highly doubt he's really heard any of the tracks (rather, demos) himself, considering the AI folks had always wanted him to stay far away from the Idols. What an interesting choice of first post on Pulse.

He's got a lot of great producers on his team. I don't know why people are thinking that he isn't getting much attention from his record company...

He's pretty much getting the same winner promo and treatment, just that this year his runner-up is way too colourful - more hype than all past runner-ups combined lol.

I like the sounds of a Mat/Kris co-write. I love Mat's songwriting.
I'm getting excited for this!

I like Kris Allen, he's really talented. Not the most amazing vocalist, but knows how to work w/ what he's got. Also, go Christian worship leader (haha...)!

What an interesting choice of first post on Pulse. It was interesting. (((shrugs))) LLWD got played on "Open House Party" twice last night, so that's some decent exposure. I believe OHP is the second-most syndicated weekly Top 40 radio show, right after AT Top 40??
