OMG Kris won? holy smokes I didn't see that coming at ALL

wow

but tonight was the BEST finale show EVER. Rod Stewart was on... I LOOOOOOOVE him

[Taz_Zoee]

That was awesome!! I can't believe I was right so long ago about who would win. I must say I'm proud of myself. LOL I never predict these things.....EVER!!

I'm speechless. Goodbye American Idol. Hello So You Think You Can Dance.

I always watch the beginning (it's so funny) skip the middle shows and watch at the end. I am glad Kris won. The judges were really hoping for Adam and I feel that was wrong to pick a favorite and be so vocal about it. Adam a great singer no doubt has the looks which I believe pre-teens go for. He is flashy. Hard to miss. I got a vibe from him in the beginning that he might be gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that!!!!!
But again I think his fan base is young girls. He looks to me a bit like Eddie Munster (does anyone remember that show) add 40 years and 40 lbs and he reminds me of Liberace.

When Adam goes into Fabulous hysterics during his numbers was my big clue.
Anyway he is the superior singer, and should have won.
(I would have given Kris no higher than 7th place)

I remember Eddie Munster, but we've been calling Adam:

"Adam's family Lambert" for quite some time.

Best performance of the season was his Ring of Fire! (in the phrygian mode)

I did too as did many people. I read somewhere that Kris got Danny's votes because they were both Christian wholesome types.
What a bunch of homophobes.... sorry but I am being a sore loser.
I think Adam should have won... and I agree I think there were many others that were voted off that had much better vocals than crooked mouth Kris. :P

[RedHedd]

What a bunch of homophobes....

ITA. I'm kinda shocked to read that here, but then I don't participate on PT as much as I used to before.

So what if Adam is gay or bi or whatever, he's a terrific performer and he had my vote from the beginning. I'm even planning to go to the AI concert just to see him before he get really big - and he will.

[beeniesmom]

Let me clarify... (and, please, if you quote me, you should quote the whole post, not just 5 words) I think many people voted for Kris because they really saw him as the better contestant but others voted for Kris because they didn't approve of Adam's (supposed) lifestyle. I'm not calling anyone names here of course ... I was just generalizing. Sorry if I offended anyone.

I only watched the show once this season and that was for a couple performances last night. I agree, Adam should have won. Either way, I can see both making something of themselves. I say they both won to see who they performed with last night!

YES! It starts tonight!! We'll have to start a new thread for it.

I also hope America did not not vote for Adam because of his sexual preference. That doesn't have a darn thing to do with how well you can or can't sing. There are rockers that are/were gay. Freddie Mercury from Queen. Another band that I can't think of the name of right now. And I'm sure there are plenty out there that haven't admitted to it because they are afraid of how they will be accepted. That's just sad.

Anyway, I'm glad Kris won.

I forgot to mention how painful it was to watch Megan Joy last night. OMG!!! It was like being tortured.

There were so many of those contestants that sang so much better than Kris for sure!!! I just can't see Kris turning into a mega talent. The girls will buy his CD's but can it last??

I really liked Meagan... until she kind of gave up. Now every time I see her.. she looks like she's just going through the motions. Its sad.

I agree with you about Kris.
