In what may go down as being one of the most surprising upsets in American Idol history, 23-yr old Kris Allen has been crowned this year's American Idol over favored finalist Adam Lambert. Kris has been referred to as a "dark horse" though out much of this season, and it seems that he was able to creep up and win over voters just in time. This was an especially tough year, as both finalists are truly amazing vocalists and performers. In my opinion both are winners and musically will go on to do great things!
Finale highlights included performances with KISS, Cyndi Lauper, Keith Urban, and The Black Eyed Peas.
