oh don’t cry people .. they’re both gonna get an album .. no big deal ..Adam will be more successful of course, like Daughtry .. it’s a win win situation ya’ll

WTFFFFF???? America got it wrong. But Adam is going to be way more sucessful than Kris.

Kris is not original and has no talent. Adam can sing better than him. Whatever I’m upset!

America does not want a Gay American Idol and Adam is gay that’s why he lost. Gay Adam will have a long, costumed career on Broadway along with all the other FLAMERS!!!!!!!!!! Go Kris A real Man!!

Yes, Adam will do fine…especially on broadway. Kris is boring, but deserved to win….Unfortunetley, the songs that Kira wrote for them to sing were AWFUL…and that didn’t help them.
The best man won.
BTW, I thought neither were that great in the final two.

kris deserved to win !!
adam is def. talented, but i think he needs to go back to broadway !! that’s the place he belongs..i really don’t think he should record an album..he screams far too much !!

@LuckyL:

I agree and you know what Kris won but will he sell albums that will be the big question.

Even though I am pissed that Adam didn’t win, he will be fine and he will not be tied down to Idol contract, which is a good thing. He can have control over his music etc

As a fellow San Diegian, I am very proud of you Adam

although i think adam had the better voice, kris was the better performer and has the potential to be an amazing artist, in my opinion.

Kris is a good singer but I feel Adam was the better over all performer and entertainer! I will be a forever fan Adam………..Congrats KRIS!!!!!

holy crap. HOLY CRAP. kris is fine, but ADAM DESERVED IT TIMES A MILLION! i cried so muchhh when he lost :( HE’S MY LIFE. now what am i gonna do!? america SUCKS. wtflipppppppppp

so many of the past winners have been from the south. ADAM SHOULD HAVE WON.
this is ridiculous. i swear..
anyways i hope kris has fun under his american idol contract while adam lambert becomes famous and gets his own freedom with another label.
runner ups always sell more records and become more successful so :P

actually,
i have heard both, kris and adams type of music.
kris won because he was more universal.
he took a heartless and turned it into his own.
adam he didnt really show universatiliity.
KRIS was the one who i wanted to win hes the best!!
GOOOOO KRISSS!! well if you guys remmber, david A. was the
one that everyone wanted to win and then david C. beat him
so the past 2 years(including this one) the underdog has won.
idk, i like KRISS! hess really good. i am deff not saying adam
isnt good cause to be honest he is really good, its just universatility.
adam cant really go universal, kris can. hahah we all have our opinions soo dont get mad about minee pleasee.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Adam was the clear winner and by far the best. I’ll be buying Adam’s album, not Kris’.

he is so annoying @ 05/20/2009 at 10:31 pm

thank goodness that gaybert didn’t win. he screams like a girl. so gay!

@Paulie: u r sooo right!!! adam deserves to be the new american idol!!!!

I’m so happy! Congratulations Kris!<3 :D
Adam, is eh :| nothing special. He’s cute but nott as hott as Kris!
They both have awesome talent but I think Kris has more!
So happy right now :P<3

ADAM LAMBERT is the best artist that has EVER BEEN on that show.

are you kidding me?
I can’t believe it.

I’m so gonna cry.

But, well, Kris is a really good boy, and he deserves it too.

I really thought Adam would win- Happy for Kris- I still thought Adam was a far better vocalist and far better performer also. I think they both will have a good future in the music industry.

karma's a bish @ 05/20/2009 at 10:37 pm

adam was probably expecting to win since he got to be the cover of a magazine last time. lmao. i’m so glad he didn’t.

YESS! I LOVE YOU KRIS!!!! :D

Yea KRIS ALLEN!!!!! You deserve it!!!! You were awesome, America Loves YOU!!!!

america is tone deaf usually, but i think they FINALLY started to get a sense of hearing back. kris was the best one this season and he deserved to win!
