Kris Allen Crowned American Idol 8


adam lambert kris allen ryan seacrest

In a shocking American Idol 8 finale show last night, Kris Allen was crowned "Idol"!
Not only where the viewers and Adam Lambert shocked, but Kris was uber-shocked too!

It's true that Adam Lambert stole the lights during the whole season, but it's Kris that took home the title after all.
As the results were announced and Ryan Seacrest officially announced Kris as the winner, Kris was kinda' speechless and said: "Are you serious? It feels good, but Adam deserves this".

The show was mega exciting, with performances from last season’s winner, David Cook and duettos from the other idol contestants from this season.
Lil Rounds with Queen Latifah on "Cue the Rain," Allison Iraheta with Cyndi Lauper on "Time After Time," Kris with Keith Urban on "Kiss a Girl," and Adam with Kiss on "Detroit Rock City" and "Rock and Roll All Nite."

Fergie sang "Big Girls Don’t Cry" solo and then was joined by the Black Eyed Peas on "Boom Boom Pow".
Megan Joy and Michael Sarver sang a song called "Pretty Flowers" accompanied on banjo by Steve Martin! Martin wrote the song and actually predicted that he would be the winner!

Congratulation Kris!

Did you think it was fair that Kris won and not Adam?

    Kris totally desereved to win he is awesome!! Adam just screamed in all of his song and he wasnt very good. He looks like hes about to start crying when he is singing. Kris was so cute because he didn't know what to say when he one and his happiness was from the heart.

    the real reason why kris won cz America didn't want some 1 that was gay to be their idol.

    Im really happy that Adam didn't win cz now he doesn't have to release that ugly single of mountains, and has no contract with am and wont tell him which way his album is going to sound he is now FREE.

    Adam need the platform her got it shined and now is a STAR.
    Adam will be more successful then kris.

    I agree 100% with you jessica. i love adam and even though i was disappointed, in the long run it's better for him because he has more freedom in his career. lots of times the runner up ends up doing better than the "winner" anyway.

    but regardless, congrats kris! they both worked really hard :)

    Adam had to win. I'm sorry, but it's all bullcrap. Either the producers are homophobic or America is. Adam really had the voice.

    Nina, I've got two things to tell you.

    First of all, I pity you if you think that being / looking lost looks cute. If he was a child, maybe, but it's not the case.

    And, if you call having good vocals screaming, then yes, Adam screams. By the way, Kris is unable of reaching those high and low notes Adam is vocally blessed with.

    Jessica and Lina, I completely agree with you. Do you remember how in Season 3 Jennifer Hudson was eliminated few weeks before the finale, but made it bigger than the winner, Fantasia?

    Anyhow, I wish you all the best Adam!

    Kris and Adam both deserved it. Each one of them has his unique way of singing.

    Adam fans should have known that societies do not idolise gays. The same American people who loved from a distance the Scottish Suzan Boyle's "naturalism" did not vote for Adam; appearently they are of huge numbers. In other words, If people are left to their freedom of choice with no pressure of media illusions then life would have been happier for billions of people since essentially people do not idolise "fake things". Societies thrive for naturalism to remain connected to their essence.

    ........ I love Adam a lot and i love Kris too so whoever won i am been happy both ways . anyway why does everyone have to argue about useless things . i mean they r both adorable , cute and each have their unique style of singing . If Adam was able to accept Kris winning so easily and with such a big smile then why can't his fans !!!!!!!!!!! Also Kris' fans don't insult Adam because he is truly amazing and everyone knows so.
    ps : Jessica no boundaries is an amazing song seriously , download the studio edition by Kris and tell me sincerely what u think .

    Watch the video of the official announcement, and you'll see Adam first go to hug Kris believing he won, until a split second later realising it wasn't his name Ryan Seacrest read out. He actually was convinced he was going to win, along with the rest of the world. And even Kris was shocked and thought Adam was a certainty.
