Is it just my imagination, or are a lot of people fuming over the new American Idol winner Kris Allen? I've read a few blogs, and I've been disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm for Kris's win. Adam Lambert seems to be getting more press than Kris is. You wouldn't think the runner up would get more attention than the winner himself; but there it is.

I don't think Kris Allen is being given enough credit for his win. Kris is a multi-talented musician and vocalist. I enjoy his down-to-earth acoustic style. The duet he did with Keith Urban was entertaining. It was a sweet song and just the sort of music I would expect Kris to come out with. He has a genuine soulful sound that I think a lot of people enjoy and relate to. Plus he is very creative in his music renderings.

I don't find Kris to be dull or boring. His performances and vocals are heartfelt and authentic, to borrow a word from judge Paula Abdul. I don't think he would have gotten so many votes if he wasn't worthy of them. I understand that Danny's votes may have been a factor, but I'm sure there are a lot of Kris fans out there who voted with their hearts. (Thirty eight million votes in his hometown alone.)

I think the press should be fair to Kris Allen and give him the time that is due him, favorable time worthy of an American Idol winner, one who won fair and square.

A hearty congratulations to you, Kris Allen. I hope you go far and succeed at your dreams for many years to come.
