Kris Allen Beats Adam Lambert in American Idol Finale
Well, whoever coined the phrase “Anything is possible” was absolutely right (thanks Kevin Garnett).
Despite being a heavy underdog in the American Idol Finale on Wednesday night, Kris Allen ended up stealing the show from favorite Adam Lambert. Lambert handled his loss with class, and was respectful of Allen’s victory after the champion was crowned.
Allen, who many have compared to current Top-40 sensation Jason Mraz, is a talented musician who put a different spin on every single song he sang. Many of his performances featured the acoustic guitar—and along with Scott MacIntyre, Kris was one of the most active dual vocals-instrumentation artists in this year’s competition.
Adam Lambert had an awesome run on the show—establishing himself as the favorite as early as the Top 8 competition, where he performed the song “Mad World.” There were some studies on search trends, and Lambert came out on top of all of his competitors in most weeks.
Do you believe that Kris Allen is worthy of being named the American Idol?
Adam Lambert and Kris Allen—American Idol’s Final Two
American Idol has finally cut down to their final two contestants, and they are Adam Lambert and…Kris Allen?
Yes, America, Kris Allen will compete in the American Idol Finale against a heavy favorite. When reflecting upon this season, however, it does not seem that ridiculous.
This season’s show was almost predictable. Think about it—week to week, it was almost crystal clear on who was going to get the boot. Adam established himself as an early favorite, and was able to garner a gigantic fanbase that should heavily support him—good performance in the finale or not—all the way to the American Idol championship.
Many people thought that Danny Gokey and Allison Iraheta were going to be in the finale with Lambert, but both of them fell short. What was left? Kris Allen—a John Mayer like singer who has played the darkhorse role.
What kind of chance does Allen have to win it all?
In my opinion, slim to none. Unfortunately for him, Lambert is one of the toughest competitors on the past few seasons of American Idol. Even with a stellar performance, it may not be enough.
