Who is the New 'Idol' King?

Well, folks, we have a new American Idol. If you have yet to watch tonight's show, don't read any further.

**** Spoiler Alert *****

I think Kris was the most shocked of us all when he was announced the winner of American Idol. The judges all but handed the title over to Adam, essentially telling Kris last night that he should be proud of himself, but that he wouldn't go any further. Boy, did America prove them wrong. Twice. For the four that pegged an Adam-Danny showdown, they were sure put in their place when Kris took it all. I guess once Danny left, Kris got all his extra votes, vaulting him ahead of season-long frontrunner Adam. But unlike Danny, Kris definitely said it best in a recent interview, where he said he hoped his being Christian wouldn't affect America's vote, and that they should vote based on talent, not based on someone's personal lifestyle. Well said, Kris, and well deserved. Congratulations, and for the first time, i eagerly await the American Idol's album.

And as for Adam, not winning Idol is probably a blessing in disguise, because now he can go all Daughtry and make the kind of album he wants, and not the kind that Clive Davis mandates, and he doesn't have to sing the horrid Idol song (is it sad that Kara is a better singer than a songwriter? Maybe she should switch professions.)

Well, it's late, but I needed to comment on tonight's upset. For now, good night.
