Kris Allen Wins American Idol Crown

In a surprising turn of events, the student from Arkansas
Kris Allen was named the eight season American Idol champion.
They say it's his cool voice, his boy-next-door image and as the
judges pointed out; he always stayed in his personality.

Before host Ryan Seacrest announced the result, judge
Simon Cowell had some words for the top two rivals "I thought
you were both brilliant, unusually incredibly nice people and
I think the both of you should be very proud of what you've
achieved last night and the future's all yours".

After Ryan unveiled the winner with almost one hundred million
votes cast, even Kris Allen was stunned himself saying "I'm sorry...
I don't know what to feel right now, but this is crazy!"

The season eight finale was packed by a number of great
performances from former American Idol contestants and
artists like; Keith Urban, Carlos Santana, Queen Latifa,
Jason Mraz, Cyndi Lauper,Lionel Richie, Fergie,
the Black Eyed Peas and others.
