(Don’t continue reading if you don’t want to know the result.) It came down to Kris Allen and Adam Lambert on the final show of American Idol Season 8 tonight at Nokia Theater in Los Angeles tonight (May 20). Allen, the boy next door vs the glam and very much gay Adam Lambert. Lambert was the short priced favorite going into the season finale, but knowing who the winner is upfront doesn’t make for good television.

The two-hour show, with the result coming at the end included former Idol winners Carrie Underwood and David Cook, as well as Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Queen Latifah, Black Eyed Peas and Keith Urban.

100 million votes later, we got to the result: Kris Allen won.

Apparently America was more comfortable voting for the non-gay contestant, one who certainly has a lot of talent, but one that vocally at least wasn’t the superior choice.

Hopefully Adam Lambert will use the opportunity of not winning to launch a stellar career. We look forward to listening to his first album.

Spoiler Alert: Who Won American Idol Season 8 is a post from: The Inquisitr

America has voted and this years final two contestants on American Idol are Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.

In an overly long show that featured a performance by Katy Perry, a plug for a charity from Alicia Keys, and some serious cross promotion for Night at the Museum 2 featuring Ben Stiller, Danny Gokey was finally shown the door.

The result was somewhat of a surprise. Lambert has long been the short priced favorite, but Allen was in the bottom 3 only two weeks ago, where as Gokey had been a crowd favorite and an early front runner for this years competition.

The American Idol Final 2 2009 show will air next Tuesday, with the winner of American Idol being announced Wednesday May 20.

And I nearly forgot to add: Go Adam Lambert!
