Kris Allen, the Kid from Arkansas upsets the Rockstar Adam Lambert!
Last night a soft spoken lad from Conway, Arkansas beat out a tall flamboyant kid from San Diego, California to become America’s newest Idol. At least that’s what I heard on the radio this morning because I don’t watch the show. The way the commentators on New Orleans’ WWL radio station were talking the glamrock kid, Adam Lambert, got ripped off in the voting because they thought he was much better than the folksy Kris Allen. The WWL talking heads kept saying that the voting system was rigged
and that they needed to come up with a better system.
Ummmm, guys… its a Talent show. The results are completely subjective. If Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert in a vote by the fans then Kris did a better job of it. The name of the show says it all. It’s AMERICAN IDOL
not America’s Best Singer.
Congratulations go out to both young men for rising to the top in a highly competitive endeavor. They’ve both got a world of new opportunities out there. For the talking twits on WWL… fortunately I don’t have to listen to them all the time.
