Dark-horse Kris Allen came from behind to beat out the heavily favored Adam Lambert on a shocking American Idol finale Wednesday night after nearly 100 million votes were counted. After the biggest upset in the show's eight seasons, Allen was speechless and managed only the words: “Adam deserves this.” The night's musical spectacular included performances by the top 13 finalists as well as Rod Stewart, Fergie, Jason Mraz, Queen and Steve Martin (really!).
