Kris Allen on "Ellen"

So I saw Kris Allen perform a couple songs on "Ellen" yesterday.  That guy won American Idol??  They must have really been hurting for talent this year.  I didn't watch any of this season so I may have missed some dazzling performances of his, but he just didn't seem like anything special to me.  I admit that he is more talented than myself, but if he was the winner of the entire competition, then Sanjaya probably would have had a fighting chance this year.  Kris Allen makes Ace Young looks like Marvin Gaye.  Remember Ace Young?  The cute guy who survived elimination after elimination even though he was out of his league talent-wise until he finally delivered a great performance only to be voted off the next day.  To be fair, he was probably in the most talented season of Idol- season 5- which produced the talented Elliott Yamin, Chris Daughtry, and Katherine McPhee as well as the charismatic Kellie Pickler (supporting Taylor Swift on her current tour), Bucky Covington, and the winner Taylor Hicks. If Yamin or Daughty were in the contest this year they would have cleaned Kris Allen's biological clock.  And they finished third and fourth respectively.  Now I can't say for sure because I didn't watch the season, but American Idol looks to be going down the tubes.  I only wish Danny Noriega could have had a crack at this year's talent.  That guy could sing and perform and he was super interesting.  And I may never see him perform again...
