Underdog Kris Allen beating front-runner Adam Lambert won 2009’s American Idol 8 singing competition on May 19.
Arkansas student Kris Allen won the eighth season of “American Idol” on Wednesday, dealing an unexpected defeat to singing rival Adam Lambert on the most popular U.S. television show. Allen, 23, who won over audiences with his all-American good looks and by putting his personal spin on popular tunes, appeared shocked as Lambert, a 27-year-old musical theater actor, embraced him after host Ryan Seacrest’s announcement.
Congrats!
