  • lol ... lil rounds i remember her ...

  • feel sorry for every one that competed against Adam that year. the face the eyes plus a personality. just not fair.

  • Great Simon :)

    But yeah ,the video title should be changed :P

    Watched this only for Adam but saw many other idiots in there :/

  • Comment removed

  • Everyone knows that Adam was the real winner not Kris. I love Kris but Adam is friggin amaaaazing! And even though he got second he is more famous than Kris is.

  • Note to YOUTUBE: Please shove your adds as far up you collective ass as possible.

  • Yeah!!!! My man does such an amazing job! Love you Adam!

  • this show is so damn political it's vomit-inducing...

  • honestly American Idol was way better with simon they had more open minds. but now its kinda more closed minded :/

  • Memoriess<3 I miss Simon !!

  • 5 million already! Last time I checked ( not long ago) it was at almost 2 mil.

  • I stoped watching AI when Simon left, now it's just the same thing over and over. No one is original anymore. Personally, I think Adam was the last great thing to come from it. I saw who one this past year and I honestly don't like him, or the runner up. I was disapointed. But hey, people still watch it and people, think that kid was good, so be it.

  • Danny Gokey will be at a FREE event November 18 in Treasure Island on the beach, if anyone is interested, just google "2011 Treasure Island Sanding Ovations", you'll find it right away - IT'S FREEE!!

  • @vhplatinum obrigado

  • not the best clip, took forever to load then adam was in it for five seconds lol

  • Aww! I remember Lil Rounds. xD

  • @halabrdave it was only special because ramdy and paula are nice and so were the newer judges. Simons always critiqueing everylitte thing and is overall just mean most of the time. So the fact he gave a standin ovation is good because its rare for him not the show

  • mmm there was a time where this was somehow a big deal but it really doesn't mean anything anymore. I wonder if Simon would've stood up this season but Jacob got one, Pia got one, Casey got two, Haley got four. David Cook got one from Randy. Paula didn't even stand up and she stands up for everything. Is it so special to get it from Simon? it's cooler if you get it from Steven Tyler!

  • This may be disregarded or shrouded by other messages, but I have a deep belief that someone will take the time to unveil our hopes and dreams. We are a group of siblings (ages 15, 13, & 9) trying to create a name for ourselves. We did covers of Mad World, Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, Don't You Remember, Grenade, Jar of Hearts, Price Tag, & I'm Yours. We hope that the person who finds this views our channel. If you do find this, thumbs up to show your support! We love Adam's VOICE!

  • Should have always been these 4 judges

  • Matt G. is from my town! This girl that i've known my whole life is best friends with him and auditioned for american idol with him but she didn't make it. But i love Adam so much!!!!! so beautiful

  • Matt Gokey made his own song called "Bubble Tweet" I wanna buy it! lol

    watch?v=L-RrfeHL_8g

  • Wow seeing these singers, thank for Adam, that season was all Adam. They all suck, and Adam just shone, tbh Adam in any season would shine, he's the best they produced

  • I really liked Matt Girard a lot and of course Adam, but too bad Matt didn't make it to the end!

  • Ok when I clicked on this video I expected to see a bit more of Adam right away, not after ten other singers, and yeah maybe more of his perfomance too? Just a thought

  • Lol.. i used to record every episode of this series just so I could skip forward to Adam's perfomances >_>

  • Simon Cowell is SHIT, a dumbass... i don't even know what he did for being a judge on IDOL, but without him is SO MUCH BETTER!

  • @DynamiteHeart99 he was and is the best at what he does. Anytime he was the one to recognize talent they went far because he was right from the get go.

  • I still want to know how Adam Lambert didn't win...that's a serious balls-up right there!

  • @Hanaargh1 I know!!

  • @InuKagndWolfsRaingrl Pathetic! I got more involved with American Idol than any of the X Factor's over here!

  • beganing:whats a standing O?

    Ending:ohhhhh ok

  • adam lambert by far killed kris allen, but idol has got it wrong since season 7 and season 5 oh what a train wreck

  • Just hasn't been the same without Simon :(

  • kris over adam? wow

  • Tinfoil hats required for this thread. Rupert Murdoch is out to eat your children, apparently.

  • UGGGHHH GOSH ADAM! I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!!!!<3

  • I don't even remember who won lol... was it kris? He must not have sold very well.

  • It's kind of weird how I searched for this clip, and the related videos are about dudes getting arrested in women's bathing suits and Sea World Dolphins dying...

  • @boomsukka god and/or allah? You know god and allah are one in the same right it is a common misconception what with them having different names and all... Also those of muslim faith also believe in jesus as well soo get learned

  • Simon giving standing ovations became a joke on the X Factor when he always gave one to Danyl Johnson everytime he performed, and he was the only judge standing too. But stiil, on Idol was Adam the only who got one?

  • @chuggggggy yes on idol he was the one and only who gets a standing ovation from simon

  • ppl keep bashing kris, but you can't deny he had talent. it's just that adam was the musical genius and should've won.

  • Adam had an outstanding performance with this song......but, Simon has to point out that he is giving a standing ovation (usually, one just gives the ovation). Simon likes to think he can sway people, but he can't.

  • Allison's voice is amazing!!!! wow..

  • Comment removed

  • Adam Lambert-the last true talent that show ever displayed-btw that show sucks big time now.

  • Adam Lambert is an amazing singer, whereas Kris was mediocre.

  • allison iraheta has the voice like kelly or pink ;)

  • Thumb's up If you think this was Adam's best performance on Idol!!

  • my least favoret song that wuz sang that night wuz true color i luv the song hated the way that he sang it though!

  • I think Kris won because whether or not adam Lambert won or lost, he would still have a carreer after this show. He lost, he still has a great carreer, and so does Kris. Thanks to this show.

  • How did that Kris person win over Adam? I mean for real? Adam beyond talented and Kris is "meh"

  • I see a bunch of videos on my right entitled 'Adam is gay'... that's apparently enough of a shocker to make many click on the damned things. Meanwhile, people still go on about god and/or allah and it makes you wonder why people seem to think they get some things some of the time while other things never enter into their conciousness. I suppose Adam is gay and Jesus reigns supreme and Allah is still waiting while his people sell oil. Sorry for the rant! Play minecraft lol

  • I SOOO HOPE ADAM GOES ALL THE WAY. HE IS ONE OF A KIND.CONCERTS ALL OVER COME ON!!!!

  • Amazing hes Adam's totally :D!!!!

  • awesomness caz ive never seen simon give anyone a standing 'o'

  • YEAH BITCH, THATS HOW ITS DONE!!!

    GO ADAMM!! ERRRR LOOOOVVEEEE YYYYOOOUUUUU

  • What's the song called that Adam is singing?? My mom used to play that song alot and I would loooooove to know what it is.

  • @XxLiveToSingxX Mad world 

  • @XxLiveToSingxX Mad World by Gary Jules

  • singing yoyo......

  • JRskatr is so right

  • Simon sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life, or you will get shot.

  • Red head looks like Brittany Murphy.

  • Simon SHOULD be back to American Idol....!! Purely innately true Criticism. Bravo!

  • Ahhh best AI contestant of all time....OF ALL TIME.

  • Danggg simon xD aha i swear he made the show

  • judges underrated Lil Rounds ..she's clearly better than anyone there... wtf

  • I remember Danny! I think the reason Kris won is because the majority of Danny fans went to being Kris fans. But all three are excellent

  • DanyL Johnson would sing that fag under the freaking table!

  • @VoiceOfReezun Not exactly being the voice of reason are you? After all, your Danyl Johnson is gay, too.

  • @Tianguo2012 I don't dislike Adam because he's gay, I dislike him because he's a pompous, arrogant fuck! DanyL is allegedly bi-sexual, but I don't care about that, he's an embraceable personality, Little fun loving cat who's easy to like; not so much with Adam, IMHO.

  • @VoiceOfReezun Interesting that you perceive Adam to pompous and arrogant. Many people perceive him to be quite the opposite. Frankly, I expect only great performances from artists in the limelight ... personal and family dysfunctions are far more common among great entertainers than most people realize ... there is a lot of pain behind most of the ambition that drives men to greatness (i.e., as the world understands greatness).

  • @VoiceOfReezun If you don't care if he was gay, why did you bring that up?

  • @VoiceOfReezun Dude not even close danyl has no voice he's just a good performer.

  • I wonder what Simon (the great) would say about Jacob Lusk's voice?

  • woow, wooow, a praise from Simon himself... :O you got to be really good to deserve that...

  • HE is so HOT!! darn it

  • His screaming is terrible !!!!

  • @rbrb1558 If you're saying Adam's screaming is terrible, your opinion is valid only if in principal don't like or just can't handle musical screaming. If not, and you are comparing Adam's signature wail to other pop & rock artists, then you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Professional opera singers & critics happen to think that Adam Lambert is an incredible virtuoso and extremely versatile.

  • @Tianguo2012 Then what i said is valid (: Mhm.... Its just annoying as FUCK !!!!!

  • Oh..so this is how love feels...

    Only in this "Mad World" can it be a possibility that Adam didn't win.

    But its actually better that way..we can just tell fox to suck it up and yell " IN YO FACE"...AND feel even MORE proud♥

  • i really liked Scott, what happened to him?!

  • Adam Lambert's the real American Idol of Season 8.

  • This video starts at 1:43. The rest of it is useless.

  • When the world's most famous judge says Kris's performance was forgettable and then gives a standing ovation to Adam's performance, it's quite clear who was the best person was and who should have won the competition. Fox just hates gay people plain and simple.

  • @JRskatr sooooooo totally freakinn' true ! stupid, ignorant homophobes >:/

  • @JRskatr <-- 101% I agree with U!!!

  • @JRskatr im pretty sure Fox has no control over who got more votes

  • @Triggerblame Lol aww how naive you are my friend... Is it really that hard to tell Ryan Seacrest to read the card and say "Kris Allen" even if Adam got more votes? Think about it dude...

  • @JRskatr ok, they wouldn't do that. How naive you are to think that Fox is going to rig the votes on their most popular show, just because the person that actually won goes against what the producers and owners of Fox believe in. That would just be stupid on their part and cause them to lose viewers

  • @JRskatr besides, it's not all about who has more talent, it's who's more popular. Kris Allen probably won because of all the anti-gay people in america. Don't call me naive when you don't know anything about me, that's ignorant.

  • @Triggerblame Ok I'll give you that I don't know you, and it's might not be the most likely for Fox to rig the votes, but it's definitely possible. When you're dealing with millions of dollars, anything goes not just votes. If the people in charge of the record deals thinks Kris Allen will sell more records, they'll make sure that he wins, period. I guess sexuality won't have anything to do with it in that case, but it's still possible, people in charge of Fox are known to be conservative...

  • @JRskatr i realize Fox's conservative background...I know it's definitely possible, but I still think that if they did "rig the votes" in some way, the rest of the world would know, especially since liberal presses would be all over it. and if that got out, the show's ratings would plummet, Fox isn't that stupid to take that risk. and like i said before, I think Kris won because of all the Americans that disagree with homosexuality, therefore disagree with Adam, even if he did have more talent.

  • @JRskatr ...what an ignorant statement. "Fox just hates gay people plain and simple"

  • @pop30sed Sometimes the truth hurts...

  • @JRskatr Very True! and look at Kris now compared to Adam-no where to be seen. Lets just say that it was good for Kris that he won because he would have had absolutely NO chance making it like how Adam did, if he didnt win. Yep, Adam is just awesome. love him ..

  • @JRskatr with all respect to your opinion ! that wasnt the last episode/voting !!remember the last song kris and adam did it was more suitable for chris's voice and he killed it .. im not saying that chris is better than adam i would be out of my mind if i said that !im just saying that chris just happend to get more votes on the last episode .. people sometimes forget that its a voting competition not a who is better competition !!and i dont think that fox didnt made him win because adam is gay

  • @JRskatr If you went to the AI season tour, there was no doubt as to who the favorite and real winner was that year. The producers decide the winners based on beats me. Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry, and now James Durbin are proof of that. As long as we are the ones spending the money, what they do doesn't really matter. Ultimately we are the ones playing their music, buying their stuff, so guys rock on. WE LOVE YOU, and by the way Adam can move better than anyone.  So sexy, to all.

  • @JRskatr  It's really best that he didn't win though. The contract he would have been stuck in wouldn't have turned out as well as that which I'm sure he has now :)

  • @JRskatr If he got the ovation one time, it doesn't make him a winner - consistency makes a winner.

  • @wizardica And also it's important who votes :D

  • @wizardica Yeah, and Adam was consistently better than Kris. You can't disagree with that cmon dude lol. Don't get me wrong Kris had some great performances, but Adam clearly had more of those than Kris. But it's all good both guys are talented and deserve to sell lots of records. :)

  • P.S. is this only men contest? It's so obvious that only teenage girls vote

  • @JRskatr it depended on the other weeks as well.

  • @JRskatr correction: a lot of the shows viewers are in the south . . . where gay people aren't popular

  • @JRskatr America voted...nuff said.

    

  • @aiofromthehood Lol yeah. They "voted."

  • @JRskatr THIS is so fucking true.

  • @JRskatr , well Ive yet to see or hear Chris after Idol...so FOX probably did Adam a favor ~ look who we are listeniing to and watching

  • u are sow right!!! i did' t even knew the other guy!!!!! im from a lost country ;))) im suprise to see Adam did't win the contest, but anyway his the one we are listening and he is unbelivebel,great singer!!!!!

  • @JRskatr lol i did forget about Kris Allen... i was trying to remember all the winners and named Adam instead of Kris...HA! oops.

  • @JRskatr Don't be stupid. This clip happened weeks before the final vote. One good performance does not a winner make. I don't deny Adam is good, but to blame Fox with being homophobic because Adam lost is asinine.

  • @kimcnw I'm not being stupid sorry to say. I'm not sure if I already replied to you but the people that control Fox definitely hate gays I would bet, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to deny Adam the title if they want. They have a lot of power my friend do you think they care what people think of how they feel towards gay people? Don't be stupid.. ;)

  • @JRskatr Fox? No. The American public? Apparently.

  • Comment removed

  • @www00800www That's maybe possible, but Clay Aiken lost to Ruben Studdard, and he was white and Ruben was black. I would guess that America woulda voted more for Clay as he was the better singer and was white, but maybe Fox blocked that because he was gay? I'm just saying it's possible.

  • @JRskatr Yeah, possible...with a tinfoil hat firmly on head.

  • @www00800www Lol. I'm just stoked I have a top comment! That never happens lol. I guess some people agree with me! :)

  • @JRskatr It wasn't Fox that caused Adam to lose. If you re-check what happened it was A.T.& T. that did it by fixing the vote for Kris as anyone from his home state that voted for Kris it counted as ten instead of one plus they even gave out phones for Kris's voters. AT&t Even Admitted they did this and no-one did anything about it. Later it was anounced that after adjusting Kris's 10 for 1 illegal votes that Adam won by over 15 million votes but Fox could do nothing about it as AT&Tsponcers it.

  • @bmxshowtime you have a link to a valid source for this statement

    ???

  • @bmxshowtime what? That's soooo....ugh!! damn them >.<

  • @JRskatr Actually Simon may be famous which is fine for a jerk who lived with parents into his 30's and obviously had a mother who though he excreted ice cream, but the reason the American vote came in for Kris, is a little thing called auto dial, which his fans, and the population of Arkansas used multiple times each.

    Adam had already outgrown Idol when he auditioned. The proof is his career now. Liberace, obviously gay in a time when tolerance for gays was zero made it. Elton says hi also.

  • Respond to this video... What as ass you are, Simon. No wonder Paula started drinking. Geez.

  • @Mark6024 Christmas is right around the corner ! Please dont fall into the trap! Search " IS Christmas Satanic Or Christian Poem! " It will blow your mind ,If you are Deep?

  • i waiting to the end of the video to see that shm

  • Yep. Kris Allen is boring and forgettable. ADAM LAMBERT on the other hand! Gets a standing ovation!!! :D Kris F***ING Allen should not have won. Douche bag.

  • Adam Lambert and Siobhan magnus is the Best on I dol EVER! !

  • An amazing talent but totally derailed his career. This man should have been the next Elvis in popularity. The new king of pop. Not that it should matter at all that he is gay, but hitting your audience over the head raw, gay sexuality and over the top lewdness just subtracted his audience to a small percentage of what could have been. Image really does matter. I hope he gets it back because I am still in awe of his vocals.

  • Adam Lambert. <3 Got the one and only Standing Ovation from Simon, in all of the seasons. Adam is the only Idol ever to come back and mentor, Adam is the first American Idol to get over 1,000,000 twitter followers. I can safely say, Adam Fucking Lambert, IS THE BEST AMERICAN IDOL EVER, AND I LOVE HIM SO SO MUCH. <3

  • LOL i love simon

  • "STanding O" haha

  • adam lambert is at 1:44.

  • that was the worst american idol ever. all of those ppl that season sucked ass

  • @GoGurt102102

    What do you suck, Dick?

  • this gay sucks!=)

    

  • @MsZhannah your mothers cunt sucks.

  • /watch?v=XDYR0hoRNfI

  • Aww, I keep forgetting that blind dude(Scott).

    I loved the entire top three. And Im not picking sides between Adam and Kris, both are awesome :3

  • the bottom line is Adam makes more money than kris who?

  • cut the craps...ADAM LAMBERT is the best!!
