Adam loses to Kris on Idol...reminiscent of anything?
Shasta542:
All of this: IMO
Adam never improved. WHY? Because he was perfect from the very beginning. I mean TOTALLY PERFECT. He was already in a league above each and every one of the others. He was also quite gorgeous---look at his smile.
The audience saw Kris (cuter than cute Kris) "becoming". They took the trip with him, and it endeared him to people.
I was stunned that Kris won, and I cried because I was happy for him, but I cried because I really think that Adam deserved it so much too. It was very confusing because I was rooting for both of them.
They became good friends and either one would have been happy for the other. Genuinely. Adam was happy for Kris.
They both seem like super nice guys. They'll both do great and they'll both get a recording contract.
Plus---they both got a 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid. ;D

Adam Lambert
Kris Allen

The two AI finalists together. Adam is really tall. He was taller than everyone else on the show.

I really don't think his sexual orientation is an issue here. But we'll really never know.

Here's what the New York Times has to say, FWIW:
--- Quote ---It’s possible that “American Idol” viewers’ selection of Kris Allen over Adam Lambert says something about the mood and mores of the country, that viewers are too conformist to anoint a sassy, androgynous individualist. Then again, maybe not: Mr. Allen’s victory may merely reflect the voters’ conventional taste in pop music.
The choice of Mr. Allen, revealed during the two-hour finale on Fox on Wednesday night, wasn’t a breakthrough decision, even if a record 100 million votes were cast. The winsome Mr. Allen sings well, but he sounds like a lot of other good singers. Mr. Lambert, who tops his singing with a soulful screech somewhere between the blues and a smoke alarm, was like no one else.
