Even though it was a shocking results show, Ellen DeGeneres admires how Adam Lambert, the American Idol season 8 runner-up, handled his loss to this year's champ Kris Allen.
DeGeneres, while talking to Lambert on the phone, stated, "I'm very happy for (Allen), but I think everyone thought you were going to have this thing. The way people were talking and the way you reacted when his name was called, it was like you were his dad. You were so genuinely happy for him they way you kind of grabbed his shoulders and hugged him, and I thought you were so gracious. I just want to say I loved how you handled that."
Lambert replied, "Thank you. I was really mentally prepared to have whatever happen, happen. He (Allen) was shocked -- I had to shake him a little bit."
