Just ask Taylor Hicks, Fantasia Barrino and Ruben Studdard ... who were all eventually dropped from their labels.

31. Personally I think all realty shows are fixed. I don't have anything against Shawn Johnson (DWTS) or Chris but they both should have come in second. When it comes down to anti-gay, Christian religious voting, then I will turn the shows off. American Idol want t be the best at votes being called in. Big deal - one hundred million votes......but how many people voted. If they would just make it that only one vote per person then you would see maybe twenty million voters if that. The anti-gay, Christian religious voters have all kinds of time on their hands to vote, vote again and vote again.

33. I DON'T think America got this right. However Adam will be the most popular contestant of American Idol EVER!!! I don't care if Kris won. He has to sing that ridiculous song now as his first single so if that's the prize CONGRATS Kris lol you deserve it

34. #26. Is it at all possible that the people of Arkansas are just really loyal and voted for their boy like crazy? Stop putting so much thought into a television shows. Its just entertainment after all.

35. P.S. - seeing Carlos Santana and Brian May shredding on guitar was the BEST PART of the show!!

36. America got it so wrong!!!! Adam is in a whole other league. Chris maybe able to write music but he is a very average singer. There are a million other better singers then Chris. If it was not for Adam season 8 would not been that interesting. Adam has an incredible voice and was hands down the winner this season. The problem is people get to vote more then once. So you have all these young little girls voting 100 times for someone like Chris and it throws the whole voting off. It does not show who the true winner is, it just shows that American Idiol wants to make tons of money by allowing people to vote more then once. The show is a joke at this point. But Adam is probably better off not winning because this allows him to do whatever he wants now. I would love to see him be the lead singer of Queen.

37. Kris was the better all around performer and deserved to win. I got so sick every week of the judges anointing Adam a American Idol God, it was just too much! And speaking of too much, that describes Adam Lambert to a tee!!! The guy was talented but he was just to much, over the top, and not maintstream enough for AI's audience. Come on, just the get up he came out in to sing with Kiss, it was laughable to see him done up like that and just seemed a little silly. On the other hand Kris' performance with Keith Urban, that could be packaged up and sold today! Screw TMZ and their nasty comments labeling Kris a has been already before he even gets a shot, I have a feeling he is going to show everyone. Remember the judges and haters did the same thing when Carrie Underwood won, they practically cried when their dear little Bo Bice lost and we all know now how that story has gone!

39. I never watched the show, but from the sound bites I say on E, the right person won. I never understood how that Adam Glambert guy made it so far. All the clips they showed were of him yelling at the top of his lungs. And it was not at all appealing to the ears. Personally. I don't think he had the talent. All he had was stage performance.

40. ^^^ I meant to say, "from the sound bites I saw on E." Still to early.

41. Mellisa...I totally agree with you. Adam and Allison should have been in the finals. Kris is a nice singer but I muted his perfermances all the time b/c he bored me. Furthermore, Fantasia was NOT dropped from her label.

42. You liberal quacks are hilarious!! PLEASE, PLEASE keep posting!!!! You same dumbass liars that say religion is dead and we're becoming a "progressive" nation will in the same breath blame ALL these religious, bible belt "nuts" for voting down gay marriage and now apparently voting Kris as the winner. So which is it douchebags? Either religion is dead in this country or it owns the world since you keep using it as your excuse as to why your failed AGENDAS continue to lose!!!!

LIBERAL HYPOCRISY IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A LAUGH!! LOL!!!

43. Congrats, Kris!

44. That song Kara DioGuardi wrote SUCKED. No matter who sings it. Kris will truly have to be judged by other songs that follow it. That song really sucked.

45. Kris is adorable but will never make it big. He is destined to go in the path of Taylor, Ruben, Fantasia....winners who should never have won!! And yes Taylor was dropped from his record label. Check your sources!
America is full of christian homophobes!!!!!!!! Vote for the best not along your freaking christian beliefs. AMERICA MISSED THIS ONE BIG TIME! Kris is NOT strong enough nor does he have enough range to EVER make it big!!!!!!!!
