Kris Allen might not be telling the world that he's gay (like Adam Lambert) or posing on the cover of Rolling Stone (like Adam Lambert), but his album does come out on Tuesday, a week before certain other people (like Adam Lambert). Sources, referring to the above, report his response:
"I don't mind," an always modest Allen says while perched in "Idol" overlord Simon Fuller's quiet office 10 stories above the Sunset Strip. "I think that's how I went through the competition as well. I did my thing, and it worked out. And that's how I'm going to do my music career. I'm just going to do my thing, what I like to do, and hopefully it works out."
His thing now is his self-titled album, which comes out Tuesday, a week before Lambert's "For Your Entertainment" is scheduled for release. As one might expect after watching his soulful "Idol" renditions of Kanye West's "Heartless" and "Falling Slowly" from the indie musical "Once," Allen's album is filled with melodic ballads and toe-tapping rock tunes.

And if it doesn't work out, there's always telling everyone you're gay or possibly being indirectly involved in a murder. Those are always instant attention grabbers that usually lead to stardom. We'll see how it goes.
