Kris Allen tells about his view on Adam Lambert and his rising fame vs. Kris’ own.
The article is titled: `Idol’ winner stays humble and this is exactly what Kris does.
Fragments:

For the casual American Idol watcher, we’ll save you some trouble. Adam Lambert did not win Season 8. Kris Allen did.
But it’s runner-up Lambert — a proudly out-of-the-closet singer who doesn’t shy away from eye liner or paparazzi — who’s stealing all the attention.
Allen, 24, is OK with that. More or less.
“Here’s the thing. Adam’s a little more — OK, let’s say, lot more — controversial than I am, and the press wants him more right now,” says the singer-guitarist. “That’s fine with me. I’m happy for him. He is who he is, and I am who I am. If people want to put me on a cover of a magazine, then cool.”

This article has for some reason made some controversies as some of Adam’s fans interpreted that Kris is jealous because of Adam’s popularity, but to me after reading it it is quite clear that it was mostly journalist’s implication and interpretation than Kris’ own.

One of the comments made under the article illustrates also my feelings very well:

Kris Allen is a delight, and he will have a great career. Adam Lambert is also a delight, and he will have a great career. Lambert is more than his sexuality, Ms Madeleine Marr, he is poised, confident, articulate, intelligent, sweet, creative,friendly,reliable,stylish, honest, courageous,hard-working, and has amazing enlightened perspectives. He is forwrd thinking, humorous, never blames,compains or makes excuses. And he is good-hearted, which is why he and Kris Allen get along so well-both are open-minded and kind hearted. See Madeleine-he is more than an out-ot-the-closet- singer. Actually, he has an incredible vocal range, crystal clear vocals and is praised by the entire recording industry. Adam Lambert and Kris Allen have entirely different styles and that is great. They are both really good singer, and the variety of style is wonderful.-Double the fun.
Kris is a terrific AI winner, showing us that brotherhood is better and more fun than bigotry.I love Kris Allen & Lambert
