Kris's wholesome boy next door image is a stark contrast to Adam's stylish, charismatic presence
Expect the unexpected.
Last night, the new American Idol was Kris-tened in front of millions of viewers worldwide and it wasn't Adam Lambert. Shocked? Totally. Even Kris Allen couldn't believe his ears and went like, "Adam deserves this". Kris's wholesome demeanour probably made him win in the finale. Let's not go into the conspiracy theory we heard about Danny's vote went to Kris after his surprise elimination from the final 3 last week.
As for Adam Lambert's career post-AI, the surviving members of the rock band Queen has finally found their rightfully heir after Freddie Mercury's demise. Adam's rendition of We Are The Champions together with the group proved just that. Awesome performance.
In a tradition of American Idol, fillers were added to delay results until the final minutes. This is the part I look forward the most where they were group numbers usually a pairing of one or more Idol contestant with famous celebrities. Another biggest favorite would be the mock MTV-like award presentation; The Golden Idol awards.
I sort of knew it was Nick Mitchell and his alter ego Norman Gentle, the lunatic comedian who bagged the award for Outstanding Male. I loved him for doing a spoof in his Oscar-style speeches and tore off his clothes halfway and began his cabaret-style singing and stole the show effortlessly. Totally hilarious dude!
Not forgetting, the super-whiney drama queen, Tatiana Del Toro who won the Outstanding Female category. Remember her? Yes, she was the one who didn't get the judges' vote to be in the final 13. Simon has called her the most annoying Idol contestant ever.
And the icing on the cake of course went to that slutty (oops!) beach girl, Katrina Darrell aka The Bikini Girl for daringly went on stage in her two-piece bikini to receive the award for Best Attitude. Spot on. Yeah, Katrina's super tan hot bod while parading her gedikness was every male's fantasy and deserves a standing ovation from Simon and Randy and all the male population across the universe. Indeed. Oh, did I forget to mention about Kara DioGuardi's subtle attempt at stealing the mike and limelight from Katrina? Yeah, that Bikini girl kinda look pissed. We could have witness the world's most choreographed catfight. Nah, in your dreams, guys! *LOL*
All in all, it was a good finale show if not great. The result may come as a surprise but it was well compensated by performances of great entertainers and I have to say that the Golden Idol awards segment was the best and the recipients were such good sports.
