Idol Winner Kris Allen is Going to Disney World

Posted: 22 May 2009 01:05 AM PDT

You knew it was coming – American Idol winner, Kris Allen, is going to Disney World and he's got the commercial to prove it. As he sings "When You Wish Upon a Star," footage of Kris through his lifetime and of his journey on the Idol is shown and I think it's really cute. He is only the second singer to star in a Disney commercial (season 7 winner, David Cook, was the first) in the more than twenty years since they started making them. Check it out:

American Idol 8 Finale Red Carpet Pictures

There were so many stars on the red carpet last night for the American Idol season 8 finale that I wouldn't even dream of trying to list them here.

Of course, there were the finalists, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, along with the rest of the Top 13 and judges but the celebrities (and former contestants) came out in droves to see who would win the singing competition.

It looks like season four winner, Carrie Underwood, hurt her knee somehow since she’s got her “owie” all covered up with four Hello Kitty bandaids. She still managed to look absolutely fabulous!

Post-Finale American Idol Interviews with Kris and Adam

Posted: 21 May 2009 10:41 AM PDT

The season is over and Kris Allen was named this year's winner of American Idol. Of course, it's the day after and there are interviews with them popping up all over the internet. My friend, Zack Taylor, has a great collection of interviews with Blake Lewis, Bo Bice, Simon Cowell and more (check it out!).

In this FOX NY interview, I thought Kris was pretty adorable (okay, he's pretty adorable all the time – I love his humility!) as he talked about how winning Idol could change his life and his global missionary efforts.

Adam maintains that, at no point last night, was he disappointed in any way. He stressed that they were both winners (and, for once, it seemed like someone actually meant that when they said it).

The interviewer also asked how they felt about their nicknames, "The Guy Next Door" (Kris) and "Guyliner" (Adam). Adam nodded his head and said "it's appropriate" and I seriously cracked up. I love that!

Also, TMZ stopped Idol judge, Randy Jackson, and asked him what he thought about the results. He basically said that America never gets it wrong. Check it out:
