Kris Allen wins American Idol Season 8, beating Adam Lambert in the season ending finale held today!

While Kris has consistently turned in good performances throughout the season and was probably the contestant who “grew” the most, many would acknowledge that Adam is the stronger singer with his extraordinary vocal range and control (some even call him the best singer in Idol history).

No surprise then that many, including Kris himself, were shocked by the results announced during today’s finale show.

So what cost Adam the Idol crown? Was it the media attention highlighting his sexuality / morality? Or was it something else?

Tell us what you think!

Very funny!

Danny Gokey has been voted off during Top 3 week of American Idol Season 8.

Danny received the lowest number of votes from viewers during the week’s voting period.

Danny’s performances of “You Are So Beautiful” and “Dance Little Sister” were not enough to put him through to the finale.

That leaves Kris Allen and Adam Lambert to face off in the finale next week for the title of American Idol Season 8 winner.

Last week (Top 4), Allison Iraheta was eliminated.
