Were you there? The crowds were huge in San Diego. Why must you guys knock him. He has never used his sexuality and he has been nothing but polite and gracious. Even in his defeat tonight, he was incredibly gracious and upbeat and kept putting the focus back on the winner. BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS HE SHOULD HAVE WON.
Yes, “everyone” knows that... erm, what? Adam is theatrical which is not current.
And Kris knew it too.
Adam is amazing and will have a great career. I am sad and mad that he didn't win Idol but have nothing but respect for Kris. Both were very nice, respectful kids.
If the crowds were “huge” for Adam the camera didn’t show it.
Bottom line: Arkansas gave Kris 35 million votes, that was enough to put their hometown boy over the edge. If CA had done the same for Adam HE would have won.
Everything happens for a reason and perhaps Kris, the Christian clean cut happily married young man, deserved to win over the male kissing, eyeliner and earring wearing Adam. Singing is not just about singing: it’s about the total package. It’s about how you present yourself. Fact is that many people were turned off by Adam’s screaming and his strutting around the stage. Some people do not consider that true singing.
Kris was creative and turned in some excellent performances too. Like Kara said, “Judge Kris on the entire season, not just one song.”
