Worship Leader in American Idol finale

The two-part finale of juggernaut "American Idol" begins tonight. The show has become such a vehicle to promote Adam Lambert, it has gotten sickening. His competition is Kris Allen, a 23-year-old worship leader at New Life Church in Conway, Ark., who was doing missionary work in Asia and Africa during the years Lambert was building his pop resume.

Allen is one of several actively Christian musicians to make this year's Top 10, most notably being sentimental favorite Danny Gokey who finished third.
