humble kris is new american idol
My eyes are still wet as I type this…
(actually natuyo na ang luha ko sa tagal mag-load nitong blog ko…)
Anyways…my jaw dropped and i cried when Kris Allen’s name was announced the winner. Like everyone else, I was quite sure that Adam will win the title because of his unique style on stage and it seemed that all the judges were rooting for him. Nobody else was quite like him. Until the final showdown. I realized Adam is singing all songs with the same style. (Yung dila nakalabas pag bumirit na!) He hasn’t played any instrument (i wonder if he plays one?). He is after all a theater actor. 
Even though Simon Cowell sort of crunched Kris over Adam on the final showdown…it was really obvious to everyone watching that Kris is the true artist. He plays the guitar and the piano and has a soft way of interpreting each song he delivers. Or maybe it is because he is shy and Southern that’s why people voted for him? Well…I guess the Idol stage isn’t ready for someone like Adam Lambert. It looks like he is such a non-conformist. Black nail polish for starters. Or maybe he is gay while he hasn’t admitted it yet? I see nothing wrong in that, he is just different from what we are used to.
According to this article:
Lambert’s sexuality was also a wild card - with a singing and fashion style reminiscent of gay icons from Queen singer Freddie Mercury to k.d. lang.
Over the past few months, pictures have surfaced of Lambert kissing other men, while Allen has often talked about his wife and his church attendance.
By contrast, Lambert positioned himself as a revolutionary with his eyeliner, nail polish and jet-black dye job - and aligned himself with two left-of-mainstream genres, glam-rock and goth.
Going back to the finale…it was so jam-packed with stars that I too forgot that it was the American Idol finale. It was like a fund-raising concert of USA For Africa. Di ba?
I like Kris Allen’s duet with Keith Urban better than Adam Lambert’s performance with the Kiss. (Ano ba ang mga ito? Parang kissed by dementors. Mga nakalawit ang dila!) I’m not a rock chic, by the way.
Well…like how the story goes…David won over Goliath.
