And the winner is...

Raise your hands anyone that didn't think Kris Allen was going to win American Idol? Yeah, me too. I mean, he is good and cute as a button, but who had bigger star power than Adam Lambert? Ok, I did want him to win, but now that he has, I'm not sure it's such a good thing. It's a case of getting what you want may not necessarily be good for you. Now he has to make a record that the execs at AI wants him to make whereas Adam can go all out and make the album that he wants.

Best men for the job

There was also news that Kris won by a wide margin. And one of the reason was, according to reports, because Danny Gokey's fans started voting for Kris after their man went home. Well, both Adam and Kris have different styles on extreme ends of the scale and appeal to different audiences. But I'm sure both of them will find equal success. Well, I certainly hope to see more of them in the future and hope that they don't suffer the Idols curse and fade from oblivion before the next Idol is crowned.
