I'm disappointed that Adam didn't win! I am 45 years old and grew up on rock music, Queen, Kiss, Judias Priest and Adam surpasses even their vocal talent! I'm a child of flamboyance!!! I love Elton John (now that is flamboyant LOL), I really don't think his sexuality should EVER have a part in whether or not he should have won. I'm not for that lifestyle by any means but it has no baring on his AMAZING vocal skills and just plain superior talent!!
Although Kris is a great vocalist his voice is a dime a dozen...just listen to any of the current boy bands lead singers and you'll find Kris's type of music and voice.
Adam is a rare find and that is what American Idol is about finding that stand out, stand alone amazing vocal ability to sing something out of this world and make it amazing and that is what Adam does. Kris is a dime a dozen. JMHO
