Kris Allen Wins - Best American Finale Ever!

I was and still am a huge Clay Aiken fan. The Reuben Studdard and Clay Aiken American Idol Finale has always gone down as the best finale. I really think the producers of American Idol did a fantastic job on the finale this season. They had wonderful guest stars, and it was exciting the whole way through.

Here are what my highlights of the 2009 American Idol Finale were:

Thought the gig with Kara and Katrina was hysterical. A bit like the Clay Aiken surprise at the 3rd finale, but Katrina so deserved it. And Katrina actually looked mad that Kara came out and stole the limelight from her. And then when Kara sported her own bikini! Too funny. (I'll admit, I really didn't like Kara this whole season, but I have a little bit different perspective of her now.)

So loved to see Cyndi Lauper with Allison. Could have cared less about Allison, but was really impressed with Cyndi. I've always loved her.
For you young uns, this is the Cyndi Lauper I know and love.

KISS totally rocked the house!!! Now that was a nice surprise. I was a huge KISS fan in Jr. High and have always loved their music. It was nice to show my son who KISS was. He kept asking, why are they dressed like that? I told him, "Hey, they were smart. They had their stage life and were able to lead a normal life off stage as no one knew what they looked like." He is now trying to figure out what kind of makeup to dress up as for his band. LOL Heaven Forbid!
Of course they had other greats on like Santana, and Rod Stewart, and Queen. The night was just spectacular! Although I'm not sure who let Queen Latifah wear that horendously tight outfit!

But the best moment, of course was that

KRIS ALLEN WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Never would have expected that. I've had him pegged all season. Actually I've had every winner pegged all season except for Clay (who has gone down as one of the top American Idol stars). I thought for sure Adam had won, but I think America really, really liked the wholesome spirit of Kris Allen.

Way to Go Kris!!
Congratulations!

I've never got into American Idol -- Maybe because I'm always busy, My son was glad he won. TFS

i wish Kris would embrace his victory better, but maybe he just needs some time for it all to soak in... In any case he'd better not wait too long, Adam is already swooping in to steal his thunder
