The show tonight was filled with surprises and one big upset for me. The funniest line of the night was when Ryan Seacrest said to bikini girl, “I was going to ask you what’s new, but I think I know.” --LOL...one for Ryan.
Onward...let's quickly talk about the show after the jump (Warning: Spoiler Alert)
I had a feeling that Kris would win, I prepared myself...but I'm not happy with the results. Kris, I'm sure had all the middle and red states (geez, I feel like I'm talking about the presidential election)...and Adam had the rest. C'est la vie. Adam will have a budding career no matter what (I'm sure filled with Broadway performances)...and Kris will be just fine playing his mainstream soft acoustic rock...
Kris Allen and Adam Lambert's first single, No Boundaries is available on iTunes now. And the Idol tour kicks off July 5th in Portland, Oregon.
Until next season Gasmii...

I guess the only redeeming thing about Adam not winning is that he doesn't have to release that cheesy single... Hands down Adam is a better performer, he kept us guessing week to week in terms of what craziness he was going to bring to the stage, but I thought Kris earned a spot in the finals so although I wanted Adam to win I wasn't disappointed.
I thought the show was very entertaining and I have to say...although I was pretty meh about Kara all season she totally won me over last night. I thought her singing with bikini girl was hilarious!

Adam peaked too early, and his shreiking began to grate on America's nerves. I also think many/most people resented the way the judges basically gave him a hand job after every performance all season.
Kris is understated but talented and I think the right person won.
I'm not so sure Adam is going to be as big a star as everyone is saying. Someone is going to have to figure out what the hell to do with him and how to market him. He's not really a rocker, he's a guy who likes to play a rocker on stage.

Kris's winning had nothing to do with "red states." It had to do with the Tween vote...a very powerful vote, as evidenced by the (unfortunate) popularity of Hannah Montana.
The "gay versus straight" contest was all in the media's imagination. Middle America supports gays...as long as they have talent. And although Adam is certainly talented, and will have a good career, he lacks the warmth that Kris has.
Between that, and all the 11 year-old and under votes, It was an easy win for Kris.

I can't really add to what JasonR said -- you said it all so well.
I was okay with Kris winning. I had a feeling Adam was relieved he didn't win.
But what was interesting was that Kris couldn't hide that he was convinced he wasn't going to win.

I personally think that Adam should sing for Queen since Freddy Mercury is gone. Great pairing if you ask me. Also, I believe Kris will do well with his career he's very Jason Mraz and people seem to like that style nowadays. Plus, I was very happy with Adam singing "Beth" on of my favorite Kiss songs that you just don't hear all that often.
