Congratulations to Kris Allen again for winning the coveted American Idol crown and also for having the most popular song on iTunes.

His version of the winner’s song “No Boundaries” hit the number one spot on iTunes Top 100.

Adam and Kris dominated the charts.

And I thought people hated the song. They even had a blog dedicated to making fun of the song co-written by Kara DioGuardi.

Now that American Idol 8 is over, I am excited about So You Think You Can Dance.

American Idol Season 8 Finale.

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert sang “We are the Champions” together with surprise guest band Queen!

Kris was good but this song was really made for Adam Lambert and it showed the difference between the two contestant’s voice and singing style.

Congratulations to Kris Allen for winning American Idol season 8!

People are saying that this was the biggest upset of the season. Adam definitely have more talent but Kris has more fans and he is actually quite good.

Even after winning, Kris is still as humble as ever giving props to Adam Lambert.

American Idol Season 8 Finale.

Adam Lambert sings the winner’s song “No Boundaries” which was co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi.
Adam’s performance was great. I didn’t care much for the song.

Kris Allen performs the same song.

It wasn’t as great as Adam’s version. His was a little soft and not very grand but the judges agree that this song suited his voice and style.

American Idol Season 8 Finale.

Kris Allen performs “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye picked by American Idol producer Simon Fuller.

This was a good performance but not good enough for the finals. I thought his voice was good but the song was just too light compared to Adam’s performance.

American Idol Season 8 Finale.

Kris Allen brought back the song “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

Kris did better this time as well. Wish he would’ve sang “Falling Slowly” again but this was a good performance and Simon declared Kris winner of first round.

Last night was the big night for all three contestants of American Idol because the finale is just a week away.

Here are your bottom 3 of the night: Adam, Kris, and Danny. Kidding.

The first one safe from elimination was Kris Allen. I knew he would be safe. Not because of his performance the other night, but because they showed his homecoming and the people that showed up was overwhelming. It was like half of the city came to see him.

DANNY GOKEY was eliminated!

I really thought this will be the upset of the year with Adam going home.

American Idol Top 3 Show.

Kris’ second song of the night is Heartless by Kanye West.

Kris came out with the guitar and just did his own version of the song.

All the judges loved it and commended him for being brave.

I do commend him for coming out and taking a risk. I didn’t get all the praises though. I thought this was a plain jane song and I did not get anything out of it. Oh well.

Watch Kris Allen sing Apologize.

American Idol Top 3 Show.

Kris Allen performs “Apologize” by One Republic.

This song was chosen by the judges for Kris. The judges gave it a good overall score. Kara said Kris needs to do more.

This was an okay performance. If this was not the semi-finals this would be a favorite.
