Why did Kris Allen win American Idol?
Because his voice, while not as technically skilled, is more commercial and easier to listen to.
Because this show is driven by the votes of pre-teen girls and Kris is a much safer and sweeter, more accessible and romantic object for their affections.
Because there was no way this homophobic country was going to let a gay guy win, even if he was the more talented performer.
