I cannot believe Kris Allen won American Idol. I am sick about it! Adam Lambert has more talent in his pinkie than that lopsided mouth kid ever dreamed of having. 6 of the 8 winners have come from the South. I really wish redneck homophobes and teeniebopper girls would quit hijacking the vote!

Adam Lambert has more talent in his pinkie than that lopsided mouth kid ever dreamed of having. 6 of the 8 winners have come from the South. I really wish redneck homophobes and teeniebopper girls would quit hijacking the vote! After watching the finale of "Dancing with the Stars", and saw that Shawn Johnson, the 16-year-old gymnast win over Guille - the obviously more talented, mature and technical dancer, I knew the teen girls had hijacked the voting lines. Then I got to thinking......this will happen on American Idol, too. Adam Lambert will probably - no WILL be, the most talented artist to grace the AI stage. He's mesmerizing to watch. There's no doubt he will be around long after Kris makes an album or two - that will have few sales. Kris was a good singer, and he tried his hardest, but he doesn't have the pipes nor the staying-power of Adam's talent. I can imagine an elaborately staged show in Vegas for him. He'll do just fine as the 2nd place finisher on Idol.

I agree. Adam will go on to be way more successful than Kris will. Honestly, this will allow Kris to have some monitary success as well. Adam has a huge career ahead of himself either way. Let Kris have his ten minutes of fame and make some cash for himself. The way I look at it, it's a win win for both whereas if Adam had won, who knows.

The second and third place winners of past AI shows have been way more successful than some of the actual first-place winners.

Yeah, I think second place is actually better. Adam's free to do whatever he wants now, while Kris is stuck in a contract where he may not be able to do exactly what he wants.
I mean.. look at Chris Daughtry... I never even heard anything from whoever won over him (Taylor Hicks was it? I don't remember). *shrugs*
As my uncle said, Adam will probably get picked up by some rock band now.. I do think he was better than Kris though.. my family was biased though because some of them live close to Conway and I think they just wanted an Arkansan to win.

Actually the top 3 all get contracts maybe it is 4 Think Daughtry was what number 5 and just missed out out on losing 45% of all income to that damn brit because it is his company that manages them. it really sucks for all the top acts on AI. They all get signed to some dumbass contract and I know of only one person to get out of it and that was Kelly K. I think Taylor Swift is the only other one with the clout to get out of it

Taylor Swift was on American Idol? Guess I missed that season of the show.

Oh.. I didn't know the top 3 (or 4) got contracts. Well then... that kinda sucks.
