I agree with Brooklynee's and Archie's opinions. I read many places on the internet that people did not care for Adam's style of singing, so they voted for Kris instead. I voted for Adam Tuesday night, but part of me wanted to vote for Kris. I do not like to hear Adam hit the dramatic high note screaming in every song. Sometimes, I just want to hear him sing it than scream it. I voted for Adam, because he was the contestant I tuned in to watch every week. I think I am more likely to listen to Adam's genre of music than Kris. I like music with a strong rhythm or beat to the music.

This is the thing...Adam can sing just about any kind of genre and make it his own. I'm not into that high note on a guy but you just have to get past his girly voice and simply see he NEVER misses a note or a pitch. His version of Mad World on Tuesday was far better than when he first sang it which made me love his amazing talent even more. I was so GLAD when they ended with Queen and I personally couldn't hear Kris except when he sang solo because Adam in my opinon sang that better than Freddy Mercury! Just simply amazing!! You see, this is what AI is about the singers that will not be forgettable ie...Ruben, Taylor Hicks ect...Kris will just be in the background like they were because he just sings your average boy band type of music, again JMHO

Well did you hear me scream all the way in Ohio

It was a dead give away when Simon was saying 'don't forget to vote for Adam' they knew how heavy the votes were coming in for Kris every single week. The one wins that they want to win and that is all there is to it. Kris deserved to win.

I don't think it was the best American Idol year. I loved last year and will never like anyone better than David Cook but Kris and Carrie Underwood come in second for me and I'm sure he will sell as many albums as they have, he has that 'it' factor and I LOVE HIS VOICE.

The show was the best finale thought IMO and Kiris's song with Keith Urban
was my favorite of all. Carlos Santana, L. Richie, Rod Stewart and Allison with
her idol....shoot how can I forget her name. Anyway it was a wonderful show
and although I thought he might be second a month ago, once he got into to the last two, I knew he had it.

I am happy that Kris 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

Donna

Amen, Sister. And BTW, you are NOT 45 years old!! I've seen you and you are much younger than that!! Seriously?

Did you mean to say 35?

JoshieBoy · 05-21-2009, 09:01 AM

Both of the contestants deserve to be in the finale. I just think that Kris style of music fits the personal taste of majority of the voters, so he won JMO. I prefer to listen to music that has a strong beat that makes you want to dance, so I prefer to listen to Adam sing.

phfgkl · 05-21-2009, 09:02 AM

I think Kris will get somewhere with his music, just as I feel Adam will. My friend voted for Adam, but, she knew Kris won when I told her it took me forever to get through to vote, she said she got through right away when she was voting for Adam.

My questions that night and now is, if the song was written for
Kris why did you delibertly write a song out of his range to begin
with? He pulled it off, that's the talent he has going for him.

Yet another reason for me to dislike that woman!

bjh · 05-21-2009, 09:18 AM

I was disappointed that Adam did not win but I think they will both do well. I really enjoyed the show last night. I thought Kris seemed more relaxed when he was singing. I loved seeing Rod Stewart sing. I have always like him. I am not a rock person but I still enjoyed Adam and Kiss. I thought David Cook was great.

phfgkl · 05-21-2009, 09:23 AM

I think, and this is terrible to say, that a lot of people probably did vote for Kris instead of Adam because of Adams sexuality. The thing is, if you have a lot of girls voting, even if a guy is married, they will still try and go after them, with Adam girls knew there was no chance. I think, and again its sad to say, if Adam would have been straight, he probably would have won. I really think the last month of the show, they should let the judges be the ones to judge and not the fans! Also, sometimes you have to be someone you're not, Adam should have kept the nail polish and eye makeup off, and he probably would have won

It's not how old you are, it how old you feel! Am I the only one who thinks 45 is still young?

Even if you don't like Adam, I think all the interest he generated will help the other contestants; he created a real buzz. I had to die laughing when bikini girl tried to keep singing when Kara was singing, flipping her hair and wiggling her hips, I guess she thinks that is "stage presence." I was really impressed with Kara's performance, to quote her, "she has some real chops!"

I think that was all staged, even the first guy that won had his shorts on under his clothes

She just looks really young. Personally, I think 45 is a "baby". But then, I'm old.

JoshieBoy · 05-21-2009, 09:31 AM

I like Kara's voice. We all know Kara can outsing the bikini girl. I do not like setting people up to humiliate them even if the person is conceited. I could not watch the bikini girl and Kara's performance. I just could not see the humor in that performance. The performance seem mean to me JMO.

Oh I think she was definitely surprised when Kara came out. I believe the part you mentioned was staged and when Tatiana kept singing after they told her to stop, but bikini girl looked like she was really in shock. I think she thought she would sing, and absolutely wow the audience with her gifted voice. Some of the audience were wowed, but it wasn't her voice.
