This morning, Americans voted Kris Allen as Season 8's American Idol. He was voted ahead of his fellow finalist, Adam Lambert. Now Adam was perceived as the American Idol elect since the Top 13 finalist were announced. For the next 12 weeks, he performed like a pro. His out of the world vocal range, his over the top wardrobe, his nail polish and support from Katy Perry reaffirmed his position as an American Idol winner. And coupled with consistent praise from the judges, he's a sure winner according to many.
But the result this morning or last evening in America shocked everyone, even the judges were stunned. What is wrong with Americans? Are they deaf or what? How can they vote Kris Allen as the new Idol, people might ask.
Kris is a wholesome, cute, devout Christian, All-American guy. Consistently, he vowed America with his solid music arrangement.Most comfortable when performing with a guitar and equally versatile in playing the piano. He managed to evade the radar during the Hollywood Week but still make it to the Top 13. His performance improved by leaps and bounds ever since. Nothing can stop this guy from crashing the final party which everyone has predicted a Lambert vs Gokey showdown. But again, America has spoken. Booting out Gokey in favor of Kris.
Why then everyone surprised that Kris won? I too was surprised when the result was announced but I then know that America chose a clean-cut, sweet guy over the screeching voice, mascara eyed and leather clothed guy.
Americans chose a wholesome guy to be their idol rather than a rocker as the winner .
I'm a no brainer in music nor a judge in singing competition but as a layman and a music fan I said that Kris Allen deserved to be the American Idol and I'm looking forward to his first album. Go go Kris!

Now that's what you call an underdog. you thought you will never make it, you thought you could only have role as feeder to the champ, out of no where, you go against the odds and you're the champ.
well, i m no surprised.. hehee.. cos i prefer kris over adam... no doubt adam has the star unique quality, but this show is about america.. an idol..who would u like to be your idol... the idea of choosing an idol u like .. not someone who can sing better.. the appearance and the character of a person plays an important part..
just my opinion.. hahaha..
