AmericanIdol.com caught up with Kris Allen recently. The reigning American Idol is releasing his self-titled album tomorrow. To promote the record, Kris has been traveling around the country and performing on morning and late night talk shows. Last week, Kris helped announce the People's Choice Awards nominations, and he was nominated too!

When we met with Kris, we asked him MyIdol users' questions. Kris opened up about the Idol tour, life after Idol, and more.
