Kris Allen Wins American Idol Season 8 – No Boundaries Performance Video
Another season of American Idol has come and gone and Kris Allen somehow defeated the collective powerhouse that was early favorites Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert to become Season 8’s winner.
In the history of American Idol, apart from Taylor Hicks, Kris’ victory could be the biggest underdog story in the history of American Idol. I don’t think anyone saw Kris coming out of the Top 36 compared to some of the early frontrunners like Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta , and even Anoop Desai. Somehow, someway, Kris did it. Somehow, Kris defeated this:
Personally, I’m thrilled about it.
How did Adam Lambert, clearly the most original contestant the show has had since Blake Lewis lose? The same way that Blake lost, by being incredibly talented, but just too polarizing with his style. While many would get and would love Adam’s glam rock style, Kris’ arrangements were clearly more mainstream and his likable personality made him someone that anyone would feel good about him winning. As Idol tradition has had it, both Adam and Kris will get record deals and I hope their talents bring them the same or more success than other past successful idols like Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, Katharine McPhee, Elliott Yamin, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Kellie Pickler, David Cook, and others.
Congrats to Kris Allen!
