If I didnt know any better, I would have thought Adam was the American Idol. He looks like a star already.

# 2

Those guys are awesome. They deserve everything they’ve got from American Idol, which will be a lot more than we think judging by the publicity they’ve been getting!

ARGH! I hate the title. It should be retracted and the proper title should follow:

American Idol Kris Allen and Followup Adam Lambert Live!

or better yet:

American Idol Kris Allen Live!

Kris looks hot.

# 5

LOVE THEM !!!!!
ofcourse i think adam should have won. but kris is also GREAT singer!
Adam is also a great performer, but who cares. coz these two will have big future!!!!!!

# 6

Kris has no star power! And his reaction to the results was so BLAH!

He is cute though..

# 7

I’m glad that Lambert lost, he sucks.

# 8

I love Kris. <3

# 9

OMG Adam looks so cute!

Why Kris looks like that?

Oh, please, haters. Adam is fierce. He makes the baby Jesus cry rhinestones with his fierceness.

kris = boring

Adam = cool

Don’t accuse Jesus, that’s rude
Kris just doesn’t look happy, his body language shows

They are ALL adorable and very talented!

That is good that Kris Allen won …

If they did an album together, I’d certainly buy it.

aww, I love Allison’s style..her and adam were my top 2

Kris looks hot hot hot!!

I don’t see peoples and the medias fascination with Adam…

I thought the Larry King interview was great. Adam is already a superstar. Kris was really sweet. They seem like great friends. I loved when they listened to what the judges had said. Kris will have a nice career and Adam’s is going to soar.

Kris = cute
Adam = gay@John:

Adam Hot Hot Hot

Star!!!!!!!

@mallory: Yeah he does already look like a star. Hes got an awesome voice and EVERYTHING. Kris’s voice is nice too. (:

Adam is just a Super Star!! look at the pics people!! He is so fierce!!

Shannon beckham @ 05/23/2009 at 9:01 pm

OMG KRIS IS SOOOO HOT! I LOVE HIM!!!

I love Adam, Allison, Megan and PAULA

Kris is OK but I can’t stand him.

They were both amazing! I was addicted this season!
They both so hot! Yummy..

whaledancer99 @ 05/23/2009 at 9:13 pm

@Kristina:

Adam and Allison were my faves….. the two A’s… they should do another duet. .and it would sell big time..

Adam is pretty sexy!

Anybody have high resolution versions of these? i want to try and figure out what brand kris’s glasses are..

wow~~~Adam u r a STAR! The other one ?Not so much.

Kris = HOT

Adam = ok.

Adam is waaayy better than the guy who won. what’s his name again?

And Adam has more pix than that other guy. :)

So, is it 100% true Adam loves boys?

@Kateline: I hope he likes girls! He said the favorite thing about a shoot they had were the (female) cheerleaders. So there’s hope! He will be — like Simon said — the first worldwide stare from AI.

God, i can’t express in words how much i love Adam. I’m actually listening to him right now<3

I’m in Adam Lambert withdrawl.

Ah, Adam and the blast from the past 80’s! I don’t think the glam makeup, huge platform shoes, and screeching singing would have made much of a comeback. He would have had a better chance as his natural self, singing without all the theatrics.

Kris sings right to the heart of each and every one in the audience. And, he’s multi-talented. Plays piano, guitar and viola. Would love to see him pair up with Danny for a few tunes.

Yeah Kris is kinda cute. Too bad he doesn’t have much stage presence. I would be bored to tears watching a whole concert by him.

@Christian: @Christian: LOL. Queen, Plant, The Stones, Slash, Bono, KISS and a ton of other legends disagree. Your argument is invalid ;)

The real idol @ 05/23/2009 at 10:51 pm

Adam is so very cool and hot and will be a worldwide star!

Kris is so very boring, bland, average, generic, mediocre and blah!

Wow those pics are really telling! ADAM clearly looks like the star and Kris looks like he’s a member of his entourage. Adam is going to be a huge star, it’s so clear. Kris is nice and sweet, but *yawn* b-o-r-i-n-g, his 15 minutes will start ticking soon.

ADAM IS THE WORLDS IDOL, KRIS IS O.K BUT SO BORING… HE WON’T LAST LONG, IT SHOWS

LOVE THEM BOTH.

adam looks so sexy,hot, & cute look at that sexy smile L♥VE ADAM SO MUCH can’t wait 2 buy his cd!!!! :} ♥♥♥♫♪☻

@Rose: are you blind or what? browse more in the internet and watch y–t-be to see for yourself lol

Adam’s hot! As always!

hendrix, not sure if your comment was to me, but for sure all those aging legends wanted Adam in the forefront so they could resurrect their faded careers and drag their 60-year-old bodies on stage in the hope of reliving their youth.

Ozzy Osborne would be a hoot to watch, however.

omg~~~! adam is so hot~~~!

Adam, lookin’ like the star he is.

queeneetha @ 05/24/2009 at 12:31 am

I am in Adam withdrawal also….Thanks for the pics.
Look what a star he is. People are probably screaming for him as
they come out. Not Kris though. Kris is frowning….I like Kris also - but I feel sorry for him because he feels like an imposter to the throne. The truth….his votes were bought by little girls. Adam has the bigger fan base from the littlest to the 90 year old grandmas!!!!! They love him. BUT — they didn’t - couldn’t vote….so Kris won.

mrsefron. @ 05/24/2009 at 1:12 am

I LOVE ADAM LAMBERT <333 HE IS AMAZINGGG. & a babeeeee:]]

wooo adammm<3333333

It looks like Adam is like friggiiinnnn Brad Pitt & Everyone else is his “people” lmaoo. Adam iss betterr! Adam OWNS EVERYTHING.

I can NOT wait til Adam’s
album drops, gonna be A - M - A - Z - I - N - G <3

PS- IDOL FIXED IT SO ADAM DOES NOT WIN - because the single “no boundries” sucks, & It’s NOT good enough for Adam. So it was Okay like Kris so they had to match it up.

&& If Adam was tied up with the winner’s idol contract, he would not be able to do his own thing. so kinda happened for the better Adam didnt win.

PS- 90% of the time, The constants becomes more popular than the winner… EXAMPLE: David Archuleta, Chris Daughtry, Jenn Hudson, Katharine McPhee!

<3ILOVEEEEADAMMLAMbERT<3

queeneetha @ 05/24/2009 at 1:34 am

How over the top and expressive the ADAM fans are.
WE LOVE OUR BOY!

Adam is so hot!!! He is already a superstar
the other one…sorry,he is ordinary,boring

Adam is outselling Kris here in Canada on our iTunes Top-Selling Albums chart!

Adam is awesome! I miss him already. He acts like a superstar. He should be the next Michael Jackson. He is so glamorous. Let him do some concerts. Kris is cute but Adam is BIG….

Adam is THE superstar.

Adam looks AWESOME!! He is fierce and beautiful and talented!
The man is headed for Super Stardom!!!

ADAM ROCKS MY WORLD(ROCK GOD)!!!

ADAM IS PURE PERFECTION!!!

Sorry, I don’t see what people like in Kris. Just look at him - totally uncomfortable!

To me Adam is incredible.
Kris is so ordinary. I don’t see they whole…he is so cute stuff. I don’t like the singing out of the corner of his crooked mouth.
Adam is a star……Kris……..not so much. Kris should be the warm up act for Adam. The sad part is that Kris knows this. You can tell. First words out of his mouth when he found out he won was…..Adam deserves this.

The last picture says it all……..Adam=star
Kris=boring

Adam is amazing, he is so classy and sexy. The World Idol that what he is.

“American Idols Kris Allen & Adam Lambert Live!” - A great title! I just wished Adam would have won. He’s the best to EVER grace the Idol stage. Even Kris said so himself! :)

cant wait ... @ 05/24/2009 at 6:02 am

for danny gokey’s album

What a great bunch of kids, very talented. Adam is definently the star, though.

@Rose: duh are you deaf and blind….check the various websites and interview and see for yourself who got the better attention…..

I PREFER ADAM LAMBERT!
HE SHOULD HAVE WON!
HIS VOCALS ARE LIKE 1000000 TIME BETTER!

MYSTERY SELLS!
Boredom does not!

I love them both! KRADAM thing makes me happy but I really think ADAM should have won Idol… he is superb! amazing! talented and soooo gorgeous!!! well, Kris is Sweet but married! …:)

ADAM RULEEESSS!!!!!!!! KRIS SUCCKSS!!!! He obviously didnt deserve the title.. but whatever he’s nice guy!

evelyn0055 @ 05/24/2009 at 10:39 am

7 photos of adam only 3 of kris, I guess even the camera has a favorite. Everyone was probably screaming Adams name, maybe that is why Kris looks unhappy. Love Adam

If anything the headline should be changed to “Adam Lambert and that other guy live”.Adam = HOT

evelyn0055 @ 05/24/2009 at 10:56 am

Whenever Adam sang on Idol, did anyone remember what the others sang that night? Maybe that is why the producers picked a Sam Cook song for Adam instead of someone like Gun’s and Roses or Queen. Were they afraid no one would remember what Kris sang? He could of blown Kris out of the water with a rock song. I believe they did it on purpose. I also believe they wanted Kris to win. Love Adam

@Christian:

get real and dig you head out of the fanatical frame you dwell in, it is a singing contest not a relegious venue and what if a muslem or jew had won, would that have mad tem suck. I bet you were a “what would Jesus do” and do not have a clue and just for the benifit YOU THINK HE IS GAY and maybe he is maybe bi-sexual and maybe you want him to want you and are hiding behind the cloak of relegion. you sound like a hyopcrite to me!! a bigot and a racist too!

evelyn0055 @ 05/24/2009 at 11:43 am

@Bobby:
You are right . A true christian accepts everyone for who they are and does not judge them. Does she think there are no gay christians?

@mallory: There are more photos of Adam Lambert shown here than Kris.

If Adam is so great and a super star why do Adam fans feel the need to say bad stuff about Kris? Why does he even register in your mind if Adam is this global superstar the likes which we’ve never seen??!?!?!?!

I think Adam fans are a wee bit threatened by the hot, understated artist that is the American Idol - KRIS ALLEN!!

Get over it and move on.

ADAM and KRIS are both winners. Kris needed the title more than Adam who is on his way to SUPERSTARDOM with or without winning. Adam’s adoring fans will love him even more with a passion!. Although Adam is the one deserving to be the AI, it could not have happen to a better guy than Kris whose career can now take off being the AI. Adam doesn’t need it but in fact is better off being a runner up.
GOD has something better for Adam much more than AI.
Not winning it, Adam is paving the way for Kris who needs it. And Kris’ winning is a beautiful story to tell. Wish them both all the luck and success in the world.

Kris very good im happy Lambert didnt win

Wow Adam looks like Elvis!!

Adam is bi-sexual, and that’s cool with me. I think he makes many straight men fall in love :lol: I think he’ll be with the person he loves not the woman / man! Shame, Kris is cute though - he always says nice things about Adam

@mallory:

Well apparently you don’t know any better. Kris is the American Idol. Just because you look like a star doesn’t make you one. Their success remains to be seen. Time will tell.

Good grief @ 05/24/2009 at 1:55 pm

@Kathy K:

Have you ever heard of Kelly Clarkson? She is a world-wide star. Adam will not be the first. As a matter of fact, he may not even be the second.

Adam you look FEROSH, boy!

Kris looks amazing, as well. Who’s that dude in the glasses? ;) Oh, that’s right, no one cares.

adam looks awesome.. as usual

kris looks depressed. some teen girls screaming at ya every night kris…?

who cares who won

thier both sweet

but i like kris lesser.. he has agood voice but i would fall asleep listening to him.

and kris fans

make fun of adam to!

just everyone stop

and just congratulate both of them. on their sucess and near sucess.

hopefully for kris and adam.

@cslove:

If you can learn to use the “google” function, there is no doubt that Adam is a gay man. So what? he is only “bi-sexual” to those who are in denial or deluded. Either way, you don’t stand a chance:P

ADAM HAD TO WIN

Hey!!!! Kris Allen is the only American Idol. Adam Lambert is the runner-up. Not the same thing. Just sayin.

and Krisss. You’re amazing.

Cmon people, Adam should look like a star. He’s been moving in the L.A circle doing work as a theater actor for years now. Kris and the rest of the idols have only been exposed to L.A. and paparazzi just now.

sanjo 1965 @ 05/24/2009 at 11:04 pm

adam should of won but like daughtry people just dont understand rock./

Baby Jesus? How dare you! Our Lord and Savior deserves respect at all times and I highly doubt your careless, tasteless and pointless remark would be well accepted by Him.

And as for the context of your remark, Kris Allen won (at least from my perspective) because America is still a country of God-fearing Christians…many of whom rallied behind the singer who most represented their own values.

Adam has talent, but if you want to be supported by others, the way you represent yourself matters too. Adam could take some pointers from Kris.

Allison <333
her and Adam should have been top 2

I thought Adam was awsome throughout the show. He will make it big and not being voted American Idol wont stop that form happening. And to all those who have an issue with him being gay…get a life!

queeneetha @ 05/25/2009 at 12:43 am

It’s okay….WORLD IDOL…— ADAM LAMBERT….

queeneetha @ 05/25/2009 at 12:51 am

I REALLY CAN’T BELIEVE ANYONE CARES IF HE IS GAY OR WHATEVER.

HE IS A HUMAN BEING PUT ON THIS PLANET FOR A PURPOSE JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE. THIS ISN’T THE DARK AGES.

CRYING OUT LOAD - PEOPLE WHO JUDGE NEED TO GROW UP AND BECOME TOLERANT.

I AM 57 - I LOVE ADAM - I ALSO LIKE KRIS. Heard him on Ellen . Really good job.

But ADAM - he is our WORLD IDOL.

I remember the first time I heard the Beattles, Pink Floyd, Queen, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pavorati, Celine Dion, Il Divo, Karen Carpenter, and so on and on.

Same chills - same feeling. THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

We are witnessing the evolution of a new rock/musical icon.

God Bless ADAM Lambert - WORLD IDOL

Hey Jared,
You missed Scott McIntyre [sp]. He was on one of the pictures too. :)

Great pictures, btw.

Look at the photos above. Notice there are 7 of Lambert and 3 of the Winner, Kris Allen. This is the bias of the Media, which was most responsible for the tempest about Adam Lambert.

Yet again, the Press, having lost all sense of decorum and objectivity, rather than “covering” the contest, inserted its bias into the story by virtue of its coverage.

Having read their own preferential coverage, they are now shocked, SHOCKED that their favorite didn’t win.

And as demonstrated above, they are still pimping their favorite.

And they wonder why they don’t have any credibility as “journalists”!

@Duh: Maybe you’re the deluded one?

So what’s Adam going to sing about? I mean, seriously, you don’t expect to hear him sing about love and romance, that would sound odd. I do believe he should stick to broadway.

so the summer tour has finally ended and indeed, adam lambert proved that he is the star of the show. if i were kris, i would give up the title as he obviously won over the most deserving finalist. good luck to both and i feel that kris needs more luck than adam.
