The American Idol

As many people now know, Kris Allen was crowned the Season 8 American Idol on Wednesday May 20 in what may be the biggest upset in American Idol history. Kris Allen was the dark horse throughout the competition, starting from a little unknown guy to being in the top two next to early fan favorite, Adam Lambert. In a show for the ages, Kris Allen came up on top.

A Kris Allen MiniBio

His Journey

The 23-year old from Conway, Arkansas had no idea that he was going to be the next American Idol. He didn't have much confidence, saying to the judges that there are probably people out there that have better voices them him. But something in him made the judges give him that golden ticket to Hollywood. After getting through Hollywood week and the semi-finals, he was on the stage of the Kodak Theater, in the Top 13. At this point in the competition, there was still very few people who knew who he was. However, as the weeks progressed, he made a name for himself. Solid performance after solid performance kept him in the competition. Then, near the end, he started singing spectacular songs, most notably "Heartless" and "Ain't No Sunshine." This late season peak propelled him past early season favorite Adam to claim the title.
