The Dark Horse had reached the TOP!

The Eight Season of the reality/talent show American Idol had reached its end, crowning the new winner: KRIS ALLEN.

A 23 year old college student from Conway, Arkansas had won the title of one of the most famous show in the world. But not everyone expected it to happened since his competitor, Adam Lambert, was really an early favorite. With the talent and showmanship Adam has in every performance, it's pretty much obvious that he will win the title. Even the judges, especially Simon and Paula, believed that he is deserving to win until the end.

But at a certain time in the competition, the table started to turn. Kris Allen, whom they called the Dark Horse, started to improved his performances and even amazed the judges. With his guitar and piano playing skills, he earned his spot in the final two, and even the heart of a lot of people.

Even Danny Gokey, which was also one of the favorites and was expected to be with Adam in the finals, was voted out in the competition. This just showed that there were already a lot of Kris Allen fans, that includes me, who watches the show.

But honestly, I expected Danny to win the crown if only he wasn't booted out. He has a great singing voice which is better than Kris', and more smooth than Adam's. But then, that's not enough for him to advanced.

With Kris' stellar performances with songs like Falling Slowly, She Works Hard for the Money, Ain't no Sunshine and Heartless, he emerged as the winner of American Idol Season 8. His first single for his album would be No Boundaries, which was co-written by Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, and was performed by him after he was declared the winner.


Well, good luck Kris with your upcoming career in Hollywood! Hope you show everyone why you deserved winning the title as the winner of the American Idol.

Peace out!
