Kris Allen: I Still Love 'American Idol'

Kris Allen took to the airwaves this morning to set the record straight: He is still American Idols biggest fan.

Allen was taken off guard at the airport last week by a TMZ camera crew, who asked the singer if he had watched the season 11 finale. Allen, whowas scheduled for a concert in Los Angeles the same night, didnt have time to make both. However, the accompanying story conveyed the message that Allen suggested the show had run its course something he never said.

It was the weirdest thing ever, said Allen during a radio interview on Washington, D.C.s, Hot 99.5. It seems a little fabricated to be honest. It feels like they were putting words in my mouth but they do what they do.

Allen, whose sophomore album Thank You Camellia is expected to make a top 25 debut on the Billboard 200 on Wednesday, made it clear that he is still loyal to the program that launched his career.

Ive always been a huge fanatic about this show, and its done so many great things for me, said the season eight champion. Its given me amazing opportunities to make music, and I would never, ever, ever, ever say anything that would harm the show.

Allen had a busy Memorial Day weekend, kicking it off with a concert (and asexy cover of Justin Biebers Boyfriend") inOcean City, Maryland.
