It’s no surprise, but American Idol winner Kris Allen has signed a record deal with 19 Recordings/Jive Records.
His debut album is expected to be released in the fall.
Allen beat runner-up Adam Lambert during the finale May 20.
Although I was glad that Allen beat Lambert in the competition, I’m still not happy that Allen was named the American Idol winner.
Allen is a good singer, but I don’t think he was better than Anoop Desai, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey or Matt Giraud.
Again, I’m not saying Allen isn’t talented. I know he’s talened.
However, in my humble opinion, I believe any of those four that I listed above would have made a better American Idol.
