kris-allen-american-idol-2009Who won American Idol 2009 Season 8? The American Idol Winner will be announced tonight on FOX for the 2 Hour Idol Grand Finale starting at 8 p.m. EST, and we’re LIVE with the May 20, 2009 American Idol Finale Results Show Recap, complete with American Idol Final performances, “Surprise” Guest Performances, Duets, VIDEOS and the announcement of Who Won American Idol 2009 between Adam Lambert and Kris Allen!

“THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!!” Just under 100 MILLION Votes came in, record setting number of 624 Million votes this season! Ryan introduces the Idol judges Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell.

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert walk down the stairs onto the stage. Audience going wild. Both are “nervous and excited”. Clips of LIVE broadcasts in San Diego (hosted by Carly Smithson) and Arkansas (hosted by Michaela Gordon) of fans waiting to hear who wins the American Idol crown tonight.

The Top 13 are singing “So What” by Pink. All the contestants are wearing white outfits, looking good. Group performances usually suck, and this is one isn’t much different. Pitchy in places, and finally over. Whew. VIDEO

David Cook is singing “Permanent“, the tribute song to his brother Adam who died recently from brain cancer. 100% of proceeds go to David’s charity “ABC Square”. David Cook’s single will go on sale immediately following the show tonight, so be sure to download it on iTunes! David Cook’s performance is spectacular, a blockbuster if there ever was one! The emotional performance, with David having tears in his eyes, was phenomenal. “It’s a tough song” says David to Ryan. VIDEO

Ryan is handing out the “Golden award” trophy for the worst Idol contestant wannabe from Season 8. Ugh…, the sound of these voices is painful. The winner is…. Nick Mitchell who attempted to sing “And I Am Telling You” during auditions. Oh No, Nick is now singing I’m Not Going AGAIN!!! Please No!!! Whew, that’s finally over.

Lil Rounds and Queen Latifah DUET Performance – “Cue The Rain” – Latifah doesn’t appear to really be singing and Lil Rounds is all over the place.

Alexis Grace, Anoop Desai and Jason Mraz singing “I’m Yours”. Alexis started off very off-key, but all in all, not too bad. VIDEO

Video clip of “Journey of Kris Allen” on American Idol Season 8.

Kris Allen and Keith Urban duet “Kiss A Girl” performance. Kris and Keith are playing guitar, uptempo, sounding really good. VIDEO

The Top 13 Idol girls start singing “Glamorous” by Fergie, then bring Fergie out to sing “Big Girls Don’t Cry”. Megan Joy and Jasmine Murray sucked big time!

The Black Eyed Peas are singing “Boom Boom Pow” with lots of censoring. Idol cuts out momentarily to show just the show logo and cuts off the sound during the ahem… questionable lyrics. VIDEO

More freak awards. It’s Katrina the “Bikini Girl”. She’s singing too, or at least trying to, wearing a bikini of course. Kara DioGuardi helps her on stage with the singing, and opens her black dress to reveal a black bikini!!! OMG!

Allison Iraheta and Cyndi Lauper duet performance “Time After Time”. Cyndi’s playing the autoharp. Not bad at all. VIDEO

Danny Gokey sings “Hello” and then the duet medley performance with Lionel Richie of some of Lionel’s hits. Very good performance. VIDEO

The “Journey of Adam Lambert” on American Idol clips.

Adam Lambert sings “Beth” then the duet performance rocking with KISS singing “Rock-n-Roll All Night”. The Nokia Theatre Idol House is Rockin Tonight! Adam’s wearing a weird outfit with wings, and KISS (and Adam) are wearing those hideously high heeled platform shoes KISS is known for. Too funny. Awesome duet performance! VIDEO

Carlos Santana, playing guitar to “Black Magic Woman” and “Smooth” with the Top 13 Idol performers. Santana is simply spectacular! VIDEO

Final Ford Video “I Will Remember You” with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. David Cook surprises Kris Allen and Adam Lambert with keys to a brand new Ford Fusion. VIDEO

Steve Martin playing banjo as Michael Sarver and Megan Joy destroy their duet song performance “Pretty Flowers” written by Steve Martin. Michael and Megan both sounded out of breath throughout the entire song, pitchy all over the place. Just BAD. VIDEO

The Top Idol guys sing Rod Stewart’s “If You Think I’m Sexy”. Rod Stewart takes the stage to sing “Maggie“. Rod is an icon, but he doesn’t sound good tonight, verrrry verrrry pitchy. How old is Rod Stewart anyway? I love ya Rod, but yikes……not a good performance. VIDEO

Oh Lord, one more Golden Award for the Idol wannabe’s. Ouch. Tatiana Del Toro wins and runs onto the stage to get her award, and starts singing while Ryan says “we have to take a break” and runs around the stage to avoid “security”. Planned….

Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are singing “We Are The Champions” with Queen! Surprise Guest Performance is QUEEN!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! AWESOME PERFORMANCE!!! Definitely worth downloading on iTunes after the show! AWESOME!!! Great harmony! VIDEO

THIS IS IT!!! The American Idol Finale 2009 Results Are In from last night’s performance. Lights are dimmed and here we go….

The Winner Of American Idol 2009 is……………………KRIS ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  VIDEO

Major Upset Shocker for Adam Lambert fans! I bet Simon Cowell is shocked!!! Kris says “Adam deserves this”. Kris Allen is awarded the winner’s trophy. Kris says “Oh My God, I don’t even know, thank you so much”.

Kris Allen sings the Coronation Song “No Boundaries”. Kris Allen Wins American Idol 2009!!! The Confetti falls onto the Idol stage, everyone’s hugging and clapping.

American Idol May 19, 2009 Top 2 Finale-Adam Lambert Kris Allen Face Off For The Win

Written by on May 17, 2009 · 6 Comments

UPDATE: Watch our LIVE American Idol Finale Adam Lambert vs Kris Allen Finale Showdown! The American Idol Finale on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 will be a real nail-biter, full of suspense to find out who will be the winner of American Idol 2009 Season 8. On Tuesday, May 19, 2009, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen will do their best to win your votes and become the crowned king of Season 8 on American Idol. Who will win American Idol Season 8 is anyone’s guess, but whoever wins the American Idol crown will have won due to having more votes than the other.

The official list of songs (spoilers) to be sung by Adam Lambert and Kris Allen haven’t been released, and typical American Idol Spoilers are often wrong until right after the American Idol Rehearsals are held and confirmed.

We do know that the American Idol Season 8 Finale will have three songs performed by the Top 2 Finalists, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Kris Allen won the coin toss and chose to have Adam Lambert sing first during the final show, instead of the typical “pimp spot” Adam’s been used to. Kris Allen will sing last and close the show on Tuesday night.

UPDATE 1: Adam Lambert is going to sing Change Is Gonna Come and Adam’s Personal Song Choice is Mad World “with a little twist”. Kris Allen is seriously considering “Falling Slowly” (or “Heartless”, but leaning more towards Falling Slowly). But then again, maybe not! Newest spoiler rumors are that Kris Allen was NOT rehearsing either Falling Slowly nor Heartless! See what I mean about “spoilers”?

UPDATE 2: Kris Allen will sing “What’s Goin On” (by Marvin Gaye) “Ain’t No Sunshine” tonight on American Idol!

UPDATE 3: Steve Martin will be breaking out his banjo to perform a tune from his album of banjo music, according to ET Online. OMG!

UPDATE 4: ROD STEWART will be performing on tomorrow night’s American Idol Finale!!!

  • Round 1 – The Contestant’s Favorite – Favorite song of the season, according to Idol host Ryan Seacrest
  • Round 2 – Simon Fuller’s Pick – Previously chosen by Clive Davis last year
  • Round 3 – The Winner’s Single Coronation Song – Only one winner/coronation song called “No Boundaries” will be performed this year, apparently co-written by Idol Judge Kara DioGuardi

Next week’s finale at Nokia Theatre will include a lineup of talent including performances by past American Idol winners Carrie Underwood (Season 4) and David Cook (Season 7). Lionel Richie, Carlos Santana, Cyndi Lauper, Queen Latifah, Jason Mraz, Black Eyed Peas and Keith Urban are also among the artists scheduled to perform on Wednesday’s Finale before either Kris Allen or Adam Lambert is crowned the Season 8 winner.

Idol producers are trying to get as many Idol winners back for the Finale as humanly possible. Keith Urban will perform a duet with Kris Allen – Cyndi Lauper performs a duet with Allison Iraheta. Rumors across the net claim that Idol producers are trying to get David Bowie to sing a duet with Adam Lambert. Danny Gokey will duet with Lionel Richie and Santana will perform with all of the Idol contestants in attendance. Rumors are that Britney Spears will perform on American Idol but Perez Hilton says No she won’t.

UPDATE: Bad news: The David Bowie/Adam Lambert duet fell through. Darn it! That would have been very cool! Theres like a 5% chance it will happen so they are still working on someone to perform with Adam at the finale.

The American Idol 2009 Finale showdown can’t come soon enough for Idol fans, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen fans. Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote and Vote some more! There are 4 hours of voting time available for your votes! Who will win American Idol 2009? What songs should Adam Lambert and Kris Allen choose to repeat on Tuesday night as their contestant’s favorite?

Who Will Win American Idol 2009? Adam Lambert vs Kris Allen American Idol Finale

Written by on May 17, 2009 · 10 Comments

adam-lambert-kris-allen-american-idol-finale-2009

Who will win American Idol 2009? Who do you think should win American Idol? Kris Allen or Adam Lambert? We’ve added a new American Idol Poll on the right sidebar where you can vote for who you hope wins American Idol on Wednesday, May 27, 2009.

The American Idol 2009 Finale is going to be spectacular, with rumors and predictions flying around the internet claiming Adam Lambert can’t possibly beat Kris Allen and become the winner of American Idol 2009. What do you think?

There is of course the newly “leaked” pictures of Adam Lambert circulating the net, that is creating a buzz about Adam Lambert’s “gayness” as being the primary reason why Adam won’t win American Idol next week. Seriously people.., are Americans so wrapped up in Adam Lambert’s personal sexual preferences, that being “gay” should be the reason for Adam to lose to Kris Allen? Grow up and get over yourselves already. Adam Lambert may or may not be gay or homosexual – Adam has never publicly denied or admitted to being gay, but is it really any of our business? No, it’s not.

Kris Allen fans certainly hope he’ll win American Idol next week, and considering the fact that websites like “Vote For The Worst” is encouraging Adam Lambert haters readers to vote for Kris next week in order to beat Adam Lambert, who will actually win American Idol during the finale is anyone’s guess.

“we say vote for the other guy who blends into wallpaper. He may not be interesting, but VFTW’s creed says we have to vote for the person the producers and audience would hate to see win. It’s a long shot, but if the other guy pulls off the win, Adam Lambert’s fans would be furious. The judges would be angry. The record execs would be forced to sign White Bread Guy. It’s perfect. Adam will be signed by 19E whether he wins or not. Let’s also force them to sign the other guy.”

Voting for the American Idol Finale will last for 4 hours. If you want Adam Lambert to win American Idol, prepare yourself to vote non-stop for the entire time the phone lines are open. If you want Kris Allen to win American Idol, vote non-stop until the phone lines are closed and no more calls or text messages are allowed. Whoever will win American Idol is up to YOU, the American Idol fans.Vote, Vote, Vote and Vote some more.
