Well I see the bitterness is already out. I think there a lot of people that voted for Kris because they like him as a musical artist. I don't care what on Earth Adam wants to share a bed with. I just never cared for his singing. When I listen to music I want someone who is going move me with his voice and not try and impress me with lighting and a high pitched scream.

I also hope that this stops the judges pimping, or at least Simon's, of the contestants...I mean, it needs to teach them a lesson...all that pimping only HURTS things!

Yep. That's why this had to happen. Otherwise, next season would've been even worse.

I can't believe that Kris got 50+ Million votes. That's astounding.

I'm still shocked.

Sayonara, AI8! You sucked!
I wonder how close it was. DWTS stars had a difference between first and second of 1%.

Still think last season was the best, but Kris, Adam and Allison saved it. In the long run I don't know if either Adam or Kris will be stars in the lines of Carrie, Daughtry and Kelly. But I don't think either will end up the next Ruben or Taylor.

I voted for Kris for one reason only: I really like him. I did not vote for him because I'm a Christian (I am) or from a red state (I am--Texas). Had I liked Adam's style and voice better, I would have voted for him. I don't find Kris bland or dime-a-dozen or mediocre or all the other backlash that's cropping up already. I believe we are permitted to like entertainers who present to us an entire package we like, regardless of whether said performer has the "best" voice: shit, look at some of the entertainers on the stage tonight. Fergie can't sing live at all, KISS didn't get where they were because they sang like angels, Steve Martin . . . um, great comedian but not sure why he was there.

I was wondering if that had been Danny and Adam on the stage at the end if Danny would have even hugged Adam the way Kris did......

Agree. People messed up in season 5 with Chris Daughtry. Give us good performers and we will vote the best ones to the end because they are not going to let that happen again. The judges need to get out of 1992 and realize that music is changing. Every artist doesn't need to hit the top of the scales with the diva glory note to be a good singer.

I think it was a very close contest which shows that for a lackluster season people were that passionate about it. Shows both guys won people over and that is the sign of a good season. I would rather see a close ending like this than a blow out any year.

How can anyone say that Adam lost because he's gay?

He made it to the #2 position. That's further than bible-thumping Hokey Gokey made it.

I mean, sure... people voted against him for that reason. But there were also people who voted for him just because he's gay. I think it evens out. Plus, I think the younger viewers (who do most of the voting) are kind of immune to alot of the homophobia.

I agree...I mean, I know there are homophobes out there who voted against him probably, but saying Adam lost because he's gay is like saying Danny/Alison/Matt/Lil/Anoop/etc etc. all lost because they are straight!

Kris didn't win because he's straight and Adam's not.

Kris won because he's a Southerner. The Southerner ALWAYS wins Idol.

THANK GOD! Adam was overrated. The radio station I listened to would play the performances for the night before and without Adam's over the top "performance" he doesn't sound that great.

Well to be honest I think there are so many things that could count into Kris's winning.

1. He's a good singer! A really good singer...obviously that played a big role! :P

2. American Idol, IMO, seems to be more pop-oriented than rock...alot of the show is kinda just more...Kris-oriented than Adam-oriented...its never been a huge rock show. Its hard to explain, but I'm sure you all know what I mean, or at least I think more people who are into pop and all that watch than more people who are into rock do(Adam DID come VERY far, however).

3. Kris got alot of Danny's fans, plain and simple.

4. I think alot of girls out there(or maybe even guys! :lol:) see Kris, as Kenny put it once, as a "sex symbol". I mean out of the Top 5, he was definitely the most attractive...that alone pulls in alot of votes!

Well, AI lost another viewer ... I'm done.

Kris winning over Adam proves to me that it's not talent that matters, it's who gets chosen as the designated cutie by the fangurl brigade. Without a doubt, AI lost whatever credibility it had left tonite and I bet their ratings next year will reflect it.

When the CDs start coming out, Adam's sales will bury Kris' in the dust, it'll be Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken all over again, with one difference ...

This time the judges were right!

I listen to a weekly podcast that replays clips. I do think Adam loses something without being able to see him. However I also can hear his actual singing more when I am not distracted by the whole "show" he puts on when he performs. He was overrated, but he isn't that bad either. Everything was more inflated to make it better than it really was with him.

Kris is more attractive than Adam to my eye, but I do think Adam is a good-looking man. He's plenty attractive enough.

Well, AI lost another viewer ... I'm done. The fangurls and the Vote for the Worst brigade have officially f'cked up Idol beyond repair, and I'm sure the coming days will prove that the show has lost whatever credibility it had left with a huge number of fans.

When the CDs start coming out, Adam's sales will bury Kris' in the dust, it'll be Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken all over again, with one difference ...

The fangurls and VFTW brigade hadn't already ruined it by joining the Soul Patrol or powering Sanjaya so many weeks into the competition?

I wanted Adam to win because he's unlike any other Idol that's come before and I think Kris is too vanilla, but I don't see him coming out on top of Adam as anywhere near the biggest injustices or mistakes perpretrated by this show over the years so I guess I don't understand quitting the show over this.
