Congratulations to the underdog, Kris Allen, for winning American Idol 2009!!!
While many were expecting Adam Lambert to win because he is undeniably more talented vocally and exudes the rock star presence, Kris Allen probably won for the following reasons.
- Kris Allen had the female vote – even if Kris is married, he is still popular with a lot of girls.
- Kris Allen had the conservative vote – Adam is probably too revolutionary for his time.
- Kris Allen had the sympathy vote – Many probably thought Adam had the trophy in the bag so they instead decide to vote for the underdog. If a lot of people think this way, a whole lot of votes go Kris’ way.
Despite losing, I think Adam Lambert will go far in the music business just like what happened to Chris Daughtery. We certainly haven’t seen the last of him.
Both guys deserve to be in the top 3 and I wish both the best in their careers. All in all, American Idol season 9 can be considered one of the better, if not the best season yet.
I second you on that last reason.
I always thought that Adam was too good for Idol, it wasn’t fair for the other contestants. And whatever happens, Adam has a huge music career ahead.. surely there’s a lot of recording companies wanna sign him. And therefore, we should give Kris Allen a chance.
But it’s also fair that Kris Allen won. He’s very talented and he has come a loooong way.
