I havent watched AI in 4 years but this year adam caught my eye. I voted my ass off for Adam and you ask any hardcore voter out there if they could even log 10 votes for him the first three hours of voting in their part of the country. All say the same thing..after 3 hours the lines magically opened up. Something was definitely up but it’s not going to change anything now. Except that AI goes back to a tv show I refuse to watch.

I truly believe Adam is better off with this result, as is Kris. I’ll buy both of their albums and can’t wait to see what they do in the years to come.

And as for people claiming Adam isn’t “out”. Adam has lived his life quite openly and in the very beginning when the pictures of he and his ex showed up all over the internet, he said “I am who am and I have nothing to hide but, this is about singing”. He’s not commenting on his personal life in the press and why should he have to? I don’t see them hounding the other contestants about their personal lives. Private and closeted are 2 completely different things IMO.

Adam on the other hand is the most talented singer the show has ever had….ever…and probably ever will

As far as losing goes for Adam…not a surprise…predictable from an American audience….

I thought it would come down to Danny, Allison and Adam but clearly people weren’t voting for the singing talent here. I also think Matt sings better than Kris as well. Actually I would put Kris as far as singing talent as far down as 8th in this competition.

I hope Adam has a true international recording career. Kris can a keep on a sangin’(if that is what one would call that noise) in Arkansas! Hee Haw!

Just for the demographic…I am a 47 year old white gay male physician who could sing Kris right off the stage without screaming and without a microphone.

WOW !!! Liam is that missing link they are all talking about.. between man and ape…Go Liam…. your thought process is still in the stone ages!!! I’m sure your kids are very proud of their Dad….. or not.. how old are they? Maybe you will get a surprise when they explore their sexuality….or maybe they will hide it from you, knowing how closed minded you are.
Keep your fingers crossed bro..better yet, don’t breed. :P

I would buy a ticket to an Adam Lambert concert, way before I would think of spending any money on any of the other top 10.
I love going to concerts ,am frequently in front row mosh pit,and thought Kris was cute, but Adam Lambert is so much more.
I think he lost (barely) for several reasons, and I don’t think the loss will hurt him one bit. Is he clearly the better Idol..let’s let the c.d. sales and tour results speak for themselves. Teen girls my crush and vote for someone, but it rarely means they will spend money on tickets, and give ongoing support long term. This is where Adam will come out the clear winner.

Goodluck to Kris Allen and Adam Lambert!

Why don’t you just go back to your tits and ass site and leave the gays alone? No one asked you for your dumb, two-cents worth.

And just for your information, homosexuality DOES occur within all of the animal kingdom. It’s a documented fact.

Do some research before you shoot your ignorant mouth off and maybe you won’t come off looking like such an a–hole the next time you troll for semi-nude, male pics here.

you’re an idiot.

that is all.

Nevertheless, the bottom line blame goes to the creators of American Idol, they are only interested in making money off their voting system. If they were truly interested in having the best contestant win, they should only allow one vote per phone number.

Instead, they allow one person to vote several hundred times. Moreover, the religious yahoos had a three-hour start on the voting, than those on the west coast. Most viewers do not understand that they can start voting at 9 PM EST, which is the same as 6 PM PST. For those that do not know, American Idol is not live in the west coast, it is a recording.

It is too bad that people will never stop judging others… Let me think… Christians… “What would Jesus, do?” For all one knows, Jesus might have been bisexual. After all, there is no record of him ever been married.

Kris comes across as a good person, but even he is in disbelief. Oh, well that is what we get for being addicted to karaoke show.

Ruben Studdard?
Taylor Hicks?
Jordin Sparks?
Fantasia?

nuff said. The place to finish is 2nd-4th. You get the exposure without any of the “idol” stereotyping.

i’ll say again: regionalism. arkansas voted 38 million times. it wasn’t some grand rejection of the AI producers, as clay suggests.

Don’t be mad that he doesn’t like Adam’s singing. There are millions of people who agreed with him including a lot of people in this thread.

First, he mentioned Tamyra. Who didn’t make the top 3. I loved Tamyra but America got it right, then he shouldn’t use Tamyra as an example.

2nd, I think, while it was clear the judges loved Adam, they also loved Gorkey. You can’t really blame the judges.

I also love Ring of Fire and thought it was cool.

I usually am behind Clay but not this time. I think he’s just plain wrong.

i think clay might be a leeetle jealous that he’s no longer AI’s most prominent queen.

and while he has a valid point, you have to understand that when you hire judges… they’re going to judge. they liked adam better. arkansas clearly disagreed (casting 1/3 of total votes). but no one complained during x-factor when the judges fawned over leona lewis, who was clearly superior to her competition.

kris won, fair and square. but that doesn’t mean that he’s better, or more deserving than someone who has dedicated their life to studying performance. a better question for clay might be: should we reward talent, or is this competition better titled “hometown hero?”

Again, what’s more important: marriage equality and the repeals of DOMA and DADT, or who wins American Idol?

When we start to support the ones we have in the public eye instead of “gay icons” like Madonna (blechhh).

When is a gay person actually going to WIN?

Perhaps when people stop making such a big fucking deal about a person’s sexuality when deciding whether or not they should succeed…?

It proves that gay people never come out on top. In the movie Philadelphia, Andrew Beckett is the hero of the movie, but he dies in the end. In American Idol, Adam Lambert made it to the end of the season, but he lost in the end. When is a gay person actually going to WIN?

I said it in a serious manner. I mean, if he doesn’t feel the need to support a fellow gay person in the biggest contest in U.S. television history, why would he feel the need to support a gay candidate for President?

Fuck you. Really. Gay people have lost for far too long. It’s time for us to actually WIN.

Considering you betrayed the gay community this time, does that mean you’ll betray us again when a gay candidate for President comes up in the next 30 years?

In a world where Constitutional rights are being taken away and kids like Lawrence King are getting murdered just for being gay, THIS is where we focus our outrage? It’s a game show, people. Let’s move on to things that really matter.
