American Idol contestant Adam Lambert is crazy talented, there’s no doubt about that. But a person can only take so much of the screeching and whining and last night, a lot of people had enough. However, dark horse competitior Kris Allen took the stage and blew all of America (including the judges) out of our seats.

He took Kanye West‘s hit ‘Heartless‘ and made it a cool, acoustic feeling song with amazing phrasing and an incredible arrangement. Take THAT, Kara DioGuardi!!! Anyone who says he isn’t as innovative as Adam Lambert can bite me. Regardless if he makes it to the finale or not, that dude proved his skills once again last night!!! That was one of the most creative, amazing performances in the history of the show, and he deserves to be there just as much- if not more- than Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert.

We love you, Kris!!
