And can someone please make that YouTube video link active? I forget how, and I have to get to bed!
I don’t think he’s gay. I used to wear eye-liner cuz hot chicks who wrote poetry liked it. My grampa did not.
American Idle
I can happily and honestly say that I’ve never in my life watched a minute of this show.
I think some parents are going to be shocked at their cell phone bill’s this month...those texting charges add up..
I think Chris Daughtry was season 5, so Daughtry was actually two years previous to Cook, who won season 7.
I guess Newsweek heard Obama say that this wasn't a Christian nation.
‘Newsweek speculated that there was a Christian voting bloc ‘that would affect the outcome of the American Idol finale”
Has Newsweek notified the Dept of Homeland Security about this?
And I don’t buy the “tweenage” votes being the deciding factor - I know plenty of that age group who absolutely LOVE Adam, and from posts on AI-related message boards - they loved him all over the country as well.
And on the flip side of that - my wife and many of our friends - all WAY past tweenage years - voted like mad for Kris Alen.
And according to the official numbers from AT&T - over 38 million votes were cast just from Arkansas (and they said they were extremely heavy for Kris). So the loyalty of his homes state probably made more difference than the “tweenage” vote.
It’s that Kiss performance that made me glad he didn’t win.
Not tonight it wasn't. Pretty sleazy and family hostile I'd say, including a censored cutaway, on-stage stripping, etc. Borderline for children.
I have nothing against Adam.. he seems plenty nice and very talented.
But the way the judges GUSHED over him....like he was the MESSIAH or something...sorta reminded me of the last time the “judges” (media) shoved someone down our throats.
Like why should we even trouble our pretty heads when the smart ones have it all figured out for us?
I am THRILLED that we troubled our pretty heads and said FU to the judges.

So glad Kris won.
Adam lost it because he wussed out and sang nothing but soft, slow tunes. Well, DUH! Obviously that plays to Kris’ strength.
They all wimp out when it counts.
KISS was pretty awesome though :)
It will be interesting to see what Adam in particular comes up with when he starts recording his own material. With his voice he could do anything from opera to ballads, but he really seems to want to be a rocker.
Great video, thanks. I love adoption.
The theory floated last week after Danny lost, that those who used to vote for him would vote for Kris in the future, was a big reason Kris won. I liked Allison, who was voted off the week before Danny.
Not much surprises me, but last night when they announced Kris had won, I was very pleasantly surprised.
The Screamer was getting on my nerves. Adam would have served himself better to resist the urge to scream so much. One big screaming note per song would have been wiser.
During the finale, I was hoping he’d lose because he was screaming everytime they gave him the mic. Less is more Adam, with makeup and screaming.
This year on the show, I had no contestant that I picked from the audition phase as my favorite. I was able to pick Taylor Hicks that way. Didn’t watch the year Carrie Underwood won. I started watching after that year. But this time, no favorite, other than Allison who seems very gifted.
I remember being impressed with Adam after the top 10, but little by little he lost it, just too over the top.
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.
