I find them both attractive. There is just something about Adam for me though, I love his smile! I think Matt is cute too. |

Wow! So that means he only received 12-14 million from the other 49 states. That averages to 285,000 votes for every state other than AK Edited by Rick, May 20 2009, 11:31 PM.

Kris still seems so shocked! He just said that Adam deserved it again in an interview. His reaction when he won was cute! |

Well, I can't disagree more with everyone. LOL. I thought tonight's finale was awful almost from beginning to END. The group performances are always bad, but tonight's seemed way worse than usual. The Tatianna thing was clearly staged, but didn't come off that way...and was just awkward. Seeing Santana and Cyndi Lauper was cool, but the rest of the celeb music performances were awful for me! Not a fan of Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie, or Kiss. And BEP's sounded terrible! And of course, I hate the winner! David Cook was the clear high point of tonight for me - and he was in the first twenty minutes! This is way worse of a final than David's and Jordin's. Edited by King, May 21 2009, 01:25 AM.

I totally agree, but I am not going to give up on the show. This is upsetting. I really think Kris lasted two or three rounds longer than he should have...and to win, God, how did this happen? Haha. BUT! What are ya gonna do? Still like the show. I don't think we have too many seasons left. |

It's pretty exciting that Kris was the underdog and went on to win Idol. And he did it with little judges' support. He was my second favorite, I just wish I didn't have to work Tuesday and could have thrown him a few votes (not that he needed it). As far as the rumors about why people voted for Kris, these rumors are going to be played up to tarnish Kris' win and it's the disgruntled Adam fans that are going to create them. There are probably many reasons why he won. This season's results are going to cause a fan war uglier than the Clay/Ruben wars though. The Lamb Skanks are the new Claymates. Instead of blaming Kris, the Adam fans, along with the Gokey fans need to finally realize, the judges killed any chance those guys had at winning. People were angry over their pre-crowning Gokey and Adam as our final 2. Justice was served tonight and America gave the big F-U to everyone involved. Maybe Adam just wasn't as popular as what we were led to believe? I think most of Adam's popularity was hype and he just didn't have the support that people thought he had. Kris earned his win. He had no judge support, he wasn't part of the pre-crowned final 2, he didn't have mediocre artists like Katy Perry wearing a cape with his name on it. He got their on his own talent and with the help of his fans. Kris will do just fine when his album comes out. And that's my rant for the night. |

Agreed. The pimping backfired in a big way. |

When people keep saying that the judges killed any chance of Adam or Danny winning because the pimping pissed people off, so voters in turn wanted to piss off the judges/producers just proves the point that Kris didn't just win for his talent; but that some people really did just want Kris to win out of spite. Reading it over and over makes it seem like quite a few people voted for that reason. I don't think that would make Kris feel too good. I don't agree that Kris didn't have support from the judges. He was praised quite a bit. I do agree that the Danny and Adam pimping was wrong and that they shouldn't have done that (predicting them as the final 2 over and over was so wrong), but I don't think it is right to hold it against Adam/Danny since they had nothing to do with it. |

I just got home from work and I'm so happy Kris won..Ever since he sang Ain't No Sunshine weeks ago he became my favorite..And while i thought Adam might win because he had all the buzz, i'm stoked Kris won..I think Kris will go on to become a great entertainer..But i also think Adam will have a big career as well...His music is just not my style though.. |

*screams* LOL! I'm so happyyyy! This was the first time i've ever voted for someone on AI. And I voted because I honestly felt like Kris wouldn't win against Adam, that he would need my vote...lol. I'm really shocked, but happy. I came to adore Kris over the weeks. At first, I really didn't think he stood a chance in the competition. His performances were forgettable, and I could barely remember he was there. I think I said somewhere in this thread that he would simply be remembered as the cute kid that would get voted off early. I was wrong, and i'm glad. I voted for him because I think he's talented. I enjoy listening to him, and was anxious to see what interesting things he would do with any given song. I could see myself buying and listening to an album of his. Now...Adam is also clearly talented. He has a great voice, actually, and can perform. But there was something about his high notes that really bugged me. For me, it took away from his performances. And because that was his "thing," the thing he did so often, I ended up not caring for most of his performances. Simon seemed to love what he did with "One," while I hated it. However, I was impressed with Adam on Tuesday night-all three songs. He just seemed to have better control, and used his strengths more wisely. He also seems genuinely nice, which is always refreshing to see. Oh well, even if contestants don't win, they still go on to have successful careers, as we have seen. It's the exposure that helps them. But back to Kris...my darling Kris. LOL. Yes, he's so cute! And he reminds me so much of someone, but it just won't come to me exactly who that is. Anyone else feel this way? Oh, and I FF'd through most of the finale...lol. Those group performances are always so damn cheesy. :x. Other than Kris winning, the highlight of the night for me was the show ending on time. |

There are many fans of Kris (like myself and my friends) who have liked Kris for weeks. Maybe we voted a bit more to make sure that he won, but we were going to vote for him in win. Is he going to be a mega star like Carrie or Kelly...I don't know, but he is going to have success. After his performance with Keith Urban, he might even be able to go a country route. I just think that it is sad that people are taking away from his success by saying he didn't deserve it. Anyone that shows up for the auditions and goes through this process just as much as anyone else. People might not be happy, but you should take Kris's hard work (or anyone else's for that matter) because he wasn't your choice. I also think in the long run Adam is going to be better without this title to deal with. Both guys are going to end up getting signed by the American Idol label because they get first rights to them. Adam might have a bit more creative control which is something he needs to really make the album that is him because he doesn't have to live up to the AI title. |

I love that it now turns out to be a blowout. I had a feeling about that because if it was so close, Ryan would have hyped it up to no end. GO KRIS! He earned his win, fair and square, so suck it haters. This is why Kris could end up not doing so well. He just won and people are dissing him. Suck it up, congratulate him, and get over it. Really. It's just a reality show! LoL! Im a Kris fan but man, if Adam won, I wouldn't be whining about it. |

Oh please! Of course Kris fans would be whining. Give me a break on that one! :lol: If Kris doesn't do well, it's because he's boring, overrated, not as talented, and generic. And yeah, it doesn't help that he shouldn't have won - and everyone knows it - including him. The first thing he said when he won was "It should have been Adam!" We KNOW, Kris!
