The American Idol just ended its 8th Season today. The result was surprising and totally unexpected. Since day 1 of the presentations of the finalists, Adam Lambert consistently dominated the stage and he was predicted a shoe-in winner of this season.
Apparently, the American voters thought otherwise. Kris Allen, with his all-American good looks stole the hearts of America and became the dark horse’ competition winner. The 23-year old musician from Arkansas defeated Lambert with a record of nearly 100 million votes during the show’s finale.
Rumors spread that Lambert is gay which made Allen the more clean-cut between them being a college student and devout Christian. Although Lambert made millions of people awed by his musical and theatrical talents, Allen won praises for his performances with his acoustic guitar and for rearranging popular tunes like Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” and Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine.”
Let’s see now if Allen would make it as big as the American Idol’s winners like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson, and recently, David Cook.
