After a staggering 100 million votes and two hours of fluff, Kris Allen was crowned the American Idol champ. It was a shocking win, as Adam Lambert had been the favorite since the beginning of the season. There wasn't a dry eye in the house of the packed Kodak Theater in Los Angeles as Ryan Seacrest announced that the clean-cut Alabama country boy had prevailed against the theatrical glam rocker with the incredible Steven Tyler-esque pipes.

"Adam deserves this," a choked-up Kris Allen said immediately after his win.

Filler highlights included a performance by the Black Eyed Peas and a return of bikini girl Katrina Darrell, who had a Vision of Love sing-off against judge and resident hater, Kara DioGuardi - a show that ended with Kara out-singing Katrina and then opening her dress to reveal her hot bikini bod.

Adam Lambert sang alongside KISS, a performance which consisted of Gene Simmons sticking his tongue out between every repetitive riff of "Rock and Roll All Night" as well as pyrotechnics to divert the attention away from their mediocrity. Lambert came out on top though, making the song tolerable with amazing vocal crescendos.

Carlos Santana played "Black Magic Woman" with Matt Giraud, which turned into a "Smooth" sing-a-long with the top 13 Idol contestants.

Before Kris Allen was announced the American Idol winner, he and Adam Lambert sang an amazing rendition of "We Are the Champions" with Queen.

So - what do you think? Do you think Kris Allen is worthy of the title? Was Lambert robbed? Well, we at Bodog Beat loved 'em both and think Kris Allen is a nice boy who deserves the break. And Adam Lambert will be a star no matter what - so in the end, they're both winners. Awww, bless their hearts. And at least Kris Allen's win will make someone happy.
