The American Idol Shocker - Kris Allen Wins Over Adam Lambert!

 I knew they would do it to us again.  The underdog wins again!  Last year David Archuleta delivered performance after performance and had the spotlight then at the end, David Cook took the title.  This year Adam Lambert delivered perfect performances through the whole season and he was plastered on every website, tv show and  blogs and Kris Allen got the title!  I kind of knew Kris would get the title.  He had the whole state of Arkansas at his home coming and they love to vote.  San Diego didn’t seem to show as much support for Adam Lambert.  I’d give anything to know the exact amount of votes, wouldn’t you?  Is there any way for us to sneak a peek and why don’t they ever advertise that info?  Now Ryan Seacrest did mention the fact that Not EVERYONE could get through to vote, do you think that had something to do with it?  Maybe the Kris Allen people tied up the lies so that the Adam Lamberts waited too long to try and vote and then it was done.  They didn’t get all their votes in, or did they?  I wonder if we could find out eh?  They had us completely convinced it would be Adam Lambert!  Even Simon Cowell was quoted saying that Adam Lambert was a shoe in for the American Idol title.  Did America discriminate against him because he’s bi-sexual?  Did it really come down to the nitty gritty?  Did Christian people vote for him regardless of his lifestyle?  They say that Danny Gokey’s fans backed Kris Allen and that’s why he won.  Did he win because he’s more talented or not?  My honest opinion is this, when they sang Kara Dioguardi’s song “No Boundaries” Adam struggled with it and sang a bit pitchy.  Kris was pitchy in parts but not as noticeable because he was singing in a lower key.  Kris played a guitar and a piano, and people watching the show for the first time would assume he’s a better musician than Adam based on that fact alone.I read some blogs where people said Adam could sing but they wouldn’t buy his records because he screaches so much.  I noticed if you compare his singing from “The Ten Commandments” and “Mad World” he does sing an octave higher.  I was glad when he sang “Mad World” for the finals that he picked the lower more subdued key, to show that he has a main stream voice.  He was perfect in the finals with that crazy black, metallic outfit on for his performance with KISS.  He fit right in with them, I could see him perform with any rock group even Marilyn Manson.  It will be interesting what “different” music Adam is planning to cook up in the future.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he changed music altogether and started a totally new trend.  By his interview tonight on Idol Extra, he admitted to that fact.  Kris Allen will be singing love songs, ballads and reggae style music, it suits him. I must say though I loved how he changed Kayne’s song “Heartless” and did it just with his guitar. It was unique, different and innovative.  I expect to see Kris Allen coming out with his own style of other people’s songs and maybe a few of his own as well.  He didnt’ seem to think that he and Adam will be doing a duet any time soon because of their different tastes in music.  I’m looking forward to Allison Iraheta performing with Adam Lambert, they make the perfect rock combo!
