Idol Chatter: Kris Allen in Arkansas

Kris Allen graphic from Fox 16 Central Arkansas
FOX 16 in central Arkansas is making good on its promise to provide hourly updates on Kris Allen's hometown visit.

It's cute. But it also gives the impression — mistaken, I'm going to guess — that one of Kris' events will involve him walking on water or finding a cure for gout.

Here's some video from the day's proceedings.

  • I’m a mother and a devout Christian, too. As TV viewer, I recognize that American Idol is a singing talent contest open to all, regardless of personal orientations or religion. It is not supposed to be a popularity contest for a certain class of persons. Among all of Season 8’s contenders, Adam Lambert is the amazing artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. America’s vote for Kris, or its vote against Adam, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against that portion of America that Adam stands for. ADAM LAMBERT DESERVED TO WIN. Even Kris Allen himself knows this in his Christian heart, so much so that as soon as he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved crown, he openly admitted in public that “Adam deserves this…” — righteously adhering to glaring truth and instinctively repudiating ridiculous vote results that were surely no act of God. Adam Lambert is the true winner!
