American Idol winner Kris Allen gives his favorite backstage moment of the season:

I got a gift from [Once stars and songwriters] Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova after I sang "Falling Slowly" [from the film]. They were just like, "Thank you so much. You were great." Like, it almost brought me to tears. They gave me this vinyl of the [Once] album ( Read more... )

Oh wow! That's so sweet! I'm so happy for him! I thought it was better than other covers I've heard of this. Not that bad- nothing will ever top those two. It's just so cool that he's a Once fan!!!!

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it but... I've fallen a bit in love with him.

No, I get it. I like him, he seems very sweet and funny, and I think he took a lot of risks on the show. Sometimes his creativity paid off (Heartless, She Works Hard For the Money) and other times, let's be honest, he really missed the mark (Falling Slowly was a mess). I think his voice is very ordinary, but he's a nice guy and I appreciate what he tried to do on the show.
