Get a life and read a few books!
Red State Victory! Of course.
I thought Lambert would have won because the producers seemed to promote him a lot more, but the little I caught, he botched most songs he sung.. very fake..
I think the voters went for skill over flash. I also heard 38 million votes came from Arkansas alone so you had a lot of determined Razorbacks.
prepared to get flamed by left coasters for not doing a spoiler alert! ;)
Well it could be that as many or more folks liked Kris Allen. I think both were great but it was a text/phone vote so the more determined fans won out.
Thanks a lot! I just clicked on Free Republic and your post is a total spoiler. Gosh darn it. It’s only 7:30 here in bankrupt California.
Huh? You take a lot for granted. I am at a loss to figure out how you came up with that red state crap. And does anyone give a crap beside the teeny-boppers?
Most “red staters” that I know don’t watch American Idol. If they do watch, they don’t bother voting.
Fake popularity contests got us the Obamessiah. Who really gives a rat’s ass which singer gets a record contract?
Um, change is not gonna come...
Lambert was a better singer, but Kris was a better all around musician. Kris can sing, play piano and guitar. Kris is so young and inexperienced, even he doesn’t understand this.
Who gives a crap? The gay guy was in the bottom three a couple of times. He might have talent but he wasn’t that popular.
I watched a grand total of 10 minutes this year. I used to watch this but it just doesn’t occur to me to watch it this year.
shocked at the outcome. Adam was great. Several others were really good, including Kris. I thought Adam for sure. I wonder if the media creation of red state/blue state didn’t end up bringing him down. I never would have considered it before it was brought up. Like most people here, I probably evaluate based on talent, performance, etc.
Adam was a tremendous performer, regardless of what he does on the weekends. It may not be all bad for him to lose. Now the Idol producers don’t ‘own’ him for his first album. He can do what he wants with it.
If Adam hadn’t screeched his way through the final, he might have won. Kris outperformed him. What’s more, Adam’s rendition of Kara’s song was off key! I had to put my fingers in my earholes.
You mean the voting is over? The show is still an half hour from starting on the pacific coast.
I think the right man won. The tide started turning against Adam after the Carrie Prejean fiasco, which I think had a lot to do with Adam loosing. He was way to theatrical, Kris’s style was more marketable and it didn’t help to have Adam declared the winner practically from the beginning. I think Kris is great. He’s no David Cook, but he’s the next best thing. I’m happy Kris won.
I thought their talent was pretty close, although Allen played the guitar and piano. I thought it could go either waay based on talent. Lambert was a little smug at times and claimed he was “born to do this”; Alleen was pretty humble throughout. Maybe the humble thing sold better to the people. Maybe young girls — who account for a lot of the voting — were more attracted to Allen, who is a bit more homespun and cute, and apparently heterosexual.
Kris won, but guess who’ll be the bigger star?
Why does everything have to be so political or plitically correct I find it insulting and this is what the media does all the time If Kris won that is great if Adam one that is great as well but do not over think this because the media alludes to the Red state blue state crap. I also think it takes away from the winner
Do you think you could have put something else in the title? And maybe added a spoiler alert? The show’s not over here - thanks.
Just because you have a question and have to rush to post a vanity over it you didn’t bother to think about those of us that watched this show from the beginning who now have the suspense taken out of the ending.
Adam and his over applied cover girl make-up creeped me out . There I have said it.
