And Your New American Idol is… Kris Allen. Yup, in an upset to everyone but me (go ahead, ask my girlfriend, I told her Kris would win), Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert to take the title of “American Idol” this year. It probably bodes better for Adam to not win, it can keep him a little more low-key as any other stories about him might come out, and he seems aggressive enough to push his own agenda while the soft-spoken Kris will probably need the entire Idol publicity machine to reach gold, or platinum as it were.
