AMERICAN IDOL “Winner Announced” Review

The time has finally come to crown a winner for AMERICAN IDOL Season 8.

It was kind of weird seeing the Top 13 back on stage and to be honest there are some of the contestants that I had totally forgotten about, and realized America made the right decision by sending them home.

Of course we got the typical performance of the contestants with celebrities, but I do have to mention the Black Eyed Peas’ performance, which was really awesome. But of course Fox had to spoil it all by cutting away in the middle of the performance, really?! Are you kidding me? Why would you invite them to perform if you’re not going to let them do their thing?

And after a long night, it was time to crown the new winner of American Idol. And the winner is…

Kris Allen

And I say, what?!! Not a huge disappointment, but still it would have been nice for Adam Lambert to win. Either way, as I said before both of them will go on to do something. Plus Kris Allen was very humble about winning and I think out of the two the song fit his voice better (even though I still don’t like the song that much).

So how do you guys feel about Kris Allen winning American Idol?

It doesn’t bode very well for Kris that Adam totally blew him, and everyone else, out of the water tonight. Kris didn’t even look terribly happy about winning. I’m happy for Kris but I think his victory will be bittersweet. There will be negative undercurrents. He didn’t want to win on the Christian vote and, you may not agree with me, but I’m afraid that’s what won it for him. I hope Idol does the right thing and cuts Adam lose immediately (or at the end of the summer). Keeping him would make sense monetarily but is it really the right thing to do? Adam left everything on the stage, night after night. If you can’t give him the victory he deserves, at least set him free.

It would have been nice if adam won the show. but he will be ok. he is already a super star. Kris needs this in order to be succesful otherwise he wouldn’t have any other contracts. I am sure adam will have a lot to choose from. and check this out. my neighbor who is 17 voted for kris 2,000 times last night. my family, wich is my mom, my dad, my husband, my daughter, my son and I love adam very much but we only voted 20 times total because we have to go to bed early. so… it doesn’t mean that kris had more fans, it is just that not everybody can vote as many times as teenagers who have all night for themselves. anyway, I wish adam the best luck and I will be waiting to buy his first cd.

Kris was too cute not to win, but this doesn’t explain how Shawn Johnson pulled out a win over at Dancing with the Stars. She was too stubby to win. Alas.

One of the biggest upsets on American Idol. Adam Lambert has the whole package. He has an amazing range of vocals along with an unfogettable stage presence. Kris Allen is just another wannabe Justin Timberlake. He doesn’t have the range that Adam does. I was completely disappointed. American got it all wrong. Adam Lambert should have won by a landslide.

AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8 IS OVER!!
But the saga of Simon and Paula lives onâ€¦

Adam’s style appeals to a certain audience – not me – America didn’t get anything wrong – Kris is more suited to a mainstream audience – No he does not have Adam’s range but he connects on an emotional level that more people can relate to – rather than just impress by being a vocal show-off . . . there are no negative undercurrents except the ones you put there ….

Adam didn’t need to win – he’s already a star – and thta looks good for him that all he needed wa sfor people to hear him – he didn’t need Simon’s approval to make him a celeb – he did it with his ability and presence

Kris is a voice that could have been overlooked – but he made people open their eyes and realize there is something amazing in the subtle that deserves to be appreciated – I lik eone persons comparison of fireworks and sparlers – Fireworks can mak eyou say wow – but a sparkler is close – intimate – puts you in a place that carries you to some place special . . .
