Too funny. Everyone seems shocked and annoyed. VFTW Victory!
Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest Insult Kris Allen on Ryan's Radio Show
Well, we definitely votes for the right guy. Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest had some harsh things to say about Kris Allen on Ryan's morning radio show on KIIS-FM. Simon mention that although Kris won by receiving the most votes, he was not the best singer. Seacrest then compared Kris to Ruben Studdard and Taylor Hicks, 2 past winners whose careers fizzled. Ouch! Looks like Kris winning is still a pretty big VFTW Victory!

Kris Allen's Studio Version of "No Boundaries"
Yep, still just as bad as it was last night, though through no fault of Kris. Kara DioGuardi may be the worst songwriter ever. Either her or Soulja Boy.
Album Covers Show Who Idol Producers Wanted to Win
A reader named Joseph sent us the 2 album covers for Adam Lambert and Kris Allen's versions of "No Boundaries". One looks like it took some effort and the other looks slapped together. Joseph also mentioned that Adam's version of the song has a ton of production while Kris's doesn't. Idol probably assumed Adam had this thing in the bag and didn't take too much time to work on Kris's art. Too bad we messed that one up.
The Associated Press Actually Sent Out a News Alert that Adam Lambert Won. Oops!
Even the press isn't sure what to do with Kris Allen's win. This makes it an even funnier VFTW victory. Seacoast Online reporter Gina Carbone wrote a whole article because she's so bitter.
Bad call, Sneaky Silent Majority. Congratulations on getting your middle of-the-road choice once again. Safe. Easy. "No Boundaries" my arse. You clearly are keeping those boundaries tightly in place. All you've done is canonize martyr Glambert -- somewhere someone is seeing his face on a piece of toast and worshipping it even more -- and making Kris Allen "The Guy Who Stole American Idol From Adam Lambert."
Hilarious! And she mentioned a funny tidbit about the AP sending out the wrong winner.
The Associated Press was ready to crown him. They sent out an AP News Alert at 10:02 p.m. Wednesday night: "Adam Lambert has won the eighth season of "American Idol," beating fellow finalist Kris Allen." They fixed it quickly to read: "CORRECTS: Kris Allen won the 8th season of "American Idol," beating finalist Adam Lambert."
No one suspected the power of VFTW and Arkansas.
Kris Allen Beat Adam Lambert By a Large Margin
The Kris Allen-Adam Lambert showdown wasn't even close according to a tweet by Billy Bush. Rumor also has it that 38 million of the 100 million votes cast last night came exclusively from Arkansas. Since most of the country voted for Adam, that would about even it out. Combine that with VFTW's help and the pissed off Danny Gokey fans, and it was easy to see why Kris won. VFTW Victory!

Adam fans fighting the 7 stages of grief over his loss? This is for you.
