Justin Bieber answered our questions in the Press Room and even gave us a quick hug on the way to the H & M gift lounge!

Orianthi was flattered when we told her we love her song "According to You" and was excited to pose for a pic with M editor, Lauren!

When we asked Allison Iraheta for a photo with the mag, she answered, "Sure, dude!" and was ready to strike a pose!

Justin Bieber brought a lucky girl on stage and serenaded her in front the whole stadium! He even gave her a bouquet of beautiful roses! Aww!

Last but definitely not least, Taylor Swift ended the show with a rockin' performance!

Let's dish:
-Who do you most wish could've met at Jingle Ball? What performance would've been your fave?

Hey M Girls!

We're so stoked -- Kris Allen just signed his record deal yesterday with Jive Records and his CD will hit THIS FALL! So, what can fans expect? "It will be very similar to what you heard from me on the show -- definitely in the pop/rock genre," Kris spills. "I can't wait to get started!"

And today, Adam signed a record deal with RCA Records and his debut album is also scheduled for a fall release! "I look forward to developing a really exciting album," Lambert says. "We are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It's going to be ridiculous! Get ready!"

Woohoo! Can't wait!

Let's dish:
-Who's album will you buy -- Kris or Adam's??
