Kris Allen was named as the American Idol 2009 winner last night, and here we see darrentiff.com talk about the religious aspects of it all. You see Kris Allen is a Worship Leader at the New Life Church in Arkansas. Kris is also involved in the Chi Alpha campus ministry in the University of Central Arkansas.
Kris has now become the winner of one of the biggest reality TV talent shows in the world. They are saying in so many words that it is a great Testimony to have a believer on stage singing to millions and that it is truly amazing to be a witness for God.
Kris now has the opportunity to do God’s work and impact the world through his songs. Danny Gokey is also a worship leader. How do you feel about this, and do you think that Kris being a worship leader has made any difference to your voting decision?

You forgot to capitalize “God”. Also, Matt Giraud had two pre-idol CD’s out. Both were of the Christian R&B genre.
It looks like Jesus reigns, yesterday, today, and forever…
AMEN!
God, not god. Forever.
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 orientation or religion. It is not supposed to be a popularity contest for a certain class of persons in society. Among 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 America’s vote against Adam, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against those portions 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 the ridiculous vote results that are far from the truth. You could actually count the seconds before Kris acquiesced and finally received the crown, after Adam graciously put his arm on his shoulder in camaraderie. Adam Lambert is the true winner! What’s wrong with America? Or what’s wrong with this American Idol TV show?
I, too felt Adam Lambert should have won this season’s American Idol…and I have questioned the veracity of the “American vote” on the show. However, to use the words “hate vote” (referring to A.Lambe’s comment) is hardly fair or even sensible. Adam does not sing my particularly favorite style of music, yet I would have gladly preferred he win, based on his utterly amazing performances, due to his incredible talent. I truly expected him to win, but I also took into account that many people out there may prefer Kris’s style of music more. But saying that those who voted for Kris placed a “hate vote” against Adam & his musical style…that just seems to be stretching for something that isn’t there. If the vote had gone the other way, would people complain that voters had cast “hate votes” against Kris? No, it’s simply a matter of preferential taste. Two adverse styles of music, it’s bound to happen. Sorry you’re disappointed in the outcome, but using the term “hate” is an extremely strong — and in this case, unnecessary — word. I don’t hate Adam, I don’t hate his style, I don’t have people who like that style; I have compassion and love for them, and hope that through their preferred style of music, they will encounter Christ to the fullest.
I was actually surprised to find out after the competition that Kris Allen was a worship leader. Would this have played in my votes, no. As many have said, Adam Lambert was the better performer. Although many maynot appreciate his style – he was very good. Will Kris’s win give him a platform to witness is yet to be seen.
HOW ABOUT THIS LETS LET GOD BE THE JUDGE AND NOT US I MEAN AFTER ALL THAT IS IS JOB NOT OURSEVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON GOD HAS A PLAN AND MAYBE THAT WAS PART OF HIS PLAN IF EVERY ONE WOULD READ THEIR BIBLE JUST HALF AS MUCH AS THE JUDGED OTHER PEOPLE WE WOULD HAVE HEAVEN ON EARTH
