American Idol
Oh man. I really should give up all American media: it's nothing but heartache.
I like Kris, I think he's a sweet guy and I think he does what he does (with limit range) very well. I especially liked his acoustic version of Come Together, and I think he connects well with an audience. But man... he did not deserve to win. In vocal ability and star quality--surely the two most important things in an Idol--Adam was his superior. I guess in the end Adam was too love-him-or-hate-him for the mainstream audience.
I know Adam will be genuinely happy for Kris, but DAMN IT I wanted that win. :(
ETA: Illuminating article about the reasons for the win.
