  • Well said!

  • wow.......... the way you think is so retarded.... wow..... your brain works in strange ways........ you are stupid! Ya, I thought Adam is great..... but.... the retarded way you think makes me feel sorry for you

  • I wish Adam won. i got to say Kris is a good singer but in my opinion, Adam was better! WAAAAAAYYY better.

  • ok, Kris wasn't unique enough to be fair winner but actually, if Adam had won, hye'd have to adjust to Idol's conditions and he wouldn't be as free and creative as he is now :) they'd limit him! :( he also proves that even runner-up can be world-wide star and completely outshine winner!

    yay for Adam!

  • Adam is so cool <3

  • i losh adam lambert <3

  • not sabotage, adam was the best in american idols ; he deserves to be in 2nd. Could be the winner, because he is better than kris. :)

    love him

    i'm a huge fan of adam, and i respect the other fans of kris, i like kris, and i think he is an amazing singer, but adam should have win :]

    sry my bad enghish, portuguese girl here :)

  • even though kris won, nd Adam's gay, im still for Adam. i still think that Adam is the best idol contestant they've ever had. this guy's rite, Adam should've won, he's like wat sparked todays music. i listen to him all the time, nd this is the only guy i know rite now that doesn't hate Adam. im so happy to know that sum guy out there actually likes Adam. i already know every girl LOVES Adam, nd im1 of them. i hope Adam goes on forever nd he really shudn't care wat other ppl are saying about him.

  • @25yomama I agree 100% with youu (:

  • @25yomama I agree with you! (sorry for my english i`m german!)

  • @25yomama well said, 101% agree with you :) adam is the best.

  • I agree totally!!!!!

  • Ya I think think that's what happened a lot of people who were favorites like Danny and Alison when they got eliminated ther fans had it out for Adam and in the end all those people voted for Kris not Adam

  • I totally love Adam, his music, & the personality he presents to the world - I voted more than 900 times for him, on the finale, so I'm pretty pissed he didn't win - I agree with you, about how it must've gone down. But, he's doing well now - WWFM has gone platinum, and the 3 of them (Adam, Kris, & Allison) are all doing relatively well - love all 3. (That AMA controversy was ridiculous)

  • he sings in a girlish way hes gay but he has more tallent than kris and kris is talented but adam has a flare in his voice and im kinda glad adam lost cuz like american idol winners dont get as famous as they can cuz theyll be famous for the rest of the year but then another season will come and ppl will like the next idol better to but adam has that nonforgetable voice and kris is just another pop singer but adamhs the rocker edge to him and thats wat makes him noticeable, plus hes super hot!

  • to me, this makes no sense. its dumb!!!! anyways, the person that comes in second place always does better than the person who comes in first. what about daughtry and taylor hicks? i had to sit there and think "whos taylor hicks???" oh yea, hes that guy who won idol. i mean seriously!!!!!!!!! i love adam lambert!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • @pixiechickie333 i totaly agree with you

  • My theory for adam not winning, is because people found out that he was gay so they became ass's and started voting for kris! I love adam lambert and have all his songs, i don't personally like kris allan, and adam didn't even win and he already released a CD but kris has JUST released one and adams had been out for a while.

  • @EMOssY112233 go adam hes more talented

  • check out the book Adam Lambert Second To None by Kerry Kolsch... It just came out! You are partially right, however, every state wanted Adam to win even red states except Arkansas- his family, friends, paster and corporate/gov interests in Arkansas manipulated the AI voting system to force the vote for Kris! Please help us promote the truth!

  • the people in Arkansas staged a rigged voting by multiple votes 38 million votes from Arkansas ? I don't think so

  • so true. Adam should have 1. there is no reason he shouldent have. i think ppl who dont really care about american idol aka "the spoilers" voted for Kris just to ruin it for everyone else, LOVE u Adam<3

  • adam ruined his shot on the ama's he lost allot of shows and allot of interviews, he is not reliable for being positive, He is good at what his dose, i see this the same as clay aiken and ruben clay won secont but sold more then almost all the idols

  • @vwgti101 nt true he got himself noticed by that kiss nd the rest at the amas he did not spoil it he helped it

  • im sad he lost, but in a way im happy because now american idol doesnt get to own him and he wont be screwed over. he will make it big no matter what. hes way to awesome to be kept down!

  • that was my theory too!!!!!! TEAM ADAM!!!!!!

  • This is very true.. And i know thats what happened.. I agree adam is way better everyone is like kris.. But whatever adam will be more famous anyways. But best of luck to em both.

  • He could have toned it down a bit. but he stayed true to himself. Secondly, He chose the wrong song to do for his second choice...Mad World was not a winning song. Ring of Fire, regardless of the reviews, actually showed what he can do...in my opinion would have been better, but who really knows anyway...(side note: the studio version of ring of fire sucks. they took out all the good parts and made it boring.........)

  • Ok...No need to fight folk...My thoughts? First, I do want to say that the rate of openly gay men/women who were out before their fame hit is VERY minimal...That being said...I am a HUGE Adam lambert fan. Being a musician/singer myself, I think not only does he have an intensely amazing instrument, his musical thoughts and ideas are quite new and innovative. Why did he not win??? First: Rocker/Alt vs Boy-next-door? the south has a lot of power in the states...sadly..

  • & BTW FYI

    IMHO

    I don't even like women who paint their face to convince people that they are better looking than they think they are themselves. Can you spell INSECURE and IMMATURE,  with no self respect ? When a man goes out of his way do to that, it is even worse. This has nothing to do with homosexuality. FYI

  • BTW, now that I am here responding 2U QR and looking over the comments to catch myself up to speed on this vid. I have to say I am just so very tired of the BS being thrown around about lambert's loss being due to Christians- conservatives. If that were true none of the gay entertainers who are/were greats could be the stars they are/were. All the way back to Liberace who was in almost every American home at a much more conserative time than now. Anyone who suggests otherwise is causing trouble.

  • i think he should have won but its better that he didnt he is still gettin major attention and has a huge following and now he can go do his own thing doesnt have to do what american idol wants him to do

  • I agree with you 99.9% Adam should have won but I was actually a Alison fan..lol. i think she should have been in the top 2 with Adam I agree that he should have won tho...you are very right on that!!! Congrats..you are very truue about everything

  • u rock! adam is the best.

  • it's virginia not furginia it is inopertune not unapertune

  • virginia is the south

  • To the Adam haters:

    You are so fuckin' ignorant, it is pathetic!!Adam has fans of ALL ages. Straight ones too. His personal life has nothing to do with his talent. The real winner is so obvious at the tour concerts. I do like Kris but Adam is a super star and will be a World icon. So make all the "gay "comments you want. Because No matter what your hate or ignorance says, It will never change the truth. Adam is the true star...

  • LOL amen!!!

  • tee hee, mustachio.

    i cant stop giggling at the mustache.

  • Kris was awesome, as was Allison, Adam & Danny....I don't agree.....Kris didn't *SCREAM* every song......He was unique..Adam has a great future in front of him; as well as the rest of them....Allison, Adam & Danny...**ADAM BOMB****** is a great name for his first album/CD

  • thars obvious.

  • i don't think Adam would've been a good choice...he's to rock to be pop and to pop *coughgaycough* to be rock.....put on a stage at ozfest or cruefest and he'd be chased out by a angry mob.....

  • and looking at some of these comments, who is he not appealing to? the conservatives, the teenage guys, and any older person who doesnt like all the screaming in their ears.

  • So, adam is more talented and does have the "whole packege" and i personally think he should have won, however, i think chris appealed to a bigger portion of the audience. lets face it adams fans are the teenage girls, the gays and the guys like you who can see real talent. but chris was also very talented and maybe they didnt choose adam becuase he is gay, and his style of music is just a little too eccentric for most peoples comfort zones. in the end, american idol is all a popularity contest

  • Comment removed

  • adam was a winner from the begining

  • Adam should have won

  • Adam Lambert would make a GREAT female impersonator, he could do Liza Mannelli, without too much make up change. His body reminds me of a 45 year old Jewish Dentist, spare tire middle, love handles, big wide fat lady behind.. He has horrible skin and bad hair. His high notes come from being hormonally imbalanced, NOT from being a great singer. He ACTS like a Rocker, but is not a rocker. After awhile his same scream in almost every uptempo song got on my nerves BIG TIME. Give us a break here.

  • Gr8stuffis? U R A TOTAL IDIOT AND WOULDN'T KNOW REAL TALENT IF IT BITE U IN UR DUMB ASS! ADAM LAMBERT IS HAWT, HAWT, HAWT AND HE IS NOT FAT, I SAW HIS FACE A FOOT FROM MINE AND HIS SKIN IS AWESOME, HIS SPEAKING VOICE IS DEEP, NO HORMONE PROBLEM AND UR JEALOUS AND JUST A HATER, PERIOD.ADAM IS NOT AN "AMERICAN IDOL" HE IS AN INTERNATIONAL IDOL. YOU PROBABLY VOTED FOR GW BUSH TOO! GET OVER YOURSELF, STOOP!

  • OM goodness.... temper temper gueenrosered ~

    I guess if you type it in all caps that makes it all true, huh? OK, try this on.:

    ADAM LAMBERT IS TALENTED, BUT NOT THE SECOND COMING OF FREDDIE MERCURY, NOR IS HE AN INTERNATIONAL STAR, & UNLESS HE GETS THE KIND OF HYPE ASSIST THAT HE IS GETTING HE WOULD BE RIGHT WHERE HE WAS PRIOR TO IDOL, WHICH IS NOT ANYWHERE MOST PEOPLE EVEN KNOW ABOUT.

    I would say enjoy your time in Mexico with Steven Fudd, but it would have to take a moron to do that.

  • omg me and my friend Sophie were talking about that too. xD it's so true. idols gonna be all over him goin "WHATCHAGONNADONOA?" and adams just gonna be all "Wheeee." plus, it wasn't based on how good the singers were. they were completely different. it was based on taste.

  • I disagree, let me tell you why. If Danny Gokey fans voted for Kris strictly based on the fact that Danny was gone also proves they didnt like Kris either. So in essence neither of them deserved to win? Voting for Kris because they like his christian background isnt the measure of an artist, so my argument still stands. Thx for watching.

  • As I said before...i didn't like Adams voice. It is crystal clear...but very feminine. He reminds me of the guy from "Step Brothers"...when they are singing ,Sweet child Of Mine, "I CAN SING HI-III-III-GH". There are just too many videos were Adam goes "DIVA" mode or over-the-top with Christina Aguilera type singing. There are many non-christains that dislike gays or anybody different. We learn it from the school-yards to treat people different....not so much in church...if you compare the two.

  • tell me. do you like shrimp?

  • ok people, its time to learn a new tactic...worry only about the present and not the past!

  • Honestly I think AI lied. Kris winning got people talking and negative talk is still a good thing in Hollywood. Something is VERY fishy here. I want to see the numbers before i ever believe Kris won. He's a great guy, very nice and I am so glad it was him over Danny Gokey but talent wise Adam is the true winner. We'll see come fall and when the albums come out. I'm not angry/bitter just very skeptical.

  • Adam was robbed!!!

  • Maybe Kris did get Danny's votes,but they cant keep voting for Danny,just b/c someone you like left,does not mean you can not vote,and danny and kris had the same style...so,ya....

  • agreed

  • Adam didnt need to win the show to be the best.

  • I like him I want to suscribe!

  • kris definately deserved to win Kris your amazing!!!!

  • Adam was definately the best performer throughout the entire season. No doubt about it!

  • I heard Adam was gay and I was like dude, gay haters are the reason he lost. I mean he was obviously better. Who really cares, the runner up usually ends up more successful anyway...

  • pfff ur a Adam fan u love american idol maaaaaan FUCK KRISS ALLEN FUCK ADAM LAMBERT GET A LIFE DICKFACE

  • i totally agree with you man ADAM WAS OUTSTANDING CONSISTENTLY and also i think that cris won bcuz everybody already knew that adam would have a record deal!!!!! so they just voted for runner up ADAM WAS THE STUFF and AI winner or not he will go very very far in this industry!!!!!

  • i agree wit him

  • Adam i lv u!

  • Conservatives don't watch Idol.....they're too busy watching Hannity.

  • They're too busy living their lives.

  • Exactly my point.

    and I agree with you....Who cares, with the exposure he got, he'll do well.

    The US is getting closer to being able to accept openly gay people, but there are still parts that aren't. That doesn't mean that we should hate those people or bear hostility towards the ignorant, it takes time and education to teach people that gay people aren't evil...(and this is coming from a straight guy)

  • This is coming from a straight guy as well. I don't condone homosexuality, and I think it's ridiculous to say that people are born gay, but even more ridiculous would be to discriminate against people for being (in my view) perverted, when society as a whole is perverted and promotes everything sexual. I think people who hate gays are idiots. They make people with my opinion look bad and they should all burn. THAT'LL TEACH EM. lulul... jkjkjkjkj

  • i agree!!! :D adam brought it EVERY WEEK and to be honest i hated kris... but i think if ur talking about the WHOLE package than adam has it he has the talent he has the style the stage presence he's just got rockstar quality oozing out of him anyway adam is a star and kris will fade into the background

    anyway thats my opinion

    -Cammy

  • I can understand your theory and while I do think some people voted for Kris based on his beliefs I don't believe that is why he won. I think Kris and Danny share a closer style in genre than do Danny and Adam. So, it's only natural that many Danny fans would vote for Kris because they have a more similiar singing style. However, I also know many Danny fans who voted for Adam after he was eliminated. So, it's all up for interpretation. I think people just need to let it go and move on. Adam has.

  • i agree with this totally! he should hav one and he was more consistant and about the votes going to kris- spot on. and i love adam so much. so much talent in one person

  • I love Adam!!

    mike

  • To be honest I think this happens all the time. I don't think anyone expected Ruben to win (no offence to you Ruben fans) and when Clay didn't win everyone was flabergasted. So I think I agree with your "conservatives" idea - seems pretty plausible...

  • What have u been smoking???? Kris deserved to win so get on with ur life

  • c'mon now!! What are YOU smoking?? Are you really trying to say that Kris had better vocals than Adam??? No way! Kris was an adorable little Christan boy that had a decent voice but he definitely pales in comparison to Adam Lambert! Adam is gay and if you ask me, that's what shot him in the foot and in this day and age, that's really sad!!!

  • The proof is in the pudding. Adam's official site never has fewer than 200 people logged on at any given time while Kris' at times barely has 40. Adam's a star and while Kris is sweet and very talented he's not the least bit original. Heartless was reworked by the Fray. Adam on th eother hand completely changed Tracks of My Tears and If I can't have you and turn them into completely new and fresh songs. Not to mention his Whole Lotta Love performance which was the stuff of rock god land

  • You obviously haven't heard The Fray's version of Heartless, it sounds nothing like the one Kris did. She Works ?Hard for the Money, To Make You Feel My Love, and Ain't no Sunshine were all completely original as well. If you prefer Adam that's fine, but to say Kris wasn't original is completely ludicras.

  • you're right about ANS and hard for the money. However I still think the Fray's Heartless was kris' inspiration. Kris deserved to win just as much as Adam did. He's talented and super sweet. I'm just saying he didn't reinvent the wheel is all.

  • I am excited for Adam's cd.

    And I do agree, Danny's voters most likely went over to Kris. Also it might have had something to do with the fact that the judges constantly said that Adam was the front runner of the whole season, and he "over shadowed" everyone else including Kris, and people love to vote for the underdog.

    But, even though I was kind of mad that Adam didn't win over Kris, I've gotten over it and I wish all the best to Kris.

  • You're closed minded to conservatism yet in your warped mind that makes you open minded? Wow, how deceived can one get?

  • Adam Lambert is defidentally the better singer but Kris only one because the girls in thier 20s and 30s are wannabees to go out with him!!AS SOON as AAdam Lambert music goes out, I WILLbuy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Adam is amazing. Period.

    I think the final two should have been Adam and Allison.

    On Friday Rolling Stone Mag has an interview with Adam about coming out.

    Adam was definitely more consistant, and Kris to me, is exactly like everyone else. Adam is original. Which amazes me.

    I can't wait to see what he comes out with :)

  • OMg i can completely agree with everything but Kris is li'ke everyone else.....he's WORSE!!!

  • Are you saying Heartless and Ain't no sunshine weren't original?

  • Nooo....? I said that Adam was more original, and he brought it every week.

    Kris was okay, and Heartless was my favorite song by him, but Adam was better in my opinion.

  • My favorite was Danny and when Danny was eliminated I didn't watch or vote after that. I had nothing to do with that. It doesn't matter if Adam did or did not get chosen, people that liked Adam will buy his music.

  • I LOVE ADAM

  • adammm is awesome!

  • WHOOOOOT ADAM!

  • first off your kinda hot, but i agree, adam needs his respect cause he got on that stage and gave it all and he's not affraid to come out of the closet, he's crazy wild about his new relationship and i'm proud of him

  • Thank you for your thoughtful commentary. I agree with every point you've made here. I still feel sad that Adam didn't win, because he was so deserving of the win. I am very much looking forward to his future recordings and concerts. He definitely will be a major superstar.

  • Adam should have one outright on this voice alone. But Adam could not play an instrument. Kris could do both, but his voice was limited to Adam's. Kris will be forgotton in time, however Adam will live on much longer despite him coming second. As for the Sabotage, many had hoped Adam had it in the bag, but people change their minds quickly at the last minute, so bad luck on the night and it's know that telephone votes are rigged! Your Vid was interesting though. Thank you! :-)x

  • Adam should have won.

  • but he didn't...so now what you need to do as a community is boycott the next american idol. (it won't be effective...)...but but that's what you need to do.

    Getting all boohooey doesn't solve anything but make you look like a bunch of crybabies.

  • KRIS!!!

  • Contrary to popular belief....conservatives really don't care about the arts too much, in fact most of us didn't even watch American Idol. To assume that it was a conservative conspiracy is not only ludicrous, but it's ignorant. Got news for ya man, there are as many liberals who're uncomfortable by gay men as there are conservatives, the difference is, a lot of people who claim liberalism will lie about it and tell you what you want to hear.

  • The AI content was just a singing contest, and not a morality contest. The best singer should

    have won, and the best singer was Adam.

    If it had been a morality contest, no one would

    have won. Everyone is guilty of something.

    AT&T helped Kris's fans in Arkansas sway the votes in Kris' favor by loaning them speed dialing machines, and giving them training,. AT&T did not do the same for Adam.

    Speed machines are illegal, so anyone that

    used them including Christians performed an

    illegal act.

  • I seriously doubt that. Where are your sources? I've never heard this. Besides, anyone with a computer and a modem can have their own speed dialer, it doesn't take AT&T to speed dial. I'm inclined to believe this is fabricated hearsay.

  • To look at it another way, the kid's famous now, he'll be alright. Look at it on the bright side, he rose to the top, and by whatever means, he didn't win, that doesn't make him a loser.

  • First off nobody used a speed machine. 90% of cell phones can power text. There are directions on how to do it on one of ADAM"S fansites. Most contestants have fansites teaching people to do this. Secondly, how old are you, murder is illegal power texting is not.

  • are you from kriss home state

  • GAY AS HELL

    FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS!

  • amen brother. tell it like it is.

  • THANK YOU for this video! It's realistic, logical, makes sense, and isn't annoying. Some people like to spew all of their stupid ideas on this sort of video, but you've done a really good job of explaining your views!

  • There are clear indications that the vote has been manipulated on multiple occasions. With that said, this seems to be a case of a split vote (Danny & Chris's fans) coming together to support a similar style contestant. Neither of them have any commercial viability. Outside of AI fans, no one is going to buy their music. The "rocker" label is comical. Adam will get no mainstream (or alternative) rock traction. Most searched doesn't = platinum records.

  • It would be shocking if Adam sold 1/10 the albums that Chris Daughtry has. (currently 5 million & counting)

  • i wouldnt be jumping to conclusions mate... nothing is for sure... no matter the consequences... adam is an amzing musician and i wouldnt rule him out just yet

  • Ya Allen I have done the comparisons to other idols etc on other videos.. I think Adam will be huge.. I think he is different and many dont see how forward his sound is..

  • It's pretty obvious that this guy has NO concept of what modern rock is, You know damn well that his music collection consists of Britney Spears and Jonas Brothers.

  • lol funny you mention this.. considering that I like Adam yet you point out artists that are mainstream like Kris.. If the 80s are dead then so is every other era that is done on Idol.. secondly faggin it up.. are you listening to any new music out there? Oh wait I just checked out your channel NOW I get why youre clueless LOL sorry didnt mean to expect so much from you.. I apologize

  • Dude, you're a fucktard if you don't understand why Adam lost. He DESTROYED every classic song that he sang by "faggin-it-up" for morons like YOU. Dude, you are a TOOL, The 80's are DEAD!

  • Chris gave a concert in Arkansas, 2,000people showed up. Gee, that's less than the amount of people that showed up for Adam in NYC! LOL. Yeah, ADAM's the star alright. Chris will have his memories though. He's good and he will have a short-lived career, oh and his memories.

  • Comment removed

  • Where do you people get your information. I guess you are referring to the concert at UCA during the hometown visit. The place only seats 2000 and people were lined up 8-10 hours ahead of time to get tickets. Earlier in the day he performed in front of 18,000 in Little Rock. After the UCA concert he performed in downtown Conway in front of 20-25,000 . His hometown visit was the most attended in the history of Idol. Please, don't post without checking facts, otherwise you only show ignorance.

  • DUDE? _UCKTARD?TOOL?  Get an education, then you can write an intelligent statement like the "dude" made in the video. Oh, and then do your research before you comment (again like the "dude" in the video). On second thought, don't bother.

  • " Get an education, then you can write an intelligent statement "

    I already have an education. I notice you didn't dispute what my message said. You only nit-picked the terms I used. I'm not shocked a bit. Oh, and perhaps YOU should do research on what is popular in the music industry today. I'll give you a clue: It's NOT the 80's style of singing.

  • Adam is the winner in way bigger ways than idol... just watch.

    I love u Adam

  • F.Y.I. The population of Arkansas is 2.8 million. 38 Million votes came from Arkansas.  That equals approximately 10 votes per person (if everyone voted). ATT's "tutoring" and booth set-up for that event allowed people to power text ten votes with the push of one button. That adds up, doesn't it? That's OK Adam will have the last laugh. Oh and BTW, I spelled "there" [their] wrong in a previous entry. ADAM ROCKS!

  • Love the video and I agree with your insight. Adam has already proven he will be more successful than Chris. If it were not for Adam, Chris wouldn't even be a topic now. The only time I hear people mention Chris is when they say Adam was robbed. The US is also a joke overseas. Their are stations in other countries playing A and C's songs back to back and asking how the heck did Chris win.I feel for Chris cos he IS good.He just wasn't the best. ADAM ROCKS!

  • I'm a 51 year old republic christian conservative and an Adam fan. Don't refer to us as wanting Adam to lose. I know 2 other people who share my beliefs who also voted for Adam. I called for 5 hours (3 on my NY cellphone, 2 on my California cellphone) for Adam to win on the final competition and one of the others, 3 hours. We're angry Adam didn't win due to the sabotage that took place in Arkansas. At the end of the show it warns, block voting like that will be eliminated. What happened?

  • adam lambert is better than kriss alenn adam rocks!!

  • I'm gay ... and liberal ... and Adam is a stage performer.... he doesn't belong on the radio ... sorry

  • 2 problems with your opinion, 1 - Thats why there are various radito stations playing many different types of music, do you listen to all of them, all the time? 2 - People on the radio usually perform on stage as well, they make more off their live shows than they do their record sales.. didnt you know that?

  • 2 problems with your interpretation of my opinion - 1. American Idol winners are intended for Top 40 radio... American Idol is the WRONG place to go if you're trying to make it into anything other than Top 40 or Country ... 2. By the "stage" I mean theatre.

    Dig a little deeper when interpreting people's comments...

  • Regardless he didnt win.. so whats your point? Other contestants have moved onto successful careers surrounding music while still participating in music.. pop radio covers a LOT of genres.. Carrie Underwood won and she is a country artist who crossed over..you said top 40 then you said Top 40 or country so you must have been rethinking your response.. Taylor is not Top 40 nor is Fantasia yet they won

  • My point is that is that it makes sense that Kris won because he is more along the lines of what people look for in an "American Idol", down to earth, real, all-american, top 40.. blah blah blah. I'm not saying he was the most vocally talented but he definitely deserves the title of American Idol ... If it was a competition to find the best musical theatre star, Adam would have had it in the bag ... but it wasn't.

  • meh, Idol isnt looking for the best of the best anyway.. they simply pick the one that they like the most regardless of how talented they are.. its been like that season after season.. more talented people shine without the win and the winners that arent great just fade into obscurity.. Adam is by far the most popular in regards to popularity WHILE on the show, and I am sure he will have a lot of hit records.. radio play isnt what it was years ago, thats fading into obscurity as well

  • well I don't think hes going to do very well.... the only ones from the show whose careers are worth noting are Kelly, Carrie, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, and Jordin Sparks.... I may be missing a few but overrall... most contestants don't do very well afterwards... remember Bo Bice? Justin Guarini? The beatboxing guy that came second place when Jordin won? Katherine McPhee? Usually the runnner up just doesn't do well...

  • None of those even come close to the popularity platform that Adam has achieved. He has had more spots on TV and radio than Kris has, double the spots matter of fact. He has been asked to tour with Queen and do spots in movies already, I think you are comparing him to other contestants that arent anything like what he is. Did you do your research? He has been named as single-handedly saving the show in ratings this season. Being on Idol doesnt give anyone THAT much credit.

  • When Adam outsells and wins more awards than Kelly or Carrie, then we'll talk.

  • Sorry thats a typical response. You are saying he WONT, I believe he WILL yet you put off my opinion until he outsells them. Neither of us are right at the moment, its just our opinions, yet you are acting as if youre already right and I am just spouting off. I am not saying these things from random delusional concepts, I am stating some facts to help support my opinion of what may happen in his career. You are overlooking all of the things that point otherwise.

  • I disagree, but I respect your ideas. You are right about the runners up in past years, but Adam's talent is exceptional. He is already being sort out by the top record companies and people all over the world are downloading his songs and making a playlist so they can enjoy him until his first cd comes out. Adam attracts multi-generations, I am a 51 year old fan, my daughter, a 20 year old fan. I like his broadway songs, daughter likes Queen and his newer stuff. He's a winner!!

  • Again check your facts. Kris is still outselling Adam on itunes. Again, I like them both, I just can't stand when people spew misinformation on the internet. Adam isn't being persued by the top record companies, he's under contract with 19E for at least a year. It's easy to post lies and unchecked facts when you aren't held accountable for what you say.

  • oops,typo.Pursued

  • The reason Kris is outselling Adam on Itunes currently is because he won.. had the reverse happened Adam would have outsold Kris, doesnt take a genius to figure that out.. people jump on bandwagons.. they think "Oh Kris won, better get that new single!" Itunes isnt the final judge on record sales, its one portion of it. It comes down to consumer type and illegal downloads. If you search you will find most of the studio versions can be found free illegally online, thats not counted by itunes.

  • First off its not just the new single, Heartless has been ahead of anything Adam has done since sales became public. Secondly I'm sure you would not buy something just because someone won. You, just as I or anyone else, will buy who they like more. You can't deny Kris probably has a broader appeal than Adam. If your logic was true Taylor Hicks would have sold more than Daughtry. If you do a search on KAZAA more people are downloading Kris.

  • 1 - More pop appeal doesnt mean better, it just means that more braindead people will buy something because they SAY its good not because it IS good. 2 - Mad World check that single k? 3 - Adam has been on more shows and has done more live numbers across the board since the end of season 8 than Kris has, I wonder why? Oh.. because he is more interesting.. Kris is about as interesting as the grocery bagger @ my local Food Lion supermarket

  • I did, its Adams only single left on the top 100. Heartless has been ahead of it from the start. I understand that ou like Adam better, no crime in that. You probably don't like country music, I do, no crime in that either. AROD gets more pub than any other baseball player, do you think he is liked by more people than Jeter or Pujols? O'reilly has the highest rated news show, I'm sure you love him. Ratings are generated by people who do and say off the wall things.

  • I like all kinds of music country to jazz to heavey metal and there are more people who think adam sould have won. I dont think Kris should have even been in the final 2. It should have been danny and adam

  • You lose most of your cred by saying Danny " Let me butcher Aerosmith" should have been in the top 2. Danny should have went home rock week.

  • If you are calling me brain dead I would suggest you don't. I will promise you I have a better job, more money, a bigger house (if you don't live with your mom), a more advanced degree, and a Higher IQ than you. If you were as smart as you thought you wouldn't use Queen asking Adam to play a few shows with them as a measure of success. When was the last time they were relevant . I like Queen, but they have not mattered in a while. Typical liberal satement, I don't agree so I am braindead,lol.

  • Really it doesn't matter. I just can't stand people posting things as fact that they know nothing about. It is also annoying that people try to take away from Kris by saying he got Danny's votes. It is probably true to some extent, but I will assure you Adam was getting Allisons votes once she was eliminated. It doesn't take a genius to figure THAT out. Like I posted earlier based on FACT,Kris was the leading vote getter for the last 3 weeks.

  • Research research research.. there are plenty of FACTS regarding people that voted for Danny voting for Kris.. it was on the main page for Dannys church the nite of the show.. VOTE FOR KRIS.. so it wasnt a big secret I think you just want to believe otherwise

  • So would you deny that people who were voting for Allison were later voting for Adam?

  • I never said Kris didn't get any of Danny's votes, you just act like it is a big conspiracy. What is the difference in that and Adam getting Allison's votes. You have to know that I'm right on that. Kris WAS GETTING THE MOST VOTES BEFORE DANNY LEFT, I just don't think YOU want to believe otherwise. It was a blowout, it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

  • 19E?! That's the AI label and Simon Fuller controls that and gets all the royalties. That's exposure, but no big prize. Adam has record deals waiting for him to finish his tour with idol and people worldwide are waiting for his concerts. All you read is Adam, come to Australia, come to Europe, etc. Chris is already yesterday's news. It's stupid to debate this any further. You don't believe facts. You do the infantile "nu-uh..." thing and claim you;re rich and smart. I'm too smart to care.

  • Comment removed

  • No crap its the AI label. That's what I was saying, Adam can't sign with anyone else. 19E has the first right of refusal and they aren't going to let him go. Not only do I believe facts, I only post facts. You were the moron saying Kris only had 2000 at his concert, I posted the true facts. I also never said I was rich, but if you are questioning my intelligence one only has to look at your posts and mine to end all debate on that topic.

  • You contradicted yourself by saying you are too smart to care. By replying to my posts you showed that you do indeed care. If you read everything that I posted you would also have seen that I like Adam, I just prefer Kris. My point was that several people such as yourself post misinformation about Kris because of your bitterness at Adam's defeat. You don't have to be a crybaby and tear someone down to feel better about yourself. Its prettty immature for someone who claims to be 50+ years old.

  • imAoKay87 (2 days ago) well I don't think hes going to do very well.... the only ones from the show whose careers are worth noting are Kelly, Carrie, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, and Jordin Sparks.... I may be missing a few

    My, "I respect your ideas" comment I wrote earlier is for you. You may disagree with us but you are intelligent and I like reading your comments.

    I'm just learning to use this, so sometimes my entries don't go where I want them to.

  • There was a lady who was walking in the forest with her dog and was killed. If u r reading this, then u will find a dead bloody body hanging in ur closet. U will be haunted and killed by her. to stop it posti this to 6 other videos in 30 GOOD LUCK

  • Adam is the best contestant that has ever been on American Idol. His voice IS one of the best

    voices I have ever heard. He is the only one on

    Idol that deserved to win based on his vocal

    ability. Adam was robbed. If AT&T does not

    repair the damage it caused, like having this singing

    contest all over again, we should not watch American

    Idol again until something is done.

  • Doesn't matter. He's still gonna be a star.  It seems like the second place people always end up making more of their career than the winners. Adam was the better man, but they both win, really.

  • I completly agree with you! Especially when you said Kris is ordinary (not your exact words) and Adam is unique...

  • LOL the conservatives? Ahhaha what a joke are you kidding? I hold a lot of conservative views what does this have to do with talent? Adam can sing anything has the best vocal range and best performance--he literally commands the stage.

  • I just want to add some new info I just got. arricksreloaded.

    It was the University of Central Arkansas' Estes Stadium, with about 2,000 people in attendance.

    I haven't done the math yet - but this is NO small neighborhood party.

    Source: Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

  • Ya I feel there is more to the story.. it'll all come out before the summer I am sure..

    Had Adam won with people giving his party power texting tutorials they would have burned the roof off of Nokia Stadium, but since it was Kris.. well thats alright.

    Another thing I keep hearing is that they voted for Kris because he was more like Danny, guy next door role model..

    So does talent mean nothing? Not one of the people defending their jump voting has said they though Kris was more talented.. hmm

  • Yah, its high time the 'pulpit pounders' stop defining who our 'role models' are.

    Here's a little insight for all it's worth - I have compiled a fourteen page document of cases of xtian child abuse, taken from well known and reputable news articles around the country over the past couple years.

    They can put that in their 'moral' pipe and SMOKE IT.!

  • I am from Australia and I agree with you. You are a very talented guy and you express yourself really well. Its also refreshing to get away from the homophobia on you tube. I will be visiting USA again, great ambassador young man!

    I now clearly see there are not as many conservatives as one might think.

  • I thought adam was robbed. He is very talented. I think there was somthing fishy with the votes. Im from IL. and noone here liked Kris. They are all very shocked. I will look for Adams music and be buying it.

  • All I could think about through this whole vid E is "Doo Doo Brown! Doo Doo Brownnnnnn!"

  • LOL that song was the "shit".. get it? lol

  • Read NY Times article -

    "AT&T May Have Swayed Idol Results"

  • This is a hilarious theory. Of course Chris picked up Danny's votes, that's how it works every year, but it has nothing to do with conservatives having it out for Adam. The people who liked Danny originally, liked Chris second. I wouldn't blame it on the conservatives, I would blame on pre-teen girls.

    PS - the guy a few posts back made a good point. While conservatives come across as ones who suck the fun out of stuff, liberals come across as whiny babies...so true. (no offense)

  • Who is Chris? You mean Kris? Well liberals dont mind if people have it their way.. conservatives generally want everyone to do it their way.. .. no offense

  • Kris Fans had an unfair advantage when they were given free cells by AT&T employees and then taught how to submit 10 votes at a time by simply pushing one button (power text) which is against AI's voting rules!!!!

    Read The NY Times article:

    "AT&T May Have Swayed Idol Results"

    Signed an A politcal individual.

  • It was a small group of fans in Arkansas. Their votes were not enough to have changed the final result of Kris winning.

  • None the less "power texting" violates American Idol voting rules.
