The Season 8 American Idol Winner is…

Kris Allen!

Well, just as I predicted (I don’t usually get these right), Kris Allen won the 2009 edition of American Idol.

I think that a combination of Kris Allen fans and Adam Lambert haters put Kris over the top. I am not sure Kris could have won if it weren’t for the fact that there are about as many people who absolutely HATE Adam as there are who like him. That actually should mean really good things for Adam’s music career.

This was the first year that I can remember not caring who won. Every year prior to this year I had a clear cut favorite, but this year I thought both finalists were good singers and neither of them really moved me like some of the past contestants.

So what do you think? Should Kris Allen have won or was Adam Lambert ripped off?

Who Do You Think Will Be The Season 8 American Idol Winner?

Will it be Adam Lambert or Kris Allen?

I am personally leaning towards Kris, but I think it’s going to be very close. It really depends on whether or not the Kris Allen fans and the Adam Lambert haters have bigger numbers than the Adam Lambert fans.

Both of them are very talented. So who do you think will be the 8th winner of American Idol?

No big surprise that Adam and Kris made it to the final 2. I was kind of hoping Danny Gokey would beat out Adam, because it would have been fun to see the judges reactions. But I think that the right two people are in the finals.

Good luck to both of them… it should be a close final.

Well tonight, like all other nights, the judges praised Adam Lambert for being the best American Idol contestant ever (I would personally vote for last year’s winner David Cook if I had a vote). Adam was really good and he has a great voice, but for me personally (as Randy would say) I liked Kris Allen best tonight.

Much like my wife, I would never have pegged Kris as my favorite contestant come final 3 time, but right now he is definitely my favorite, followed by Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey. Early on my favorites were Danny and Allison. I still wish Allison were in it, because she was my favorite contestant watch.

So, who do you think is going home? I think it’s a close call because all of them are pretty evenly matched talent wise. If I had to bet on it I would say Danny is going home, but I wouldn’t be surprised by Kris or even Adam going home. We will know soon enough…

I wasn’t surprised that Allison Iraheta went home this evening on American Idol, but I was disappointed. I like Allison best of the remaining contestants, however in reality all 4 of them are very close in talent.

So who will be the final 2? I am thinking it will be Danny and Adam, but it could easily be Kris and Danny or Kris and Adam. Time will tell…

Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey or Kris Allen?

Who do you think is going home tomorrow?

I like all four of them, but I didn’t agree with the judges tonight. I thought that Kris had the best performance of the night. That said, I expect Kris to be the one going home.

My personal favorite of the final 4 contestants is Allison. She is pretty amazing for a 17 year old.

So who do you think will go home?
