Kris Allen On Whether Sexuality & Religion Aided His ‘Idol’ Win

‘American Idol’ season eight winner Kris Allen sat down with Billy Bush to talk about his victory on Wednesday night over Adam Lambert, and whether speculation over Adam’s sexuality may have played a role in the results. “Hopefully this thing is not about sexuality or religion. There was people talking about whether I was getting the Christian vote with Danny Gokey gone. We were both talking about that and we hope that is not the case. We hope it’s about or musical talent and what we do on stage.”
