Kris Allen: ‘I Don’t Need to Prove Myself’
KRIS Allen feels like an underdog — despite winning American Idol.
The adorable singer — who won the most recent season of the hit FOX TV talent show — says he has always been “understated”.
“Some people still don’t know how I won the show,” Allen, whose self-titled debut album is released today, told the USA Today newspaper.
“Not in an I-need-to-prove-myself way. I’m very understated. It worked out on the show, and I think it’s going to work out in my career, too.”
The 24-year-old added that he is good at “emotionally connecting to a song and being there with it”.
“I bought my wife a $50 red guitar for her birthday, and she never played it,” he explained. “We ended up hanging it on the wall because it was a good decoration.
“One day, I grabbed it off the wall, tuned it up and started writing a song. It ended up being a metaphor for the way I feel about her.”
