Some of us here were stating that Kris Allen, a church choir director, beat Lambert because a good number of those watching didn't want a degenerate like Lambert winning American Idol.
Kris Allen has a better voice. Adam Lambert shrieks like I-don’t-know-what. Last night, his tongue was flailing out of his mouth, like he was a Gene Simmons/KISS wannabee. It was repulsive. I could only take a few seconds of his awful voice, then I turned the sound down, but watched the act. I saw the *kiss*, but thought it was a girl.
