Who says looks don't get you far? Certainly no one who watched last night as Kris Allen took the coveted title of American Idol Season 8 winner. After the announcement, he seemed as shocked as we all were and was left with very little to say.
How is it that Kris Allen was able to take home the grand prize when Lambert is clearly the stronger, more artistic and original singer? Well, Allen is simply more likable. Perhaps because of his looks or perhaps because he is the boy next door. As Lambert was by far the most original, "out of the box" contestant the show has ever seen, Allen was one of the most humble, docile and quite frankly, best looking ones.

Without questions, American Idol, the most corrupted Reality Show on TV history. Remove Simon, and there may be some hope in the future. Or is there? From Allison to Danny to Adam to Kris. They were all strategically moved peons to bamboozle viewers and fans alike to gobble highly priced ads to fill Fox deep pockets. The American people votes? A Royal masquerade....and the 100 millions votes supposedly called in? A number grossly inflated that only an already fooled American people could believe in. You will ALL see only ONE thing: genuine talent buried under Fox Politics and thirst of "Drama", using Allison as a Yoyo to fuel controversy and increase Ads sale. In the end Art under any shape has no importance, only the bottom line number of the show business: PROFIT. Sad. - This time the yoyo was Kris!
