Kris Allen’s Most Embarrassing Tour Story – And Live Performance – Video And Exclusive Photos

Posted on November 17, 2010 by Parisa Michelle

Kris Allen, winner of American Idol Season 8, came to The Grove in Los Angeles for a live performance of his new single, “Alright with Me.”

Kris also spoke with Mario Lopez of Extra and told him he is now touring with Lifehouse. Kris’ interview should be broadcast on Extra soon.

Speaking of touring, Kris recently told MTV’s Jim Cantiello about his most embarrassing tour story which happened last summer, somewhere in Pennsylvania.

Kris said: One night he must have been sleepwalking as he stepped out of his hotel room and was only woken up by the sound of the room door slamming shut behind him. The story would not be so bad had Kris not gone to bed in the buff that night.

So, there he was, totally naked in the hallway of a hotel room. He finally found a phone and asked the hotel clerk to come open his door for him, which the clerk did, but in the process, the clerk got to see a whole lot of Kris. Kris laughs, “Man parts are not meant to be seen out in the open!”

Here is Kris Allen performing an acoustic version of “Alright with Me:”
