Lambert never won Idol, because more people voted more for Kris Allen. It really is that simple.

At this point in time, who cares? To me the result is in the pudding and 11 years later the outcome favored the most talented which was Adam. Kris was a very nice homegrown kind of guy and he sang well, but obviously not a star. I agree with RC's assessment of the situation and I believe there was more than a bit of homophobia. Solid conservative people seeing Adam kissing his BF on his Fox show did not do him any favors at all. Nowadays it wouldn't raise any eyebrows, but back then it was quite a surprise. It is amazing the strides that have been made for gay people in a little over 10 years, which is a very good thing!

Hmmm, has Kris ever performed in Vegas? Or Japan? Or Australia? Or London? Or Paris? Or Finland? Or Moscow? Or Chins?

And, by the way, those are the places where Adam has performed as a solo artist and not just with QAL.
Who is Lewis Capaldi? Is that someone I should know?

Both Adam and Kris sang WATC with Brian and Roger on the Idol finale but it is not Kris who is touring with them. Kris is a nice Christian country singer, but for Queen music they needed the rock star!!!!!

Who cares about Kris, I don’t even know who the Hell he is, it’s irrelevant. Adam’s not a rocker.

I don’t know if Kris even performs anymore. He has left L.A. and gone back home to Arkansas. He is a nice family man with at least 2, maybe 3 children. What is memorable is that he and Adam became really good friends on Idol and were both rooting for each other in the finale.

Deep Purple have Gillan Paice and Glover you stupid clueless Clown. I am sure you will return with "that Gillan was not on the first album".
Again another proof you have no clue when it comes to rock music[/QUOTE]
Proof that you know nothing. Ian Paice is the only member of the original lineup still in Deep Purple.
Who's the clueless clown now.

If people wouldn't care, they wouldn't come up with excuses and use homophobic as a "reason why" he didn't win At least rockchic put a new slanthread on things, some of which I never read before.
I don't remember AL ever kissing his boyfriend on the Fox show?
Thanks for not noticing my post above, I guess a retraction that you got it wrong would be too much for you do. Stop running here stirring the shit and spreading the shit what you think happens on QOL. You were wrong, even with the fact you won't admit to it. Next time have to guts to do it over there at least.

AL wasn't a rock star at that point. He isn't one at this point.

There was a picture of Adam kissing a boyfriend which Bill O"Reilly chose to share on his 8:00 News Show. It made quite a stir and was in other media for quite a while. I think that since Danny and Kris were Christian conservatives their block stayed together to vote for Kris once Danny was out, especially after Adam had been outed. And of course, Bill shared a few thoughts, not really helpful to Adam. This had a huge effect IMO. I know you don't believe in homophobia concerning Adam, but people weren'tas blase about it as they are now. Adam shared a few thoughts recently on how homophobia affected his career. He is a pretty honest guy and if he felt that way, I am pretty sure it was that way. I could see the homophobia myself. And it is not an excuse. What he did on AMA just about ruined him and that was due to homophobia, so there were several instances and none of them affected his career positively.
