first off if everyone new there was no afterlife, no one would give a shit what they did here. what would be the consequences for murdering someone, or stealing something? even if you dont get caught there are consequences with god. and if youre saying god is the reason people kill, etc. thats b.s. (im talking about catholics, not muslims.) and all these gays should shut the f up cus no one cares about you. like seriously gay people make up like half the population of california, you have been pushing to get gay marraige for years, and you finally get the chance to vote for it and you lose. fail. so do yourselves a favor and get the hell out of here cus nobody cares about you. not even your own state. kris was better. stop crying cus adam lost because he is the first gay person to actually accomplish something in his life. face the facts you will always be the minority. straight people will always be the majority of the population. and i guarentee all the homos in the world texted like

come on, telling kris to sing "no boundaries", the same song adam lambert sings would be like giving adam a guitar and telling him to go out there and play and sing "heartless" just like kris did. adam got boring after awhile with the same type of song over and over. every week kris brought something new. he was a better artist. he could sing straight up or play piano or guitar. i can name one song adam did the whole season that was "Mad World". With Kris i can still remember "She Works Hard for the Money", "Falling Slowly", "Apologize", "Heartless", "Aint no Sunshine". And just because Kris cant sing like Adam doesnt mean he doesnt have the same amount of talent. hes a true artist. Jamie Foxx said it himself.

I think it's sad that you assume people voted for Kris for those silly reasons. Kris was AMAZING. I heard both them sing, back to back, on the radio earlier today. Adam is amazing, no doubt. But Kris is so talented .. stop bashing because the person you wanted to win didn't. It's life, get over it..
Good luck to both men, they're both amazing and I hope they both go far in their careers.

Doesn't religion preach tolerance. Jeez what is wrong with you people. Listen up folks, God was invented by pagans loooong ago when there was no explanation for the phases of the moon and sunrise/sunset, etc. Unless your goal is to live in the past, by now you should have figured out that we are nothing but biological beings with an evolved brain. And when it's over, it's over, death, nothing. Sorry to disappoint, but if folks spent more time focusing on how to make things better here on earth while they're alive instead of setting themselves up for success in the "afterlife", the world would be a better place (less war, no terrorism). Stop trying to impose your beliefs and will on others. So Adam is gay and wears makeup, who gives a shi*. Just like I don't care that Kris is a Christian. The criteria was singing talent and under that lens, you are lying if you think Kris was better than Adam. But good luck to both for a successful career. Seacrest out...whatever the F that m

Both are very talented people. But I think Adam is more talented in more ways because if his theater experience. They will both get the perks of being there till the end. Adam even more so because of his experience. I think he will become a bigger star than kris even at the end. Do you think maybe adam new that he would win and stepped down from receiving the title? after all he will receive all the same perks anyway. The only difference is a trophy and a title.
What do you think.......

I love it when all the little GAY & LESBIAN fans of Adam's post here & bash the Christian & straight people... Just shows what they're really made of, huh? The reason Kris won is plain & simple..
GOD HATES GAYS... Period
Next. Move on cry Babies. Back into the damn closet.

Kris Allen is an authentic humble musician and won through his talent and resiliance. He completely deserves the title, the styles are totally different and his appeal is widespread across age and diversities. His amazing progress throughout this competition was a testimony to his dedication and inner strength and TALENT. Kris Allen won over incredible media hype that recognised performance artists over recording artists, and gave an unfair advantage in judging critique throughout the season. Kris deserved to win, and Adam could equally have brought it home on his own merits - but he is not the Rock God or Second Elvis, but a theatrical performer. And that, in the end, lost him his title - it was down to a question of music over hype. Both will have excellent careers - so please stop with this nonsense and recognise who actually won the votes - KRIS ALLEN. He rocks it out, man.

Kris won because people are scared of what's different! They like the safe, no surprise, boring choice.....that's why they all voted for Kris. They know what to expect from him, the same thing over and over and over. They don't want their feathers ruffled. Don't get me wrong, Kris is a GREAT singer, but in no way the same caliber as Adam. Adam gets peoples attention and will continue to for a long time to come! You can't tell me every Tuesday night you weren't anticipating what Adam would do.....he's a pure entertainer through and through!

May 21st, 2009 2:01 PM
By far Adam is more talented and should have won the title, but now Adam will have the choice of picking and choosing a record label. He should have them lining up and Kris will be stuck with AI telling him what to do.

Gail,
I think screeching was his signature move because it makes your hair stand on end and make you feel like "WHOA, that dude can blow". I was amazed at first and then got tired of it.
Troy
May 21st, 2009 12:21 PM
Hmm,
According to everything that ive heard, if it was based on looks, Kris would have taken the cake.
Gail
May 21st, 2009 12:21 PM
I loved Adam from day one, knew he was going to win. I was getting sick of him getting all the glory tho especially from Simon and Chris couldn't do anything right. When Adam sang it's a mad world i knew he had it won, then he started screeching every song and my heart belonged to Chris who sang his songs.
Hmm
May 21st, 2009 12:13 PM
I don't understand, if it was based on looks.. Adam is incredibly handsome. so what's the problem?
Alex
May 21st, 2009 12:10 PM
honestly, Adam has a great voice. He's got a very dramatic range and quality of voice. And i like that, but only that! But what bothers me is why i don't feel anything when he performs. I don't get excited. Never at all. But i realized the reason why. He's got this very overbearing confidence that distracts me everytime he performs. It distracts me from totally admiring his whole package. I mean, Queen, Kiss, Steven Tyler or Michael Jackson, they're super great talents and performers, but they are never a show off when they're onstage! It bugs me everytime when Adam overdo the high notes! It's just not nice to hear. It's just like he's showing off, can you do that! But Kris, is so cool, so fresh, so current/mainstream, so pop, so adorable, so humble he's got the guitar and piano skills! I like the way he looks, so fresh and young!

Another thing is that Adam has been getting so much attention from everywhere and Kris was always left backstage, yet Kris remained humble and was suprised that he won. If Adam would have won, would people still be bashing Kris? I doubt it, i think they will say "Kris is a great singer but Adam deserved the win". I felt that Kris connected more with America much more that Adams glass shattering screams. Adam is a better performer but Kris has more talent. Thus Kris deserved the spot light.

Well the suprise was spoiled for me, im deployed and we see AI a day late then America does. I was informed by a co-worker "who didn't mean to find out" that Kris won and I was so happy because i supported him. Both Adam and Kris are very talented and both deserved to be in the top 2. Adam is an awesome singer but as far as talent goes, Kris has him beat. Adam is only a singer, Kris is a singer and plays the Piano and Guitar. Kris really deserved it because he worked so hard and stayed humble the whole way through. I didn't even know Kris was a Christian and if i did, that wouldn't be the reason why i supported him, i like his style. America chose right.
Oh yeah, all this Kris bashing needs to end, its just childish. Kris did nothing to anyone but only tryed to win Americas heart.

I'm just curious...I've read where some people are against anything mainstream, so I gotta ask...
If you're a non-conformist AND an Adam fan...shouldn't you be happy the majority voted the other way?
Beckie
May 21st, 2009 10:33 AM
Wow.....that is so very sad. Adam is amazing and who cares what his lifestyle is, I sure don't. Kris won because "He is just sooooo dang cute and a good ole christian boy!" and the little 12 year olds that sat up and voted all night long don't base their vote on talent, they voted on who would make the better boy band member. Kris got all of Gokey's votes as well because heaven forbid we get an american idol that is a non christian, wacky hair,crazy clothes wearing, eyeliner gay guy! Oh no.....The world would be coming to and end.....Please! Adam will be the bigger star, no question.
Lala
May 21st, 2009 10:31 AM
wtf Neil you're an idiot. What does Adam's lifestyle have do with his TALENT? So what if he's gay. . .wtf and you actually went door to door so all your neighbors will vote for "Kris" (his name is Kris. . .NOT Chris dumb ass). . .what an idiot. Went all out of your way to do something like that just because you don't like Adam's "lifestyle" wtf
Denee
May 21st, 2009 10:19 AM
Like any type of art,i.e. music, painting or writing, everyone has their own likes and motivations. I voted for the person who allowed me the most emotional response and that was Matt originally and after he left it was Kris. I have nothing against Adam...he reminds me of the big hair band singers from the 80's when I was a tween. I found him entertaining, but, for me, there was no emotional response. His performances just felt more staged to me and more like a theatrical performance. For some people the theatrical quality is what they need to feel that emotional response. Unfortunately(or perhaps fortunately)for Adam, the majority made the emotional connection via the subtler artist. But...I have to admit...if Adam ever does Broadway I am catching the first train into the city:)

Adam rocks, and he was TOTALLY jipped! I've read a lot of you sayin he lost because he is gay and wear makeup! Who the hell cares! It's a "singing" contest! It shouldn't matter if you are gay or straight, wholesome Christian or not! It's "supposed" to be about talent! Adam should have won, but all them biggots out there had to jump on the bandwagon to keep him from winning! It's sick that you people are so judgemental! If he werent' gay n wore makeup, you would all be singing his praises and he would of won, but no, you all have to judge him harshly! You people make me sick! I can't wait to watch Adam prosper on the charts while Kris falters and disappears in the shadows! America screwed up big time!
