American Idol Finale: Kris Allen & Adam Lambert sings "We Are The Champions" by Queen members (with Video)

American Idol Finale: Kris Allen & Adam Lambert sings "We Are The Champions" by Queen members (with Video). American Idol finalists Kris Allen & Adam Lambert joined by Queen members for Freddie Mercury's classic.

Singing their first-ever duet, the friendly rivals perched just above the judge's pit as the spotlight hit their all-black ensembles and the iconic first notes of Queen's "We Are the Champions" washed over the crowd. Looking over at Lambert and smiling, Allen went first, singing the triumphant rock anthem's opening couplet, "I've paid my dues, time after time/ I've done my sentence, but committed no crime."

Lambert and Allen's voices meshed nicely on the sometimes tricky-to-sing power ballad from Queen's 1977.

that finale was absolutely awesome; it so made up for that lame/boring last performance episode
