Kris Allen is the new American Idol

SHOCK winner for American Idol

SEE VIDEO Kris Allen and Adam Lambert battled it out but only one could triumph

Thursday, 21 May 2009

Kris Allen has been crowned the champion of American Idol 2009.

The Arkansas singer pipped favourite Adam Lambert to the title last night.

When host Ryan Seacrest revealed the news, Kris, 23, seemed visibly shocked.

‘It feels good, but Adam deserves this,’ he said. ‘I don't even know what to feel right now, this is crazy.’

Earlier, Kris duetted with Nicole Kidman’s husband Keith Urban on Kiss A Girl, while Adam, 27, performed with Kiss.

American Idol airs on ITV2 in the UK on Thursday and Friday night.

I'm a devout Christian and mother of two music-loving boys, and I must ask: What is wrong with America? America's vote for Kris Allen, or America's vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against various sectors of society that Adam Lambert appears to stand for. In their manipulations, voters utterly disregarded American Idol as a singing talent competition that’s open to all and forgot that it is not a popularity contest for class of persons -- neither a political race to election nor a religious warfare arena. In Season 8, Kris demonstrated that he is a talented musician and progressively proved that he is an outstanding vocalist; but Adam Lambert consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. ADAM LAMBERT DESERVED TO WIN. Even Kris knows this within his Christian heart, so much so that when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved title, he became perplexed and then asserted in open public that "Adam deserves this..." – instinctively repudiating the unbelievable subsuming vote results in righteous adherence to the glaring truth. You could actually count so many seconds before the visibly bewildered Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place his arm around his room mate’s shoulder in a gesture of encouragement. ADAM LAMBERT IS THE TRUE WINNER. In addition, I should also ask: What is wrong with this TV show called “American Idol,” anyway?
