It seems the consensus is that Kris Allen's win is the biggest upset in idol history. In fact, the term "upset" has been used so much it's starting to get under my skin a bit. How can you label this an upset? Every week we have no idea the specifics of how America voted. For all we know Kris Allen has been beating Adam Lambert by a million votes for the last 4 weeks. If my memory doesn't fail me (and there's no way I'm actually looking this up, so memory is all I have) Kris and Adam were in the bottom 3 and the so called "top 3" an equal amount of times this season. It's not like this is Dancing with the stars, where the competitors get a numerical score from the judges. With the exception of the amount of praise the judges had given to Adam all season long, going into the finale there was really nothing definitive that should have labeled Kris the underdog. I mean are we calling him the underdog just because 10 weeks ago Paula said we'd see Adam in the finale?
A real upset is when your favorite Basketball team has the number one seed in the western conference and you loose in the first round to the Denver Nuggets. Damn you Mutombo!
oh yeah, Adam Lambert and Kate Gosselin totally have the same hairstylist. Am I wrong?
