I am not much of an American Idol fan, but the show has a way of working its way into your life, especially since it started receiving more votes than actual presidential elections, so I felt obligated to talk about this event. I must say that I did really enjoy the outcome of this season of American idol. I didn't really favor either Adam or Kris, I just tend to root for the underdog, and I'm glad to see that the this time, the underdog won. I also heard that Adam Lambert, before his appearance on American Idol, was the understudy for a large part on the very popular Broadway show, Wicked. I think a big part of American Idol is viewers seeing Average Joe's become Stars of the stage. When a contestant enters the show already half way there, at least for me, it kills a lot of the interest. However, Kris had already self-released an album before coming on the show, so I guess its not fair for me to say that about Adam. Anyway, Kris Allen, 23 from Conway Arkansas, Seems nice, great singer, hope he goes far unlike many of the past American Idols whose careers withered away after a couple of months.
