KRIS ALLEN WINS AMERICAN IDOL!!
Well as you probably already know by now, Kris Allen upset Adam Lambert last night to win Season 8 of American Idol.
The show was great and the guest stars made the two hour finale a sight to see. Instead of recapping in detail a show that you either watched or didn't care to see, I stopped in just to report who won and to let you know that I will be doing a follow-up story on the new American Idol.
I am going to write about the past winners and where they are at today and I will also be following Kris Allen and report on his progress over all. Until then though, my writing about American Idol will slow down.
I hope you all enjoyed Season 8 of the show, I know I did. And congratulations to the winner this year...Kris Allen. I'll be back soon with more on Kris. Have a great day, and thanks for reading! ~ Scott

The Finals - American Idol
On American Idol last night the two remaining contestants sang for the title! Kris Allen and Adam Lambert sang the finale with the intentions of trying to be the American Idol Season 8 winner.
The show hosted three rounds of performances with each of the two contestants singing in each round.
In the first round each contestant performed a repeat of their favorite song they did previously in the season. Adam Lambert sang Tears for Fears' song "Mad World" again and he did a great job! Kris decided on the Bill Withers tune "Ain't No Sunshine" while playing the piano. Kris did a great job also on his first song.
In the second round the contestants had to sing a song that was picked by the show's creator, Simon Fuller. Adam Lambert was required to sing the Sam Cooke R&B song "A Change Is Gonna Come." Although many may think this is not Adam's kind of music, he did a fantastic job and with this song I think he sealed the win in the competition!
Kris on the other hand was required to sing "What's Goin' On" by the great Marvin Gaye. Although the judges felt like Kris' performance was "lightweight" I really think it showed us the kind of artist Kris is going to be and I also think he really did a good job with this one.
The third and final round was slated to be the most interesting because both singers were required to perform a song that was written by this years' new judge, Kara DioGuardi. I didn't particularly like the song, and I actually think BOTH singers butchered their performance of it just a bit. In my opinion, this was a bad way to end the show, but really....who am I right?
So all in all I think...drum roll please...Adam Lambert should win this competition. Surprised? Nah! I think this based on the whole competition AND based on last night's performances too. I AM going to say something here that may surprise you though, "DON'T BE SURPRISED IF KRIS ALLEN ACTUALLY SNEAKS OUT THE WIN THOUGH" after America votes!
This guy has had votes when you didn't think he should have gotten them. Last week was a perfect example of this for me. So, I will leave this and be back tomorrow with my final story about Season 8 of American Idol. It's been great writing about this, it really has.
And we will see tonight on Fox at 9pm who wins this season, but my pick is Adam Lambert! I hope you all have a good day and I hope you enjoy the show tonight. 'Til tomorrow, Roberts...out!
