Yeah….Kris inherited all of Danny’s middle America votes. They are both talented in different ways so I don’t have a problem with the outcome. They will both get record deals and get their shot in the business.
I completely agree with you.
it was all those little 12yr old girls out there in america voting
a million times, cause they don’t know what true talent is,
but don’t worry, adam will end up being even more famous then kris,
just watch. he doesn’t need american faggot idol to become famous.
I’m really bummed but Adam will be okay.
I was in total shock! I really didn’t see that one comming!
absolutely !! It was all those little teenagers who just thought hoe "cute" Kris is….poor ADAM deserved that Glory
To tell you honestly, it was just the HYPE from the media saying how good Adam is. He’s OVERRATED to tell you the truth. Yeah, he can sing, but he has to scream on every performance to make it seem special.
I’m so GLAD that KRIS ALLEN won! He was more genuine and soulful than Adam. That’s the kind of music people would love to hear, when the singer connects to the listener. That’s what made Kris Allen the real winner.
If Adam won, it would be okay. But I’m so glad that a person like Kris won. Congrats to him. And for all the Adam fans, deal with it. Kris Allen is the WINNER of AI 2009!
because after Danny left, his fans (most of whom hated Adam because they saw him as Danny’s main competition, how ironic) couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Adam and voted for Kris, who is much more like Danny than Adam is.
All of us who love Adam should take a cue from him and be gracious. Time will show who the real star is, and Adam knows that. Adam was very gracious, saying in interviews that he knew it would be close and that Kris is a highly talented artist. If Adam is okay with it, I can be too.
Because Danny had a ton of fans, and when he got voted off, Kris got all his voters. Think about it – if they were voting for Danny all that time, Adam was not the type of artist they were into. Even though he’s really good, just not their style.
OK I was shocked not bummed. But obviously Adam did need American Idol to be famous because he has performed in shows and had a record deal. But does it matter that he didn’t win you know he’ll get a contract.
I understand what you are saying about that…but if you look at the past, the underdog has always come out on top…that’s just the way it is. So Adam might not have one, but somebody will pick him up && we will be hearing from him VERY SOON!!!
There are several reasons why kris won.
1st, Chris does have talent, just in my opinion, not nearly as much as Adam however, Adam being gay really hurt him.
Im sorry to say it but Americans are still very homophobic and the conservatives and the Christian groups were lobbying strongly against Adam.
Also, when Danny got voted off, his votes had to go somewhere. Danny was very conservative and those voting for him probably felt more in common with Kris than Adam and thus voted for Kris. I dont think it was very close.
I hate to say it, I love AI but its really much more of a popularity contest than a measure of true talent.
Adam will be ok and his comments in defeat were very gracious. Im sure they will both do ok but I see Kris fading away in 6 months while Adam will be popular for years.
Just my opinion.
I think a number of factors were at work here:
1) Danny got voted off, and the majority of Danny’s voters may have transferred their votes to Kris.
2) Some people tune in just for the finale week, and some of these added voters may be from the more conservative Midwest and Southern states.
3) Speaking of geography – Kris is from the Midwest (Arkansas) and that voting block may have helped him out in the finale.
4) Kris seems to be more humble, and America like famous people who are humble.
5) America may be ready for a black president, but not ready for a gay American Idol.
6) Those 12-year-old girls really dig Kris, and they’re a big voting block.
7) Entertainment Weekly jinxed Adam by doing a cover story on him 2 weeks ago, and mentioning his sexual preference on the COVER, causing a backlash.
I agree that Adam was the better singer AND better entertainer, but other factors were clearly at work. Only time will tell if America made the right choice.
He won because he has like an amazing voice! and adam is like a screaming kinda dude, don’t get me wrong but he song one or two good songs, but i love the way kris Allen’s voice is!
I have NO idea why he won he really shouldn’t have he sucks! Adam is like a million times better and yeah it was all those 10 year olds voting for him cause they THINK his cute….I want a re-count on those votes.
Idk he’s not that good of a singer to me.
He won cause’ of a huge fanbase, and he is REALLY talented. Don’t get me wrong Adam is AMAZING! Okay, so I did vote for Kris. He is amazing. and to haters, don’t be mean. Kris is my favorite!
~:-)
For those ppl that think Kris won just because he is cute and got votes from young girls. YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. Nobody cares who is better Kris or Adam. We vote for who we like and for me I don’t like to listen to Adam sings. I don’t care if he is rock-god or judges’ favorite. It’s always nice to listen to Kris sings and I love his voice. PEOPLE LOVE KRIS and that is why he won the show. The numbers of votes were NOT even close. GO KRIS!
its all a set up.
- Close minded people that hate homosexuals.
- Danny fans.
- 10 year olds.
Adam will win in the long run when his music out sells Kris by miles.
I tell you why that monkey face Allen win American Idol,
1.) all the stupid 12-year olds dont know TALENT.
2.) All Danny Gokey Fans made a huge mistake in the history for rooting Kris.
3.) Voters focused more on looks/personality and are racist with Gay People.
4.) Adam’s is AWESOME but he SCREAMS TOO MUCH in his songs without Control.
5.) People doesn’t appreciate and know the true Genre of ROCK MUSIC.
5.) Kris is more Humble,innocent-handsome Looking.
Kris is just another Shitty Idol who doesn’t have much originality and he’d bad at singing high notes .He’s just another average singer who’s fame wont even last a month.
What i’m happy is that ADAM LAMBERT will CONQUER Broadway and he will be a ROCK GOD and A STAR LEGEND.He will be remembered and I’ll DEFINATELY Have his CD’s in my ipod.
That’s It,I’m done with the show for GOOD .American Idol is now a popularity contest not a Talent Competition.
ADAM LAMBERT all the way baby….TO ME,he’s the American Idol.
Kris has talent and I’m glad he won point blank.
I don`t know. I didn’t watch it. I just wanted him 2 win!
because the majority of America is deaf.
And contrary to what other people were saying about Danny’s voters wanting Kris to win – I was a huge fan of Danny. Absolutely loved him, and voted for him every week. But I love Adam as well – honestly what I wanted to happen was for those two to be the finalists, then I would have been happy with either one winning. But I think even Anupe Desai deserved that win more than Kris.
