And the winner is...

Kris Allen!

Yes! I am so shocked! I love American Idol, if you missed the season finale tonight you really missed a great show. I am a great lover of music and I love all different kinds of music. American Idol is so much fun because it is such a wonderful celebration of music. Every week we get to hear the greatest songs in the world (although, they aren't always sung by the greatest singers).

Tonight Rod Stewart, Steve Martin (on Banjo-did you know he got his start playing banjo at Disneyland?), Carlos Santana, Kiss, Lionel Ritchie, Cyndi Lauper, Black Eyed Peas, Keith Urban, Jason Mraz, and Queen Latifah all took the stage with the top 13 contestants and it was a great show! I wish I could have been there!!
