Ryan Seacrest talked about the controversial "American Idol" season finale on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" on Friday.
Millions were shocked when Kris Allen was crowned season 8 champ and judge favorite Adam Lambert came in second. Ryan told Conan there's no doubt both singers will have fantastic careers, but Adam is "one of a kind."
The "Idol" host said America decides the winner but he thinks "that if people didn't vote for the singing, then that's a shame."
