Participating vendors such as ATT should never have been allowed to intercede in any part of the vote. Adam was by far the best vocalist and entertainer and will most probably become the Super Star as Simon stated if his career is properly managed

I was so tired of the Adam screaming his songs by the end of the season, that I did not want him to win. I liked Danny and Kris, and once Danny was voted off, the only one left for me to vote for was Kris. Also from everyone that I talked to about this wanted either Danny or Kris to win. Adam was too made up, and not real. It seemed to me that American Idol was just another acting job for him. The real Adam never seemed to come out. I did like his occasional "not screaming" songs, but they were few and far between.

Adam Lambert is clearly the natural born entertainer and Chris was mediocre at best. The show was rigged and adam was robbed of the title. Shame on you AT&T. You need your ass kickedfor pulling that crap.

I believe there was some sort of vote fraud out there. It is evident that Adam is unbeatable in season 8. He really has the talent. Just have a look at how he rearranged all the songs in the show.
Kris is good but not good enough to be top 1. My opinion, even Danny & Allison are better than him. He is very lucky to be crowned as the winner - socalled winner.
Anyway, the game just starts from here. Let's see who will become a real star in future and who will sell more records. Bet it won't be the cute (what a funny description everyone uses) Kris because cute doesn't mean anything. It's the power and skill that make a difference.

Stay on the BIG picture people. Kris received the votes from Danny Gokey the previous week and therefore won. Both Kris and Danny are heavily influenced by Christian music and supported by their populous. Adam, may or may not be so influenced. It may not be as obvious because in the forefront "he knows who he is" (being gay, which it seems Christians have a problem with). Unfortunately, events like this will continue (ie PROP 8) until people become more accepting of EVERYONE. Sad, but true.

Ok you know what I've tried to be nice and all but I'm starting to see the bottom line!!!! You Adam fans are just ticked off because you did not do enough for adam to win!! Apparently you did not vote enough!!! Bottom line!! Why is it that in all the 8 years AI has been on the air this is the first time anyone if throwing a freakin fit? What about the lady that was kicked off because of nude photos? Did she go all freakin crazy over it? No she moved on!! I have not heard one thing that said ADAM is all upset about Kris winning!! If he is cool with it and can GET OVER IT SO CAN YOU PEOPLE!! Good Lord suck it up and just realize ADam did not have the following Kris did!! Adam is an awesome person!! But Kris just appealed to the majority of the USA!!!! GET THE HECK OVER IT!!!!! AT&T WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE IF FOUND THEY DID WRONG!!! I HOPE THEY DO IF THEY SOMETHING WRONG!!!

I will never ever get an A T & T phone now. By the way Kris may have been or is a good singer but Adam Lambert was and is by far the best.

No. We wont get over it and we wont keep quiet. They messed with the singer with the most loyal fans and now people are wondering why we just can't let it go? Because we love Adam. Because vote fraud is wrong. Why should we let it go? Because Kris Allen is kind of cute and wouldn't it just tarnish his title? That win is tarnished by AT&T now and covering up wont help anything.

Ok look I think it is horrible that people would even consider that Adam lost because he's gay!!! Hello, good for him as long as he is true to himself!!! Also why is that when someone loses something people can't put their big girl or big boy panties on and deal with it!!!! There is always going to be reasons someone can think up to say it is a conspiracy!! I love Adam as much as I loved Kris and was very excited that it was those two in the top two!!! They were my two favorites!! Adam is going to do fine!!! I was at a voting party, and yes AT&T showed people had to do that. But had the AT&T people had done that for Adam also there would be not problem right?!?!?!?!? THis world is so jacked up that people just can't sit back and think "YOU KNOW YEAH KRIS WON, BUT YOU KNOW I AM STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND GET AN ADAM LAMBERT RECORD AND ROCK THE (MESS) OUT OF IT!!!" I voted for Kris 100% and I sent texts 5 at a time!! Am I going to get sued? Are you going to c

How in the world did ANYONE beat Adam??? I am a 57 year old female and I can tell the difference between the two voices. NO competition. Adam was truely amazing. AT&T needs to be investigated over this incident. No matter who won. Chris was good but not even in top two.

All I have to say is Build a freakin bridge and get over it!!! Conway Ar. is a somewhat small town that has three colleges!!! One of which Kris Allen attended!! So all his friends from college and their family's and all the town folk of Conway and all the rest of arkansas voted for Kris!! I am from Conway and am really proud that Kris won, but had he not, I would still be proud!!! Either way they are both going to get record deals only Adam will get full freedom to cut any type of album with whatever kind of music he chooses!!! So i think Adam really won out of the two since he will have full freedom with his albums!!! So please just get over it!!! Adam will be a huge star, because he IS talented as well as Kris!!! Noone needs an American Idol title to make it big in the music industry, heck you don't even have to win to get a record deal now a days you just have to be a contestant!!!! Adam didn't lose anything just a stupid title!!!!!!

Personally, being a wife of a rock and roll drummer... Adam kicked major butt. There are lots of people who do not understand rock and roll (so sorry for your loss). But the reality is this... Kris and Adam are still great friends... Adam will go far, look at Daughtry... so no worries... the talk in my world is Queen..... they need a new lead.... never know...
Have a great one... keep the sexual orientation out of it... know one cares..... How many people cared that the lead singer of Queen was gay or not... and how many concerts did they sell out.... really now... it is about the music not who you sleep with.....

Kris deserves it! He is my idol. It's not his fault, Lambert's fans aren't as smart as his!!

Personally I think you're all douche's for watching the show in the first place...but I do enjoy you all fighting over this massive "conspiracy" that took place. Oh no! The winner of American Idol was rigged! Seriously people, you're talking about a reality t.v. show that has four patheticly corporate judges.
One is a big fat black guy, who can't even sing and just has cheesy catch phrases. One is a pill popping ex-singer, who at one point was a very talented woman. One is a british critic who deserves to be punched in the nose, not because of his witty remarks, but because he reminds me of that guy who never got any in high school and found a way to take it out on the world. And the fourth one is some lady...don't know anything about her. All of them are distractions to allow time for Ryan Seacrest to get his jollies off looking at Leprachaun porn.
Regardless, these are your judges and host, so yes it is going to be rigged to who Corporate America thinks would best represent

This is a little ridiculous. I want to bring to your attention on the night of voting that I was trying to call in to vote for Kris and could only get through like one time the whole night. I had a friend that was voting for Adam and she got through 7 times! That goes to show you that his line was not full all the time. It had nothing to do with those text messages. So get over it he lost. If Adam won you guys wouldn't be saying anything!

You people really need to get over the fact that Adam lost!! I mean seriously, Kris deserved to win, so why can't you just let him enjoy it already??? I highly doubt Adam lost because of whether or not he might be gay, there are plenty of popular gay musicians out there, so stop using that as an excuse, because it's a really stupid one. Didn't you ever think that maybe Kris just appeals to a larger audience because he is a clean cut, humble, down to earth person?? I personally voted for Kris, mainly because I'd rather listen to him sing than someone who screams during the whole song. Besides, the show is called "AMERICAN IDOL," which means the winner should be a nice, wholesome, true American person, which is how you can describe both Kris and David Cook!!!!! So, get over yourselves, get over Adam, accept that he lost & stop finding these stupid reasons to say that Kris won unfairly, because it is not true!!!!
