Allow me to emote here for a minute fellow FreeKatians: OMG!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Kris Allen!!!! I picked him as a personal favorite when he was singing in the White Chocolate group sing in Hollywood week and figured he was cute, sounded good, so in typical Idol fashion I expected to never see or hear from him again and instead be forced to look at bloated roughnecks like Sarver and drips like Gokey (sorry all you Sarver/Gokey-ites!).

I didn't especially like the beginning of Man in the Mirror but I thought the middle and end were great and I am so glad that America recognized the cuteness and voted him in. He will be my balm each Tuesday/Wednesday evening as I am forced to watch the grossness that is Michael Sarver/Danny Gokey.

By the way, I don't know if y'all noticed because they were only on the screen for about a second, but Paula and Simon were over the top with joy at Kris making it. They were high-fiving and Simon was grinning and laughing. It was fun to see. On the other hand, when Adam made it in Simon just sat there glumly applauding.

I like Adam Lambert a lot. But it was obvious to me that he was going to make it in. Allison did great, she looks so much like she could be Kelly Clarkson's younger sister. Love her.
