62. Ha! It took both Gokey and Allen fans together to just narrowly beat Adam, if not, Adam would have had a landslide, just goes to show you who really turned out to be the winner here! Sure had nothing to do with Kris outdoing Adam, Adam outshined everyone this season!

63. TMZ are idiots. Do you're research. Ruben, Clay, Kelly and Taylor SUED to GET OUT of their contracts. they were NOT dumped by them. Only fantasia was.

Also... America got it wrong by getting rid of Gokey. He was the best on the show. He outsang both of the finalists last night, he even outsang lionel richie!

The reason Adam lost was 3 fold.

1. Glam/scream rock was so 20 years ago... and basically that's all he could do. I think there were 2 songs the whole season that wasn't glam/scream rock. and one was "ring of fire" which had a lot of people crying in the bad way.

2. Adam started getting cocky from all the unwarrented praise, especially from Simon. Like when he was asked to pick which group he belonged with that time... thinking he was safe he said "Based on last night, I belong here" like saying to the group he actually belonged with, "you guys sucked. I'm better than you." Most people either pick a side looking confused like deer in the headlights, or refuse to choose. They don't basically say "I'm better than them" to their faces.

3. People were sick of the judges praising adam even when he wasn't on his game while slamming others who did well. They were tired of the judges overstepping their bounds... Simon arranged the judge choice song FOR adam when Adam was suppose to showcase his talents by doing it himself like the other contestants did... that was unfair to the other two. Simon called in a special favor from U2 FOR adam, something he's never done for anyone else in all 8 years... and he begged for people to "vote for adam because he needs to be in the top 2." That was a slap in the face to the other two who worked just as hard as adam to be there, and to their fans.

THAT'S why he lost. NOT because he may or may not be gay. People had Adam burnout because they started pushing him too early and too hard and people got sick of it.

65. Why is it that all of the homos whine like the little bitches that they are? These guys were both very talented and someone had to lose. Adam lost, Kris won.....get over it. They'll both be successful. Heck, one of the earlier losers won a freakin' Oscar. STFU.

66. They are BOTH very talented! Kris WON Adam didn't of course you happy gay people are going to make this another gay issue, it doesn't take much for you to whine! Not everything is about you and your crazy views! I believe all gays are mentally ill. God will protect you in the end if you see the error of your ways! Peace!

67. I put it to TMZ to Debunk this Voting Crap. How is it every time you go and vote (i.e Call for the person who should have one) It was busy the majority of the time, I called for Adam a total of 110 times, (yes no life) and Only got through three times. you do the math, not to mention a I called 16 times for Kris to test my threory and I got through every time. Now why is it that "america" was voting for Kris so much, he didn't get a busy signal? You vote for Adam and you get busy signals. Same thing happend last year with The Davids. I think its rigged so you can't get through to vote for who you want, so the other persons votes are more. Not to mention they have an Idea of who is going to win by past weeks vote by who had the higher numbers, the could have predicted that Adam was going to win, and rigged the phones so Kris would. It's crap. I'm not even going to bother to watch next year.

68. TMZ better do some fact checking.

Studdard, Hicks, Aiken, and Clarkson all SUED to GET OUT of their contracts, they were NOT dropped. Fantasia was, but that was a mutual break.

I think America got it wrong when they knocked out Danny Gokey. Last night he outsang them all, he even outsang Lionel Richie! he's a much stronger singer than Kris, (who sucked last night) and more marketable than Adam.

Look, here's why Adam lost.

1. Glam/scream rock is 20 years ago. he's a fun showman... but like Fergie said... I'm so 3000 and eight, you're so 2000 and late.

2. people were getting sick of how cocky he was getting. He started believing his own hype as they say. Like when he was asked that time to choose the group he belonged to... thinking they meant he was safe he said "based on last night I belonged here" like telling the two he REALLY belonged with... "You guys sucked last night and I'm better than you." In that situation, in seasons past they either chose a side, confused like deer in the headlights, or they refused to choose. but to not only choose, and to basically SAY, "I was better than them"... that got a lot of people angry.

3. People were sick of the treatment he was getting over everyone else. Simon personally arranged his judge choice song for him when the other two and to arrange their OWN songs... (even randy seemed surprised, because the whole point was for them to showcase their talent by figuring it out on their own)... Simon calling in a personal favor from U2 for adam when he wouldn't have done that for anyone else and HASN'T done that for anyone else... simon begging for people to vote for Adam because he "deserved to win" which was a slap in the face to the other two who fought hard to be there, and to their fans... Katy Perry being allowed to come in with an Adam Lambert cape which was insulting to the other two. She was there to perform for ALL of American Idol INCLUDING Danny and Kris fans... how did she think that would go over well for her or Adam?

People were on Adam burn out. They pushed him to hard to early on and people were sick of him. THAT'S why he lost. Had nothing to do with being gay or not.

69. America did not want a screaming SODOMITE like ADAM to win and they were right. Adam only lasted this long because of Simon trying to placate the GAY agenda. NO SODOMITE IDOLS FOR AMERICA!

70. Anyone who thought Chris was good really has low standards in music. Come on people, it's a joke, Adam was by far the best contestant. He showed he can sing a ballot or hit a note that most muscians only wish they could hit. Alison was much much better then Chris hands down. Alot of people hated on Adam because he was so good and was so obvious to win. Other people thought he was gay and sadly would not vote for him for that reason. Adam in my eyes hands down is the winner. He's better off not being labeled winner of american idiol so he can do something on his own.

73. how idiotic to attack the voters now.. low standards in music? what a stupid observation! for this made up word and definition of homophobic, i might be,, but I am far from fearful or irrational, live and let live, I do believe it is wrong, but we all do wrong.
