American Idol surprise ending

Wow...........quite the unexpected finish for American Idol. Kris winning instead of the so-called favorite, Adam. I personally think that Adam's "screaming" is what did him in. Once Danny was out of the running and it came down to Kris and Adam, I think the only logical place for Danny's fans to go were to Kris. It was definitely a great finale show!

America Idol finalists

The two finalists were chosen on Wednesday night. They are Adam and Kris. Should make for an interesting final on Tuesday.
