No contest! Adam is the best singer and artist. He deserves to win this contest. I would go see him in concert and buy his CD’s. Not so for Kris. He is cute, likeable and has a nice voice, but he is not “STAR” quality in my opinion. Bottom line the one with the most votes WINS!

I wouldn’t spend a cent on Lambert. He’s a hack and would just spend his money on eyeliner and nail polish.

Adam rocked!

FTW!!

Adam is a great singer, but I can’t imagine buying his upcoming CD and listening to one over-the-top-song after the other, no matter how well he hits the high notes. Just not my cup of tea. I can imagine buying and listening to Kris’ CD. On that basis, I voted for Kris.

No Way and JRW – what the hell is wrong with ya’ll?! Adam is by far the better singer. A freakin’ deaf person could figure that out! Forget the eyeliner and nailpolish – it’s a SINGING COMPETITION!!! Judging that alone, there is no denying that Adam is the better of the 2. Yes, they have different styles, but Adam has the “it” factor – always has. Been consistent with outstanding performances since day 1. Ya’ll have no taste whatsoever – clean your ears!

Adam should most definitely win. He is by far a superior vocalist and performer compared to Kris. I can’t even imagine how much of a let down it would be to have Kris follow Adam on tour.

Adam was terrible last night. He, by far, lost the first two rounds that’s why I voted for Kris.

Kris is ok for singing around the camp fire but Adam is the rock god. Although Adam is going to need some classic songs and a great band if he’s going to get anywhere after tonight, he won’t make much of a living with “No Boundaries”

You must be deaf or wasn’t paying attention. Yes, Simon gave Kris the first round. When asked about the 2nd round, he said “100% completely goes to Adam.” You’re lame to vote for Kris – it’s not right.

I voted for Kris about a mega-gazillion times. I can’t wait to see him win and my next phone bill.

Adam’s a star, Kris is the nice but bland boy next door who can sing. Let the star shine, for heaven’s sake!

Adam is a screamer – how can anyone like that second song that was nothing but a long scream for the second half of it. He’s a glam rocker that belongs in 1987.

If Adam wins, it’s a popularity contest. If Kris wins, it’s a singing contest. Kris rules. Adam is over-rated.

you people who actually pick up a phone and vote are LLOOOSSEERRSSS…

get a life!!

Adam’s rendition of Mad World made a bad song even worse. I would rather poke needles in my eye than listen to that over indulgent trash.

Hey, I’m only 12. Gimme a break. Voting for a TV show is highlight of my otherwise boring life.

Adam belongs on some 2nd rate stage in Vegas doing some Liberace impersonations or a drag queen review. If your idea of star quality is screaming then Adam should win. Kris’s talent far exceeds what Adam has to offer. Adam’s singing is like a slap in the face where as Kris’s singing is like a kiss on the cheek! I prefer the kiss. KRIS IS GONNA TAKE IT ALL TONIGHT!!!

Hey Adam fan when has screaming been called singing. That is all the Adam does. It’s really annoying.

Hey Adam fan when has screaming been called singing. That is all that Adam does. It’s really annoying.

adam deserves to win i believe. his season run was the best i’ve seen and think he is incredibly talented. I hope he wins but kris is very much talented and a great singer aswell. i wish them BOTH the best of luck. they both seem like wodnerful people. GO ADAM!

Lisa – I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!

Trying to pick between this final two is a bit unfair, as they are both extremely talented, but radically different.

It’s really like choosing between Freddie Mercury and James Taylor.

Flashy bombast vs understated elegance.

Swagger, pitchy, (Over)indulgence, dawg, you can sing!, you have mad pipes!, cabaret, cruise ship, etc.

Can we please retire these overused adjectives/expressions from American Idol, and start fresh?

I would compare Adam to William Hung. That would be pretty close race with Hung taking a slight edge. Adam should have sung “She bangs”.

Adam rocked last night. Adam is by far a much better singer than Chris. All of u who don’t think Adam can sing must be totally deaf. Not only can he sing he is a great performer as well. He has been the top runner since day one. I think he adorable and I will buy everyone of his cd’s and let me tell u there will be many of them.

The scream that Adam does is classy, like Gene Simmons. The judges don’t mind it at all – no one has EVER made a comment abou ti, except Kara when she asked how the hell can he speak the next day when he screams like that. They are very tasteful and appropriate when he uses them – that’s what a star is, and to say Adam is a star would be the understatement of the year! Look up other articles and see what the MAJORITY of the U.S. is saying about who is winning American Idol – yea, that’s what I thought…….. keep talkin out your ass, mofo!

Adam has the swagger and artistry of a cabaret rocker but can be over indulgent and pitchy at times. But dawg, if you get Kris on a cruise ship singing karaoke with those mad pipes he will definitely bring the house down. Dude you killed it!!! Mad props baby!

Wow. Lot’s of high school bully’s on board, today.

Adam was the better of the two…and everyone needs to hear clearly and get off the “screaming” bandwagon……..he may have over done it once or twice but learn your music. Listen to the voices…
It’s getting a little tiresome hearing from people that do not like the garb Adam wears and then applies that to say ” He is not my type”..you mean not in his style, no problem…but just with voices, both are good but Adam has range…
And let’s not forget that we can say a lot of bad things about Kris’s garbs…looks like the Wal-Mart guy stikes again..”Not my type”.. ) Works both ways..

Let’s not forget that Simon is the end all be all.we all have to admit that. We all know that he is usually right on target with the contestants. Therefore, did ANYONE hear what he said to Adam last night?? He is exactly the contestant they were looking for, there has never been a contestant on the show in 8 seasons that can compare to him , and has the like-ability WORLDWIDE!!!!!! So let’s get off of everyone’s faults here and there and look at the bigger picture

Last night was the first time I watched AI this season and for the life of me why would anyone in their right mind ever want to listen to an Adam Lambert CD. That Mad World was horrible and then it just went down hill from there. What a flipping mess.

Kris is a popstar. his genre is pop.
Adam is a rockstar. his genre is rock.
Nowadays teens prefer pop, and they are the majority ones who vote.
Adam is good but he was born in 21st century,if he was born a few decades earlier, he could be BIG.
I prefer Adam.Undeniably,he can sing.

Damn… you’re right. I can’t believe I forgot to include ‘artistry’, ‘Dude you killed it’, and ‘Mad props’ from my list.

I also left out ‘This is a singing competition, and dude, you can SING!’.

Plus, any variation of ‘You’re only xxxxxxxx’ (insert age here… usually ’sixteen’ or ’seventeen’.)

Did I leave any others out?

This is a singing competition, and you can SING!
Karaoke
Swagger
Pitchy
I ndulgent
Overindulgent
Cruise ship
Mad props
You’re only sixteen
You’re only seventeen
Dawg
Cabaret
Mad pipes
You can really blow
Artistry

This would make a fun drinking game.

voters of kris: combined fans of matt,megan,scott,anoop,michael ,alexis,jorje and scream on danny. Joining forces because Adam took their idols’ dream.

voters of adam: his fans since day 1 of AI that adds up as the competition progress.

this is the first time ive watched american idol. And that last song of Kris… uuuhh.. that poor guy is having a hard time on that stage! i was afraid that th veins on his neck will explode! A true artist can sing any song well. It seems that Kris only sounds good when he is playing an instrument because he looks COOL on stage. Adam range is incredible! no wonder everybody’s talking about him!

@anonymous:

you also forgot: “for the first time we saw you..” , “ive got 6 words for you “

@ anonymous
“We’ll see you in the finals”

I have no real talent and will never be a star. However since I am so small and have boyish good looks I fooled america for a few months.

I like both of them.

Kris has improved tremendously over the season. He is musical in the best sense.

Adam has a voice that comes around rarely. He is more fun to watch than anyone they have ever had on the show.

They both seem to be smarter than most of their fans.

the arrangement of the 3rd song was way beyond kris range.but even randy j thought that kris voice fits the song better than that of adam.

GO KRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

There’s no accounting for some of you people, if you like Kris fine, that’s cool, but to say Adam can’t sing and nobody would buy his tunes, U R NUTS! He’s already sold a gazillion downloads on itunes and if you listen to his studio version when he actually gets to sing the whole dang song, it is very listenable! I should know, I bought ‘em all! Win or lose, Adam is a already as star and not just in America!

People like Kris I can see in every bar but
like Adam is impossible.
Brazilians are crazy with Adam, he is the best
He is THE REAL AI!!!!!

Kris all the way baby!!!

Ananymous
You can’t leave out
“You are a Rock GAAAD!”

People, please get a life.

And to Ade who wrote “Adam is the rock god”, I honestly feel bad for you.

I have an excuse, I’m only 12. Kids get a free pass for being losers. Gimme a break.

No offense but I think Danny has more soul than Kris and Adam put together, just a personal opinion.

Who said in this line of comments that Gene Simmons was a good singer? Hello? Paul Stanley was an okay singer, Gene Simmons…not so much. Fact is, America just doesn’t know a darn thing about singers who sing like Adam. Rob Halford from Judas Priest, James LaBrie from Dream Theater, Geoff Tate from Queensryche…these guys and others have been scream/singing for decades and were never embraced by the masses. What makes you think America is ready for that now??? I think Kris will take it all!!!!

Go Kris!!!

I always get a kick out of Adam and I loved his dry ice-packed “Mad World” that was approved by Hannibal Lecter himself!
“No Boundaries” was so dreadful that I tried to make it sound dirty in my mind. I think there’s a line in that stale pile of cheez wiz that goes something like, “Nothing comes between me and my dreams” and for a moment, I imagined that the winner tonight will be contractually obligated to appear in a Calvin Klein-inspired ad for the next season of Idol in which they utter the same line scantily clad a la Brooke Shields in her not-at-all-legal heyday.
The lyrics about going “higher” and “deeper” only fed my perversion further.

“I have an excuse, I’m only 12. Kids get a free pass for being losers. Gimme a break.”

Was this post suppose to address me or pretend to be me? Either way, I’m not sure I get your point.

address u. sorry 4 the confusion.

I’m 12 and stuck in a hospital with nothing else to do but watch AI and vote.

Everyone who doesn’t think Adam is talented (whether you like him personally or not) has no musical knowledge whatsoever. The man has an incredible range – the same as Pavarotti (and there are only a handful of people in the world EVER that can sing that range). On You Tube, he sings operatic, rock, pop, soulful ballads, and everything else beautifully and impeccably. His studio versions are absolutely beautiful. He PERFORMS on American Idol, which is very exciting to watch (and the only AI ever who will be an international superstar and fill stadiums like no other)… but his musical range and ability is amazing. Not detracting from Kris, but there are many Krises in the world, and very few Adams.

OK then.

First – If you are in the hospital, I’m sorry you’re in the hospital.

Second – Post with your own name, it makes thing less confusing.

Third – being 12 is no excuse for calling an AI contestant a “rock god”.

1. thanks.
2. Done.
3. I never called anyone a rock god. I voted for Kris. Hendrix, Plant, Jagger, Clapton etc. Those are rock gods.

Let me tell you, i want Kris to win.
Cause i like Adam, but i see him more as a performer, in a play or in Broadway. He is AWESOME on stage, but when i think of him as an artist and listening to his songs on the radio, i dont see it!
Kris on the other hand, he IS an artist, he IS a musician, and i SEE him making albums with awesome music and listening to his songs on the radio.
Vote for the true musician people!
GO KRIS!!!

Charlie, I hope you feel better soon, get out of that medical prison pronto, and enjoy the show tonight.
Also, eat plenty of Jell-o.
I’m hoping for an Adam victory, myself, but you’ve got fine taste in music.

well…he did have a long black trench coat on…

Well, Ive been here since David Cook won so I doubt I’m leaving soon. Send me some pizza. Sorry to hear about you and Adam hehehe. It’s all good.

Charlie, sorry I thought you were the poster named Ade responding to my original comments. I hope you feel better.

Adam Lambert won the night hands down. That voice is God given. I can’t stop listening to his beautiful voice on those AI Studio, and performance downloads. He’s got the whole package. Kris is pure country. His constant breaking his voice, just annoys me. He is also pitchy at times. If he wins, it’s because of bigoted Gokey fans. We’re not going to hell because we like Adam Lambert. Okay !! Our children aren’t going to be wearing black nail polish, and all that. Give them some slack, and let them be kids. They’re smarter than you are.

Kris is a Fox. Kris has been a FOX thru the season, SENSITIVE, SMART, AND SEXY. I swooned over him last night. Way to go Kris.

On the other hand, Adam is a WOLF to me, EXCEPT last night. Adam turned into a FROZEN WOLF WITH A SHEEP SKIN COVERED. WTF I want the BORN TO THE WILD Adam. Disappointing!

KRIS IS NOT COUNTRY…..think Dave Matthews….

Charlie, I’m sorry David Cook’s win landed you in the hospital.
A terrible joke, I know, but your sense of humor seems well in-tact, I’m glad to see, so I thought I’d go for it. Thanks for your pre-condolences concerning my Glambert hope. I’m rooting for Kris now.
Maybe his win will get you out that place. A year is too long. Way too long. Hang in there.

i like both of them, but i voted for kris because he puts more passion into his music. Plus, adam looks like a girl that walked out of Hot Topic.

Shannon,
Well I can’t wait for tonight. Maybe they will have a tie? I asked for Carrie U. to come see me through make-a-wish this year so cross your fingers!

Kris sucks. Adam is clearly a better singer with more range, he preforms better, actually has star quality and wont be forgotten about in two to three weeks like Kris. Oh, and Kris has the worst mustache, my gf and I refer to as a dirty sanchez.

I think without question, Adam has the superior voice. Kris is a nice boy, but frankly, I can see the likes of him at hotel bars. He’s good but nothing special. Adam is one of a kind. He is brillant, creative and that voice!!! It’s amazing and a true gift for all of us to enjoy. I personally don’t want the same thing again, and that’s what Kris represents. He’s comfortable for those socially conservative people who never take chances. Adam is explosive in every sense of the world, and he happily brings excitment and joy to many people worldwide. Like Siman said last night, he is a true international superstar regardless of what happens tonight. His real fan base is huge and diversified. Go Adam!! You are a true honest hero, and I respect the hell out of you.

So, what’s wrong with a dirty sanchez??

Kris is great in what he does.

Adam is great in what he does.

Two radically different contestants.

Flashy bombast vs understated elegance.

I’ll say it again… It’s honestly like choosing between Freddie Mercury, and James Taylor.

They are both good singers in their own ways.

I’d probably have more fun watching Adam Lambert at a live concert, as he’s a great showman.

But I think Kris Allen will make a much better record.

So, there is no right or wrong answer to the Adam vs Kris question. I’m glad for the two of them.

(And extra glad that Gokey didn’t make it to the finale. I cannot stand him.)

I am a GIGANTIC Adam fan. If he doesn’t win I will never watch American Idol again and will cry like a little baby in my room. He has WAY more soul, range, and character than Kris. Adam isn’t screaming, he’s using octive 9. If he doesn’t win I don’t know what this world is coming to. So many people are just judging him because he is gay. People need to learn how to express themselves in this horrid world. Adam does just that, he would be a wonderful artist. I would obviously buy his CD’s and blast them through my neighborhood. Adam deserves to win more than Kris because Kris even said himself that he doesn’t deserve to be there. He’s trying to win the competition with fake modesty. I am falling in with Adam Lambert and I want everyone to know that!

Like both Kris and Adam…but seriously would any fan of either of them wish that atrocity Kara and Co. unearthed on the guy he/she’s rooting for? Kris positively looked like a sacrificial lamb. Maybe Adam could bring some camp to the song and then shrug it off.

Nadine…please get a grip.

Nadine…please get a grip.

Nadine…please get a grip.

Ill be watching tonight im really nervose about Adam.I love Adam i hope he wins but i think Kris will win he is a all american boy Adam is to edgy.Ii thought Kris and Adam both sang well last night its close.Adam is the only reason why i watched AL he is passon sexy and can really sing his socks off!
So good luck to Adam i love you all the way from toronto:)

Yeah, a tie would be cool, Charlie.
Sorry for the schmaltz in my last post, by the way. It’s just that “No Boundaries” is bad enough outside of a hospital. And no matter who wins, we’re still gonna have to hear it again. But, it’s all good, as you said. So, here’s to a tie and the hope that you’ll meet Carrie U or just a medicinal U-Haul to get you out of there.
Just know that there are worse things than living vicariously through American Idol. You could be living vicariously through Dancing With the Stars or America’s Got Talent. See? You’re not doing too bad. Rock on.

Shannon,
Britain’s Got Talent is so much better!! Carrie’s in for a big surprise because when she’s here I’m going to pretend to tell her a secret and then give her a huge kiss right on the lips!! Gotta go for it, y’know!

I know Kara is a better songwriter than that “No Boundaries” fiasco, what up? It sounded like they threw it together in like 5 minutes.

That douche covered one of the greatest (and heaviest) songs ever in “A Change is Gonna Come” on the cheesiest show ever created and RS praises his performance. LMAO….this magazine has gone straight to shit. I’m glad I can find Taibbi elsewhere these days.

Some of my favorite singers are gay. (Michael Stipe. Elton John), so sexuality does not affect my vote.

I just find Kris Allen’s music far more pleasant and expressive.

Adam Lambert is an ACTOR. And I find his high register wailing, too much.

Kris all the way. Authentic and original AND interesting to listen to. Adam flat out bores me. You can go see “Adam wannabee’s” at night clubs in any city, any ole day.

You cannot find a musician like Kris any ole day. Worthy of winning. Worthy of recording CD’s that people will listen to over and over and over.

Kris wins. With class.

There is only one Adam.. but thousands of Kris-like singers.
Adam will be a MEGA-star all over the world. The less you like Adam there in USA, the faster we will get him here in Europe to sing and PERFORM for us. WE WILL LOVE THE WHOLE PACKAGE CALLED ADAM.
Good luck to Kris too, he is very cute.

Clearly my boyish charm AND angelic voice got me to the finals… If I wasn’t the best, then why would America choose me?

1. ADAM LAMBERT
~ He is the best contestant they ever had on the show. He took the U.S. by storm and now he is going to take on the world. I belive that he will be the biggest thing since Elvis or the Beatles. I cant wait for his music to come out! I also hope he starts a clothing line and his own guyliner and black nail polish to sell in stores. I dont care what his sexuality is. He is going to be a legend. I LOVE ADAM!!!

I think Adam will win cuz he should win cuz he ovisly the best. If u dont think so then theres something really wrong. Kris is boring and i fall asleep everytime i hear him. i think he will benefit most from this but i doubt anyone will buy his albums. same with danny. I have no idea how kris even got there. As much as i want Adam to win, i kinda dont want him too cuz then he has to sing that song they performed last night ( i didnt really like it but adam made it good). Plus he wont be able to be him. But who ever wins there will always be one true statement: ADAM IS WAY BETTER THEN KRIS!!!!

Really, if Simon would join the band, w/ Adam on skins and Kris on xylophone, they’d have it

I believe Kris knows Jesus! I hope Adam does too.

Kris will have a great life and career no matter if he wins or loses. He is already a winner! Go Kris!

If Adam doesn’t win, it will be the biggest dud in television history.

stfu JoAnne, dont bring religion into this!

Atom is good, but Kris is slightly ahead in the votes.

Sorry, Atom fans, but is second place really so bad?

In terms of overall musicality Kris definitely has the edge, he phrases better, he knows how to arrange a song correctly, hence the reason why he plays many instruments. Adam definitely has the edge in the voice, he can hit those high octave notes, but thats really all he brings to the table. Sure the light effects that the producers give him and the way he frolics around stage is entertaining, but what about a recording?

Kris is the choice, he’s humble, has his Uncle and pastor Trey Noran and seems to be a get hubby. I would like to see a picture of him and his Uncle I read so much on here and goggle. Where is his Uncle???

do Idol fans ever get laid? I somehow doubt it..

What’s this “cultural significance” crap? Adam hasn’t commented one way or the other that he’s gay, probably for fear of losing votes. In our post-Prop 8 age, is a “wink-wink commentary” really supposed to count as progress? Not to mention the kid screeches every song like Mario Cantone passing a Ruben Studdard-sized kidney stone.

boy I hope Adam wins..hello frisco!!!

Everybody change their tune? Adam was it last week. Now Kris can “arrange” a song, etc. Fickle public

I don’t see how Kris is even close to Adam.

Adam is a Superstar.

Kris is boring. He sings no better than a lounge singer. There is nothing original about him. His facial contortions are hard to watch. Boring.

Adam has an amazing voice, amazing range, he feels his songs, he can bring tears to your eyes with his emotion, he’s good-looking, sexy, he can dance, Adam is the whole package.

He may be hoping he doesn’t win so he can become a major player instantly without strings tied to AI.
I can’t wait to see him again and again.

If Kris actually pulls this off then I believe it’s true that his fans are cheating the system.

It’s pretty odd that he was near the bottom week after week, and then the last couple of weeks he’s near the top???

Something is definitely fishy if he wins.

Win or lose – Adam is the Superstar.

.

I think that the competition is way too close. From the beginning, Kris and Adam have been my 2 favorites, and it’s very hard to pick between them. On that note, I believe that Adam should win this competition because he has star quality. Honestly, I could never picture Kris doing a concert, or being in a celeb magazine. I also think that Kris is pitchy at times, while Adam rarely misses a note. Because of this, I voted for Adam.

Sexuality aside, He’s also WAY hot.

For all of you who say “Adam screams one fucking note and they love it,” you need to listen closer. He obviously doesn’t, otherwise he wouldn’t be on the show. His notes are in key; his range is just unbelievable so some of the higher ones sound pitchy. If you still have something to say, first try screaming in key.

I have no problem with Kris, at all. He’s gonna go far when this is over, as is Adam. And I think it’s extremely close. But if Adam loses because viewers think he just screeched and yelled his way through the competition, open your ears. He’s amazing.

May the best man win.

just to follow up on my last post. I’ll be sitting in my moo moo tonight salivating over a guy that would be more interested in my brother..stuffing my yap full of bon bons..can’t wait!!

ADAM LAMBERT IS THE BEST AND THATS A FACT . THAT PERSON WHO SAID HE COULD SING OPERA BROADWAY WHATEVER IS RIGHT . BY THE WAY SINGING IS NOT SCREAMING . HE IS A JOY TO HAR AND WATCH . ELAINE

ADAM IS A STAR .

Personally Adam Lambert has every quality and more of an artist. He can sing any song and make it sound good. Kris on the other had to me is very pitchy and always picks songs where he doesn’t have to take risks with his voice because he obviously cannot handle it. I love Adam, he is awesome.

This is a SINGING CONTEST and Adam has been dominating the competition since day one!!! And for the record, he is not screeching, but actually hitting high notes that Kris can only dream of hitting. Based on the performances last night and throughout the season, Adam should win the competition and become the next Idol! His voice and range are amazing, he is an awesome performer, and has the “it” factor, which means he is going to be a HUGE STAR! I think Kris is a nice guy, but he can’t hold a candle to Adam. And did anyone hear how Kris messed up the lyrics on the “No Boundaries” song? Adam for the win!!!

Adam will be forgotten in 6 months..

adam was the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!:]

When you put a seasoned Professional against regular people this is the outcome. Even though Kris was not my favorite I have to admire him for coming out of nowhere and almost taking down the shows favorite, who was already a professional actor, singer and stage performer.

Do you know why the show was this close?

Everyone was sick and tired of all the favoritism given to Adam. I gave all my votes to the UNDERDOG.

I understand the religious right sent out a mass email urging folks to vote for Kris.

im a dreaming or did kris allen REALLY win american idol ? i CANT BELIEVE IT ! adam lambert is soo much better .. this show is a bunch of crap and im never watching it again ! Adam as been consitant week after week .. getting standing ovatation from all the judges ( even Simon ) , getting awsome critics every song his songs ! and you have this amuture stupide young 23 years old no good for nothing winning this show ! american idol NEVER AGAIN

KRIS ALLEN JUST WON AMERICAN IDOL!!!1st to announce..haha..

Well, they just elected another loser that no one will remember by next year. What is wrong with these people? This is a singing competition. Kris is a nobody, with no memorable voice at all, plus he makes really weird faces when he sings. Yuck.
Adam, you rock. You will be a star. I despise the AI voting audience. They can’t recognize great when it slaps them in the face.

Go Kris Allen !!
XD

Homophobic America apparently chose their American Idol tonight. Southern Bible toters and teen girls in the church choir made their votes count.

Ah, well, there’s is always next year!

Finally America you fullfilled our expactions. Congratulations to another boring,karaoke Barsinger. Adam Lambert belongs to the world anyway. You don’t deserve such a talent. So take Kris and the rest of the world takes Adam.

this crap kris allen only won because girls like him and they probally think when kris loses his wife he will go out with them.but ADAM ROCKS AND KRIS CAN SUCK IT.

Brandon grow up. Adam’s shrieking is so obnoxious, no wonder he didn’t win. And your comments on Kris are very immature.

Some things never change…This show is STILL garbage.

Come on Gene, what makes you think that everyone in America knows or thinks that Adam is gay? What’s wrong with wanting someone who’s clean cut without all the get up, glitz, and hype? Adam’s image is already to big for even him to handle, and it doesn’t portray what I think AI is all about which is raw uncut talent that is humble and sincere like Kris.

I think that Kris was great.

Adam is definetely more talented. From day one he has had the best reviews and he can sing anything! On AI the best doesn’t always win! I have watched the season since the beginning, and some of the 2nd and 3rd place definitely outweigh the AI. Just like I heard on Great Day! Kris and Adam are like David and Goliath.

I cant understand and probably never will understand how Kris won A.I. Im not putting him down but this was a talent contest and anyone ,and I mean anyone who is honest knows that Adam is so much better it would be like a high school football team taking on the super bowl champions. I have lost a lot of faith in people through this, I hope they will be forgiven for their dishonesty.

Wow I cant believe Adam didnt win, homophobic America what a shame. Well Im looking forward to Adams First Album, I watched AI because of Adam hes a true show man, this was a talent show not a all american boy show, Adam never let us down but Im afraid Chris did, sure hes a nice guy but this was a talent show!!!!!I could see Simon was shocked, as I was. He`s the best Talent they have ever had on the show a one of a kind find, and I know we will see lots more of him, please Adam If you are reading this don`t take to heart that you didn`t win, America was wrong, I will and many other people are looking forward to your first Album and concerts!!!!!Many of us out there love you for the great talent you are!!!!!!GO ADAM!!!!!!!

Adam did deserve to win but he lost because someone has figured out a way to change the vote. I called in to vote for Adam and got a confirmation message for voting for Kris, I kept checking the number and it was Adam’s not Kris. This happened to me several times and must have happened to others also. I think Kris is a good singer but Adam is clearly in a different league! I can’t wait to buy his CD!

Why dont they call the show TWEEN BIBLE BELT RETARD RED STATES IDOL…because thats who wins every time…Never a CAT or ADAM from the dreaded CALIFORNIA…who sang circles around TAYLOR HICKS and KRIS ALLEN. The JUDGES should get 50 percent vote and have the final three make the final night. The phone banks should only allow 1 call from each phone. I thought the show JUmped the SHARK and ADAM brought it back. I think the show Melted the Polar ICe caps and I see major backlash. Also ADAM will go on to a 70 million dollar record deal while KRiS sings the horrific “no boundries” song and fades like the rest of the lamo fake Kenny Loggins side mouth out of tune jagoffs with peach fuzz lip and no image.

Honestly, Adam should have won, Adam was both unique and talented.
Kris was good but Adam still deserved to win.
This proves that AI is more about votes than talent, even the judges were in awe as Kris was announced the winner

wow i think this was such an upset……lets be real with ourselves just for a quick second please……adam should have won…..hands down….i didnt watch american idol this season but i wanted to know who won…but i can care less…..but i think it was PREJUDICE that played a huge role in this….i have to be involved…..or speak about……..and yeah adam should have won just because of the versitaly….voice range….and star quality…….american idol should be about talent……not about how many votes you get……..kris was in utter shock…he couldnt believe it himself that he won over someone who had more talent then him……….yes kris is a great singer…… but lets be honest and put sexuality or christianity aside….adam have talent…..he gave you a variety of voice ranges………he gave you star quality……he gave you american idol……..i bet you if you put kris on mtv ….i will fall asleep…no disrespect but its the truth……as you can see…..not all americans have equal rights

Sorry Kris…..you have a long way to go…and…..Adam that young and talented artist should have the title “THE AMERICAN IDOL of 2009″…Soryy folks….I judge by talent and not who they are or what they are….and I still say..I wish than we would have more talented artist like ADAM!

Oh c’mon. This is so typical American Idol. People saying that “Oh, David Archuleta didn’t win. I’m never going to watch American Idol again, ever.” That’s just plain talkshit. What a way to blackmail. If you’re disappointed Adam didn’t win, then be disappointed to yourselves because you didn’t vote enough to make him win. It’s your fault. And I bet if Adam won, Kris’ fans will also be saying “What an upset, Kris should have won.” That’s just typical AI. Someone wins, someone loses. But BOTH will have great careers ahead. So just pleas get over it and move on. It’s done.

OMG!! Really?? You think?? This show BLOWS.Always has, always will.It’s totally scripted junk. You morons might as well be reacting to every little event that occurs on “Days Of Our Lives”.

Hey Anne

I agree when you say that someone has to lose and someone has to win, BUT this time is diferent since ADAM is the best that AI ever have. I´m not a huge fan of the show and have not a particular favorite kind of music but Adam is one the best male singer I´ve ever seen. I did not miss any show of 8 season because of him just to watch a quality performance, impecable original voice. If I had money I would invested on him.!

RVRGRL – You were dialing wrong. I have watched and voted all 8 seasons. The voting is correct. You whiners are just trying to make excuses. Good Grief, Get on with your lives and get over it. He will do well.

Almost everyones comments are so immature. I mean come on people its done and over you can’t change the results, get over it. If you don’t like the show don’t watch it who cares. Adam lost because in the eyes of America he is not as good! They both have killer talent. Kris won because he is amazing and talented and he has god on his side. With god all things are possible. Some of ya people on hear need ya some Jesus!

umm..newsflash, votes don’t mean anything as to who is better at singing, American Idol is famous for better singers and performers not winning in the end

Cowell says the best singer didn’t win. Siad Kris was like a “puppy”. Said the combined Gokey Kris vote won the day. All the big music guns are backing Adam all the way. From Fergie to Slash to Santana to Kiss (read what Gene Simmons says) to Queen (who’ve made him an offer). I like Kris and wish him well, but this contest was won on popularity with a political – moral right/Christian – agenda. Not won on talent. I’m not worried about Adam. In fact, I really feel for Kris because he will always be remembered as the Idol who shouldn’t have won. Adam has cast a huge shadow on the show. He out-idolled idol. In a league of his own. Am so glad he is supportive of his friend, Kris. That’s typical of Adam. He is all class. But I do feel shortchanged as a voter on a talent show where talent doesn’t actually count. Won’t bother with it anymore. I’m not interested in trivia shows. Go Adam, and go Kris. Adam, you are superb!!!!

Adam has talent yes, but by the end of the season, all he did was SCREAM in every song. I started fast forwarding through his performances so I didn’t have to hear it…he would start out awesome and then RUIN a song with the screaming…that’s why he lost. And the judges did him a disservice by never telling him to lay off. If they would have, he would’ve won.

With guitarists, some like packaged players with lightning speed and killer chops, others go for the those with more nuanced phrasing and soulful expression. It’s a matter of personal taste, not prejudice. Same applys to vocalists. Best of success to both these talented guys.

OK, here’s the problem with the majority of people, you don’t think outside of the box! Yes Adam was by far the best singer vocally and I understand why he pratically crapped his pants when they didn’t call his name. It also makes sense that Kris was shocked out of his mind…it’s because he lacks self confidence. But he did deserved to win! Kris could sing any song and not even change it up much, and it still would be his own because his voice is unique & refreshing. I bet he could eventually write his own music too ,unlike most Idols. If Kris finds a good agent in the future he IS going somewhere. Yes he’s extremely cute but that’s a sorry excuse not to like him. BTW, I’m 28 so the teeny bop excuse won’t work here. Kris is way too modest and is a quite talent. I have never seen anyone improve as much as he did. Every single episode he outdid himself. His talent took way too long to be noticed. He definitely has potential to go beyond American Idol, you just have to trust him. As for Adam, he has a flawless voice. I have never heard anyone hit the notes he has without a single struggle. His shortcoming was that he has qualities of a 80’s rock star. Not as many people can relate to his music. But he is talented as all heck. He twisted every song to make it his own awesome version. I’m afraid he’s going to dissapear. Someone better market him because he is an AMAZING singer. They don’t come around much these days!!Best season EVER! It may be impossible for any other season to even come close to the talent this season. I hope I’m wrong. For you who are butt hurt, it doesn’t make American Idol a bad show! It’s actually a great show that finds great talent. Also, brings families together every week to enjoy watching talent being discovered.

adam screams and screams and
screeches hi way through with moves
and lighting and screaming wows people to like him, it doesnt make him american idol singer or winner..performer perhaps, vocally well done kirs you win.

What if……..maybe Adam will be asked to fill the late Eddie Mercury’s spot and take the stage for QUEEN? Could you imagine…..that would be so much more a win then the idol title.

to all american idol fans try to listen to all the songs kris and adam sang during the competition then you would realized why kris won, i like adam but his music makes me feel irritated because it always last in screaming. one song is enough then he should sang the rest with variety.

to all american idol fans, try to listen to kris and adam songs during the competition, then you will know why kris won. I like adam very much, but he sing with one style screaming at the end. no variety,

I’m not homophobic, I do believe Adam is more dynamic and has a stronger voice. But I don’t have a problem with Kris winning, I would more likely listen to something he puts out. Adam has the better voice, but I cringe when he gets to that high note in every song. I just liked Kris’s sound a little more… but I guess that’s all it takes to be labeled a red state, hillbilly, homophobe… such a shame.

Get over it folks and move on! Right or wrong, Adam lost, Kris won and if and when either of them come out with CDs, everyone can buy or download the songs whichever artist they want. Enough said.

dudes… i have been watching idol since day one. i thought after blake lewis i would not watch thinking nothing could top the originality of his performances(standing ‘o’ from randy for “most original version of a song ever on american idol” shot thru the heart.) then david cook came along. oh my god. last year was the best season ever, and probably always will be. i’ve seen both artists live so suck it. this year’s new format sucked a big one which is why the ratings were down. (most watched show in the world) david cook is on the 2009 world almanac’s cover next to oboma so suck it. think about it. all of you who criticize adam lambert can suck it cuz he did exactly what the judges want EVERY effing week. those that judge someone’s sexual preference can suck it cuz, duh, it is not about that- dumb f**cks.

oh yeah. i hope people noticed that simon was the only judge not standing at the winner’s announcement. he obviously correctly thought that the wrong person won. last year his reaction was clear that he was satisfied with the winner because Cook DESERVED the crown. simon is usually right. “sorry!”

The judges may say that the contest is about the “best singer”, but the voters appear to vote for the person that they think is an American Idol…the one that they can see going from everyday guy or girl to a transformation to star. So those of you who thought that Adam should have won because of his range or image being complete, this may explain the problem that he encountered. Kris was like finding a regular guy with a lot of talent and what seems to be a humble and great attitude. Adam seemed like a production package instead of a real person.

ADAM is obviously the best singer between the two & the best in the whole 8 seasons. No doubt about it. But sometimes people try to avoid recognizing it because of hatred. He’s been liked by the judges, and lots of celebrities because of he’s amazing talent. People complained that its favoritism. Not realizing that he is a favorite because of his unique talent, vocal range that not everybody possess.

Ok i am a fan of adom but really kris did get better but adom was a better singer but look a chris doughtry that is going to be adom etting all that and who is Taylor Hix u know wat im saying

i cant deside i luv both of thm sooooooooooooooooo much cant wait to see how famous both of you become congrats guys luv ur guyses work thx for eveything yall have done!!!!!!!!!!

Should ADAM have won? YES!! Was KRIS as deserving? POSSIBLY!! Will I watch IDOL next season? Only for a laugh or two & ONLY because they gave ADAM a PLATFORM for his TALENT!! BUT…….I DO NOT EVER INTEND TO VOTE FOR ANYONE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
