rocker, the Southern gentleman beat the singer with the guyliner. Kris Allen
bested Adam Lambert for the Season 8 crown on "American Idol" Wednesday night.
Kris, the 23-year-old from Conway, Ark., pulled off the ultimate upset,
garnering enough of the just under 100 million votes cast to snatch victory away
from Adam, a contestant many pundits and viewers had pegged as a heavy favorite.
With his win, the understated and laid-back Kris now looks forward to a
million-dollar record deal. Photo GalleriesView all photo galleries (8)   |
