Washington, May 21: Kris Allen the shy 23-year-old singer from Conway, Arkansas, won the 'American Idol' season-eight crown to the surprise of many including himself.

When the host Ryan Seacrest announced the results Allen was stunned and could not believe it.

Allen is the first 'idol' winner to get an official trophy, in the shape of an old-fashioned microphone.
