I don’t think he’s gay. I used to wear eye-liner cuz hot chicks who wrote poetry liked it.

Are you 100% sure that they were chicks?

No. It was Arkansas voters that propelled him to the title. According to local Fox affiliate, 38m of those 100m came from AR alone. Their local AT&T confirmed this.

If anyone suggests that it is unfair to let one state dominate the vote, reply to them that AI should just adopt the electoral college model...that would make a liberal AI fan's head explode.

BTW, I thought Adam had more talent but Kris won fair and square by the rules in place.

ha ha — funny idea Cooter!

Guess I have to admit my “theory” was wrong — the great state of Arkansas made the difference.

Have they said what the margin of victory was?

And.... by losing American Idol, he is not locked into a winner’s contract.

Yeah , did you see the look on Cowell's face?

Cowell, who just sat there while everyone else gave Allen a standing ovation, is probably the biggest loser in all this, but then he can console himself with Susan Boyle...LOL

You are very correct that Adam did not expose his seemy side in his appearance on AI.

HOWEVER, pictures of his seemy side are posted all over the internet. Including public performances in metalic minis and 6’ platform high heels. Also some “over-exposure.” Various body paint and wild outfits that would fit right in at an SF Pride Parade.

The folks watching AI doing the voting are very internet savvy. No way a great number of them were not aware of this pics.

What does any of that have to do with his singing ability?

There have been a bunch of Idol winners who never went on to greatness...I predict Kris will be one of them.

That's the beauty of Kris....he's not looking for greatness...he'll enjoy his time in the spot-light, and when it's over, he'll be just as happy and content to return home to the love of family and friends, and chalk it all up to a very nice experience....then move on to a fulfilling life of peace, love, happiness, and contentment with his beautiful young wife, probably starting their family, etc. He'll do just fine.

What audacity to pretend you know who he is...what makes him tick..and what he will or will not be happy with. Unless you are a friend or relative, you just posted the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read on FR.

And in case you need to be reminded..this is a SINGING CONTEST...Not Mr. America...

Hildy you are dead on. It was a show. All are actors. All should remember that. I watched fifteen minutes of the whole season — just the last of it. I was amazed at the force and depth of Adam’s voice. He could be great, if he got some humility. Kris? Very nice story line, and an appealing voice. All so well-marketed!

Adam will sell more to his market as the loser, and Kris more as the winner. Very shrewd. I’m impressed.

What a big bark you have! Audacity? I don't "pretend" to know anything...it was speculative on my part, I'll grant you...but based on all I've read/seen/heard about Mr. Kris Allen, I'll wager a big-time bet that I'm pretty well on the mark as to what direction he may be headed beyond his win on American Idol.

Hey! Go take a chill pill for crimany's sake!

Don’t listen to Hildy — I think you are dead-spot-on.

You don’t have to be a close friend to be able to make an educated guess like that.

I think he will indeed be happy with whatever happens - this whole experience has been icing on a great cake.

You may not be sorry, and I could care less as to whether or not you were, but you most assuredly Madam...are shallow!

Here’s the difference, Mary Jean...You stated with arrogant surety that you knew these things...and you stated I am shallow. I said that I BET you aren’t too popular...and I stand by it. People just don’t like people like you.
