Regular readers of Reality TV Scoop now how strongly we've supported Adam Lambert this season on American Idol.

Heck, earlier this week, we said the final matchup between him and Kris Allen would be akin to a Mike Tyson knockout.

To Allen's credit, however, he didn't go down last night without a fight. In fact, we were nervous that the underdog would pull out a victory, following a great opening rendition of "Ain't No Sunshine."

Following the final two performances of each contestant, however, the contrast became clear: Kris can sing, but Lambert is a rare talent. He even managed to the cheesy, Kara DioGuard-penned winner's single, "No Boundaries," into a memorable tune.

In the end, Lambert won the title (we hope) last night, more than Allen lost it.

Choose your favorite finalist: Adam Lambert or Kris Allen?
