Kris Allen Is An American Idol

Congratulations to Kris Allen, our newest American Idol, on his surprising win last night! Both Kris and Adam brought some real talent to the long running reality series and both deserved to be there last night. And while Allen won the title, both Kris and Adam have released the single, “No Boundaries” to iTunes today (at press time Lambert was beating Kris on the top downloads chart), showcasing that both are embarking on some successful careers.

But, first let’s revisit last night’s show. Allen sang with Keith Urban, showcasing a cool country vibe that we hadn’t seen from him, even during country week. Lambert sang with KISS, which was one of the best performances of the night, and the two sang together, “We Are The Champions”, with Queen. Everyone turned out from Rod Stewart to Queen Latifah. Steve Martin even gave an unfortunate performance on the banjo while Megan joy and Michael Sarver butchered their way through it. It was definitely a finale that Idol lovers won’t soon forget. We’ll be bringing you video of our favorite moments over the next week, so keep it here.

And for the winner, Kris Allen, who will embark on a US tour with the other Top 9, he’s got a stop to make first. Check it out below.
