Call him the "dark horse," the "Come-from-Behind Kid," the humble crooner. Call him whatever you like. But from now on you also need to call Kris Allen your "American Idol." After a historic tally of nearly 100 million votes, the shy 23-year-old singer from Conway, Arkansas, pulled off one of the most surprising wins in the show's nearly decade-long history by taking the crown from the theatrical season-long front-runner, Adam Lambert. Following nearly two hours of build up, when the time came for host Ryan Seacrest to announce the results, Allen and Lambert stood arm-in-arm, their friendship looking much more like a real bond than a made-for-TV facade. And when Seacrest opened the envelope, Allen looked genuinely stunned, his mouth hanging open as Lambert gave him a big hug.Finally raising his hand in victory and looking like he was a bit nauseous, Allen said, "Are you freakin' serious? ... It feels good man, but Adam deserves this. I don't even know what to feel right now. This is crazy. Thank you so much."

OK, I've heard all the reasons why Kris should have won.....I still think Adam was the better SINGER, which is what this contest is about. Sorry, but my money is going towards the upcoming Adam Lambert CD!!! Best rendition of MAD WORLD I have EVER heard!! KZ
....P.S. I think this is just like the year Reuben won and Clay came in second. Whoever hears about Reuben?? It's the one who SHOULD HAVE WON, CLAY, who became the most successful. Watch it happen again this time.......;)
I was voting for Adam. At least you never know what to expect. We'll see who sells the most albums. I'll bet Adam will be on top !
Dear Ryan's Mom,
I will be first in line to buy one of Adams albums/CD's!! We ALL know who the better singer was.....
I LOVE ADAM!!! KZ
PS You raised a great son, too!!
