Hi Sea!
Yes, Central Arkansas is VERY EXCITED about Kris winning! I have never voted in one of these before but I was texting my little fingers off Tuesday night and had my hubby, son, and daughter voting too. I think my husband and son only voted once each, but hey every vote counts. I heard on the news that AT&T reported that Kris had either 34 or 38 million votes from Arkansas. That is a heck of a lot of votes.
You know the 6th degree of separation theory - how they say that everyone knows everyone else in the world and that we are separated by 6 people. Well, of course, everyone here is claiming the 6th degree of separation today!
There is a lot of one upping on who might be closer to knowing him. That just cracks me up! 
Well, my son, Chris, had a 1st grade teacher named Mrs. Palmer. Mrs. Palmer is Kris Allen's aunt. Anyway, she says he is just a heck of a nice kid and is exactly like you see on TV.
One of my MIL friends, has a son, who is either a friend of Kris or his brother. There were either 3 or 4 guys who all went to the auditions together. Unfortunately, MIL's friends son didn't make it.
Which I had heard this story early in the competition but wasn't watching so I didn't really pay attention. My MIL who is in her 70's, has an indoor pool. She has lots of friends that come over in the evening to swim or exercise. They get in the pool with their floaties on and move around and watch American Idol and Dancing with the stars. They were all planning a watch party for Kris in the pool and they were going to vote like crazy! (For some reason thinking about this reminds of the Ron Howard movie Cacoon!) Anyway, I just hope I am that hip and spunky when I am in my 70's! All those women just think he is a cutie!
I just picked my DS up at school and he said it was the talk of the school. Only one person there really liked Adam. A lot of the kids checked out of school to go his concert here in Little Rock last week and then drove to Conway to see him there.
I like Adam and think he was awesome with Queen and Kiss. I was just worried that he didn't have a broad enough appeal. I do think Adam has an awesome voice and I would so go see him at a Queen reunion type of concert.
Kris seemed to have a crossover factor to hit the "Disney" teenie boppers, more modern softer pop, country, etc. He just seemed to have a broader range of appeal, like appealed to grandmoms, moms and their daughters sort of thing. I loved him with Keith Urban last night. And I am not a big country fan.
AND I think the Gokey factor worked HUGE for Kris! If the Gokey fans voted, I bet they voted for Kris. I liked Danny too!
Who knows what will become of any of these guys or Allison! I hope they are all hugely successful!

Love them BAD'Naners. 
We'll be picked up, "shoot our scene" and then will be taken down Sunset Blvd in the car, and got to choose between either RnRC or ToT to have the 1st ride of the day - ALONE.
