Who is Kalan?

Whether you're someone from a different country who's curious, a Canadian who has yet to discover Kalan's amazing talents, or a friend/mother/sibling/family member who is a little worried about their friend's/daughter's/sister's/brother's love for this boy, thanks for checking out this thread! :) Kalan Porter is the WINNER of Season 2 of Canadian Idol. He's talented, he's sweet, he's shy, he's cute, he's religious, he's adorable... what an Idol!

So go on, if anyone wants to join, let the thread starter know! Let's get talking! :D

:wave: Hi! Sorry I took so long to start this thread... my spare was finished and I had to wait till I got home from the gym after school. Thanks for waiting for me!

Hope nobody minds the thread title... I kind of mushed a couple of the suggestions from the other thread together. If anyone hates it, I'm sure Shari will be nice enough to change it.

Beautiful Angel, expect a PM any hour now! :D

Very nice, Janelle :yay:

janelle - i love the title!

and... kalan klan! :yay: thats pretty klever if you ask me. ;)

I saw him on The X this morning :D. I loved how he said that the top 10 all got along. If they hadn't 'it would've really sucked' :lol:

:lol: I saw that too. That was aired last week for those of us here in Ontario.

Oh man, guys. I found someone who's more obsessed with Kalan than I am!!! :eek: I didn't think that was possible. I was scrapbooking (yes, scrapbooking) with my sister last night... one of the girls who works there pulled out a scrapbook and started putting pictures in it... after awhile, I noticed that ALL the pictures seemed to have subjects with gorgeous curly blond hair. ;) So of course I couldn't help myself but go over and meet this person. Her name was Jessie, and she had 40 (yes, 40) pages of Kalan in her scrapbook!!!!! From when he was younger, all the way to post-Idol. I was so thrilled, I think we spent a good 3 hours talking about Kalan. :D

oh wow, someone more obsessed with kalan than you? i didnt think that was possible either but cool! scrapbookin is fun. :nod:

Wow...is that the cover for his upcoming album! He looks great! :D

I just found out that someone at work is a Kalan fan. She was talking about how she bought his new album. I was like "What??? He has a new album out??" :eek: And she was like "Well, it just has two songs..." I'm like "Oh, you're only talking about the single?" :lol:

I then asked her if she knew that Kalan is coming to Edmonton later this month and she was like "No! Where do you get tickets???" It's great finding someone else who likes Kalan. None of my friends watched CI. Oh, the girl I worked with also agreed that Jacob should have been on the Top Two. :)

:lol: Yay for finding other friends who like Kalan!

I know, more obsessed than me? How is that possible? :eek: That's what my mom said as we were looking through the girl's scrapbook.

:yay: for more kalan people. :D

i need to let some more americans hear kalan. as of now, i think im the only one who knows who he is. :lol: cept ryan who has heard "awake in this dream" while i was playin it. :D

:love: The new thread title.

And Kalan looks amazing on that CD cover.

Yeah, more Americans need to get to know this fabulous boy. That's why I was so excited for that Platinum Christmas II album to come out... Kalan's singing on it and it's sold in the US, so that'll be some great US exposure for him. (He's singing "Mary Did You Know"... it's soooo gorgeous!!) :D

Sorry for the double-post, but something of interest came up.... there are 30-second clips floating around for 12 of Kalan's 13 songs on his CD, 219 Days! I have them all saved to my computer... I suppose I can try and upload them to YouSendIt.com and share them with you guys. They're all really good.... but I get it now why he said that there would be some surprises on the album.... even though the clips are only 30 seconds long, I heard one of them and almost fell off my chair in surprise. :D

ETA: Here are some links! Don't worry about spoilers or illegal downloading... I heard that BMG is going to be putting them up on the website soon. And besides, they're only 30-second clips. :) Please don't get mad at me for sharing. You know you want to check them out!!!

The title is very good hun, and OMG I didn't now that his CD is coming out later this month. Its on my X-Mas wish list, too bad I don't have a computer at home. I have to use a library or co-ep computer, to post on here. I don't want to download stuff onto the Co-ep computer

I guess I'll have to listen :lol: I try to stay spoiler free, but never do :lol:. My curiosity is gonna get me in trouble one day ;)
