Although it has only been days since he won the title, but Kris Allen, the winner of American Idol season 8, has already started making headlines. Allen sung the American Anthem “Star Spangled Banner” at Game 2, final of the National Basketball Association on ABC. The match was scheduled between The Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic.

Famous celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Rihanna, Jack Nicholson, actor Zac Efron, Singer Adam Levine from the band Maroon 5 and many other were there at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California to watch the final match.

Kris, wearing a black t-shirt and denim jeans, sung the anthem very well and was appreciated by everyone present.
Well, I must remind you that he is not the first American Idol winner to sing at NBA. Previous winners like Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks and David Cook have also sung at the NBC games.

Kris Allen wasn’t an expected winner of American Idol Season 8 as throughout the show he was never considered as a powerful candidate. Instead, Adam Lambert was most likely to emerge as the winner of the season. But Kris surprised everyone when it was declared that he had won with about 100 million votes. He was on the seventh heaven and it was clear that his winning was unexpected even for him.

But it’s not what everyone thinks. Paula Abdul, judge of American Idol, says “He deserved to win”. According to her, Kris is a good singer and she is very optimistic about his future.

When asked about his future performances, Kris said “I just want to get through it and not make any mistakes”.
Well we too expect the same and wish “all the best” to Kris for his future.
