Kris Allen Wins American Idol

Arkansas devout Christian and college student Kris Allen, 23, was named as the new "American Idol" in the Wednesday finale of the most popular U.S. television show.


Dubbed as the "Dark Horse," Kris Allen won the reality-singing competition with his acoustic music and all-American good looks over the falsetto singing style and daring wardrobe of 27-year old musical theatre actor Adam Lambert.

"It feels good, but Adam deserves this. I don't even know what to feel right now, this is crazy... I felt shocked almost every week that I made it. To be the American Idol, I'm completely shocked," said the uhmmm, shocked Kris Allen.

Famous for his off-the-charts vocal range, dazzling contestant Adam Lambert (whom the judges called Glambert) just shrugged his shoulder in defeat and said, "For me it's not really about what happened tonight, it's about tomorrow."

Aside from the excitement between Kris Allen and Adam Lambert's performances, another highlight of the star-studded American Idol finale was the singing duel between Kara DioGuardi and former Idol hopeful Katrina Darrell aka Bikini Girl. In the last part of their face-off, the new American Idol judge ripped off her dress to reveal a bikini!


The American Idol finale was, after all, the moment of truth not only for Kris Allen and Adam Lambert but for everyone who wants the world to know that they can sing... and they have "something" to show.
