I actually got annoyed reading these blogs. They act like Adam was the be-all, end-all and American Idol did a bad thing by voting for "the Christian" or whatever. I'm like "why are you mad?" People need to calm down. I can see why people call American Idol a cult, folks go nuts when people who should've win don't win and then make up excuses as to why that happened.

I agree with you guys. nod I've been reading some of the Huffington Post blogs and the entertainment blogs, and it's sad how some supposedly educated pundits have turned this into a Prop 8 issue. While I suspect that a very small number of people voted for Kris because they were homophobic, I think the bigger (and more disturbing) reason Kris won was because America has some pretty safe but bland tastes in music. Adam has a vocal style which is very theatrical and can be polarizing to people, just like people who hated the screeching done by Robert Plant during his Led Zeepelin days or Axl Rose, or those who think Mariah Carey's high notes are like cats claws against a blackboard. duh headache err chair I thought that both Danny Gokey and Alison Iraheta deserved to be in the finals more than Kris, but Danny has a very safe, mainstream style as well. Having said that, I think it's better in the long run that Adam didn't win, because he can now put out that great album he wants to create for himself instead of doing the cookie cutter product that AI will force on Kris.

Kris won because
1. hes from the south and the south votes.
2. America loves the underdog.
3. Adam didn't impress the 3rd guy's base.
4. Kris actually plays instruments.
5. Kris improved in the last half of the season.
6. He's cuter.

Now if Adam on the show had been an out pride gay man I could understand the backlash or hate issue, but since his sexuality was muted on the show this excuse holds no validity.



america HATEs gay people; FACT

America doesn't hate gay people. We're just not as liberal as other countries.

Robert plant 68-72 had the GREATEST voice ever

mariah carey sounds horrific sometimes

It's all about how you use your voic on each track. Adam toned it down singing smokey robinson; he's amazing i have to say and i normally hate these shows.

The u.k version is garbage in comparison. The talent here on these is PATHETIC.

Kris didn't deserve it imo. I was kinda shocked. Totally thought Adam was the better singer and entertainer. Even Danny or Allison would have been better. At least those two could really sing, but I guess America spoke and that's who they chose as their winner. It is what it is.

Adam is still my fave one though! I am looking forward to whatever he comes out with. I think he has a lot of potential.

I 100% agree with everything you said

I actually think this is good for Adam, being on American Idol is good enough to get your name out there, i dont know if getting labled as "the American Idol winner" can be a stigma.

I have no doubt whatsover that we will still know who Adam is two years from now, i cant say the same for Chris.
