Kris Allen is the American Idol 8 Winner and Why Adam Lost?

This season's a rollercoaster ride for our Top 13 and both for Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. But a whirlwind ended up the Finale as Kris Allen, the underdog and darkhorse of the competition, won the coveted title of American Idol 2009.

Adam Lambert became this season's David Archuleta, with probably the biggest upset in the American Idol history.

Kris Allen performed No Boundaries and the Finale was jampacked with stars and rock bands.

Kris and Adam also won Ford Hybrid each.

Top 13 performed with some of the known artists like Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Ritchie and Kiss.

So Why Adam Lost?

Simply because Kris has the worldwide appeal, the more flexible music taste, the fresh vibe, the charms and the total package to win.

Kris also gained momentum these past two weeks. He surpassed Adam in polls and ITunes hits. He had the best song of the season, with Heartless and Ain't No Sunshine.

As for Adam, well, he is Adam and he was Adam through and through each week. It was great for Kris to break and cross that Adam winning barrier. His streak gave him the win. Adam got plain and unexciting, when Kris surprised us. That's why Kris won and Adam lost.

Adam will be very successful in America :)

PS: The biggest upset. Matt G no solo. Megan and Sarver had a duet. :(
