There used to be a lot of fan fic about these two male network reality contestants hooking up.

I don’t know how often they hooked up, but I do remember sitting at very tiny restaurant on Santa Monica and the more famous of the two was there.

This was very early on.

This might have even been when they were still doing the show.

I believe the more famous one had used to work in the restaurant or his ex did.

Anyway, at some point, the less known one and the one everyone considered straight, came in and looked around and settled his eyes on the more famous one and sat down across from him. It wasn’t until a brief brief handhold, that I didn’t think anything was going on more than two people from the same show eating some food together.

Then, the two of them went into the back of the restaurant.

I have no idea what happened.

I wasn’t there to see it, but they were gone about twenty minutes and then they came back out to the very small dining area.

The more famous, sat back down and the other walked out of the restaurant.

A Kradam Retrospective: A Tribute To The Friendship Of Kris Allen & Adam Lambert

By 2009, I’d thought my relationship with American Idol had run its course.

—

American Idol Season 8 was the year of Kradam, and it was good.

For the uninitiated, a primer:

Kradam is the name for the friendship (and whatever you choose to do in fic, lord knows I don’t judge) of Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, consecutively, the number 1 and number 2 of that season. Their union couldn’t have been more unexpected: Kris, a nice, salt-of-the-Earth boy from the Bible Belt, already married to his high school sweetheart; versus Adam, already auditioning to be Queen’s new frontman, unbeknownst to him, with jet-black manicures and a falsetto to die for. Adam came out to the public after the show; but he was already out in life, presumably to his fellow contestants as well. Kris and Adam were also rivals. Each had a fervent fanbase lighting up phone lines every week. (Or were we texting by that point? Maybe both. History is hard.) They were the clear frontrunners, with power vocalist Allison Iraheta trailing just behind.

Yes, they’re both nice to listen to and to look at. But what made this American Idol season one to remember was this opposites-attract, judgment-free friendship that played out for a national audience that included Kris’s Bible Belt neighbors, coastal hipsters, and everyone in between. Kris and Adam fell into friend-love on American Idol and embraced everything that was different about the other. – Source
