There he is - the next American Idol - Kris Allen!!! I am so happy that Kris won. He showed time and time again that he had talent, poise, charisma, and altogether great attitude to be the winner for this season. Many of the newspapers and even people are calling this a "shocker", as fan and judge favorite Adam Lanbert was expected to win. Now that he lost, there are charges going around that it was because of his homosexuality.Complete rubbish.
Rather, in my view, Adam was a polarizing performer. His style, including the infamous "scream" inserted into almost every song and the lavish entrances, ultimately made some people absolutely adore him and other absolutely hate him. Undoubtedly, he was one of the top vote getters week in and week out (save for that one anomaly when he was in the bottom 3). However, his fanbase was saturated. As contestants fell, their supporters likely went to other contestants, and I hypothesize that Adam did not pick up a bulk of them. The final nail in the coffin was when Danny Gokey went home. There was no way that his fans would turn around and support Adam.
I for one proudly voted for Kris for many weeks. I think he could have a good career is paired correctly. I will likely download his single "No Boundaries" (although the song's lyrics are so cheesy) to show further support.
