KRISurat

So just like the EPL, American Idol is done and dusted. And after sitting for my paper today, I think I'm done and dusted.

Just like the post EPL mayhem, there are all kinds of talk going on about this season's winner American Idol. Conspiracy theories la, flawed voting system all, like what has ever happened to the term humble in victory, gracious in defeat. Like come on la people, look at it objectively.
Is Kris Allen no less deserving than Adam Lambert as AI winner? Was his win based on pure luck than talent? Are you saying he simply bundled his way to the final stage without merit?

I'm a fan of both but looking at the bigger picture, Kris has the complete package and the more universal appeal. That's it.

Adam has the bigger voice but the makciks are never going to pluck in their earphones beneath their tudung and headbang along with his music. Instead, they prefer Kris's more soothing voice to joget zapin to with Nas as the instructor.
Maybe the fan can follow the lead of their idols themselves. Kris was as ever humble and downplayed his victory while Adam was all smiles and gracious.

So enough of the sour grapes. And that includes you Rafa.
