You really think one article from 2009 which is just one opinion matters now?

It's a better and more interesting read than the conspiracy that homophobia is the "reason" why he didn't win. Why not read and post a different view?

I've said my opinion on why he didn't win previously but here goes. Kris was an all American christian who'd done missionary work and sung regularly in church and Danny Gokey (who came 3rd) was also a very strong christian who sung in church. It's well known that voters transfer to other contestants once their favourite is voted off so it's not a leap to assume a lot of Danny's voters transferred their votes to Kris in the final when Danny was voted off the week before, they had a lot in common and strong christian voters were far more likely to vote for Kris than Adam.

Plus there's always the fact that people don't vote for who's technically the best singer or has the widest range they vote for who they connect to and Kris seemed a genuinely nice guy and had a nice voice, played guitar and did some good versions of covers especially later in the show. Adam was being "marketed" by the show on a subtle level as a done deal for winning it and people often vote for the underdog which seemed to be how they "marketed" Kris. I personally don't think it matters one bit who technically wins a show like that, once you reach the final you've won anyway, you're guaranteed a record deal, you've been seen by millions of people every week and then it's down to what you do after to keep the momentum going.

Adam never won because Americans are still homophobic and Adam makes its worse dressing like he does in his freaky gear.

But who really cares at the end of the day? I don't give a crap who is singing Queen music as long as I enjoy the music and I think they are doing a good job. I could care less what a music teacher does in class. Coming from a mother whose kids were in music class and band and had private lessons, Freddie and Queen were not mentioned either. Do you have to be famous to record music to make it good? No one but Freddie singing it can be it enjoyable for others? I don't happen to believe that and I don't worry about legacies and who is talking about whom. I like Adam, I like Queen and I enjoy them together.

Icy, the word was "big up" not your fav. S word. I do notice you are not spreading that lovely phrase around on QOL!! Several people took you to task over there yesterday and you are not allowed to answer folks there like you do here. Good thing really!! I ALSO noticed you were already bugging the mods about spammers over there. Back to your own "shit stirring"! Amazing what you criticize and then do the same thing yourself. Wow, that is a true hypocrite! Read a little more carefully!!

I have no time to read up about Freddie and Queen and could care less about it. I love Iron Maiden, listen to them a lot, but am not going to go back and read which singer they had at which point in their history. I don't care!. I saw them with Dickinson and love them and that is more than enough for me. There is enough important real history like things going on the US that require reading about and Queen and Iron Maiden, my two fav groups, just doesn't reach that level for me. There is way more important stuff in this world than that.

Hey, snifflese about your second paragraph, rather your spewing and spreading your shit ..you might want to read over there again what was posted not long ago . Read carefully., very carefully and take it in what was said...but I doubt you will because that would prove you wrong, and you can't have that can you?
Want to spread more of your fkd up shit?

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?

Lambert would not have ever toured the world's stadiums if Brian had not picked him .
I ma sure there are many young kids out there who can be even better on stage then Lambo
By the way he is putting the pork on now and getting chubby that's how drag queen's go i guess lol

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?

Yes Lewis is just like Adam he shouts and thinks he can sing.
He is a scottish dude and talentless at that!

Adam doesn’t shout!

Irrelevant

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.
