KRIS ALLENation!

Kris Allen

Yay, Kris Allen won American Idol Season 8! He's one of my favourite contestants in AI. Both finalists, Kris and the rock star, Adam Lambert, are great, and I didn't really mind who won because both of them deserved to win the competition. Both have stunning talent and personalities, complete package (good looking , for sure!).

I thought this year's AI was going to be like last year's. Last year, the rock star, David Cook won AI (Adam Lambert is more like Cook), leaving David Archuletta at second place (yeah Kris Allen is more like Archuletta, but with less nerdy look!). Sure Americans changed their view this year. No matter what, I hope Kris will hit music industry faster than Adam, unlike David Cook who seems to be invisible now, compared to David Archuletta (shite, "A Little To Not Over You" is playing in my head right now!).

"Kris Allen is a singer/songwriter from Conway, Arkansas. His passion for music began when he taught himself to play the guitar at age 13, and he has since learned the piano, viola and ukulele. His talents and soulful voice have given him the opportunity to perform at numerous music venues as well as the chance to share his gifts and faith with many of the under privileged and oppressed people of the world. His travels to Spain, Morocco, Thailand, Burma, Mozambique and South Africa have influenced his music and inspired him to share it with others. Kris debuted his first full-length CD, "Brand New Shoes", in September 2007. The album spotlights his musical capabilities in songwriting, guitar, piano and vocals. Kris is known for his laidback and unassuming personality, and his music itself is full of depth, energy and soul. "
