Who knew? At the beginning of the competition I would have never expected him to win this season, out of all the people there and now the "black horse" is the new American Idol. He deserves it, congrats to Kris.

Here's a detailed recap about the finale tonight: it was an O.K. finale, the highlight for me was David Cook's performance of "Permanent" which was probably one of the best overall performances of the past two nights, ha, go figure. It was incredible, he got a standing ovation - enough said. Lil Rounds performed a duet with Queen Latifah, I thought it was damn awful. Jason Mraz came out to sing "I'm Yours", my favorite song of the past year... but I'm a little confused as to why they picked Alexis Grace and Anoop Desai to sing with him instead of Matt Giraud and Megan Joy who fit that genre of music more. Anyway, that performance was good, proved to me that Alexis Grace went home way too soon. Tonight's winner Kris Allen performed a duet with country singer Keith Urban on the song "Kiss a Girl" interesting duet but a great one nonetheless. Later on, Fergie performed "Big Girls Don't Cry" with the five final girls this season. All I have to say is that Megan looked hot and Fergie needs to go back to blonde soon! Following this performance, the Black Eyed Peas came together to perform "Boom Boom Pow". The boring "Idol Awards" continue and 'bikini girl' comes back to kiss Ryan Seacrest again and sing "Vision of Love" for the last time sporting a horrible tan and a noticeable new boob job. That part, I enjoyed very much lol. The shocker came when judge Kara DioGuardi (who called 'bikini girl' a bitch during her audition) popped out of the stairs and took over the song and all I have to say is that she did a terrific job. That woman can sing! Back to this season's finalists, Allison Iraheta performed "Time After Time" with Cindy Lauper then third place finalist Danny Gokey performed a great duet with Lionel Richie. Runner-up Adam Lambert took the stage with KISS for one hell of a collaboration, easily my favorite Adam performance during the whole competition. The final group performance had the Top 13 sing the hit single "Smooth" with the talented Carlos Santana on the electric guitar, Megan Joy and Michael Sarver performed a song called "Pretty Flowers" which was heavy on the banjo with comedian Steve Martin, quite an interesting performance. Finally, both Adam and Kris performed Queen's "We Are the Champions" and shortly after the time to reveal the winner came. All that said, the winner of American Idol 2009 is announced to be Kris Allen. The new Idol then performed the coronation song "No Boundaries".
