'American Idol' Champ Dines with Loser

Just because several million more people like one over the other, it doesn't mean "American Idol" champ Kris Allen and runner-up Adam Lambert can't enjoy a meal together.

Kris Allen, Adam Lambert

After appearing on "Larry King Live" together, the pair hit up a local Poquito Mas with some friends.

So, who picks up the tab -- the guy Simon wanted to win or the guy America wanted to win?

32. TMZ- Would use the word LOSER when refuring to a man (Adam) that Kris himself stated deserved should win too. Bottom line PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR KRIS TO WIN AI BECAUSE HE WAS THE BEST. THEY VOTED TO INSURE ADAM TO LOSE BECAUSE HE WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE REST. Sad-we have so many hate voters out there! Kris is a great talented guy. Will you be walking out of his sold out venue with your mind blow from his performance in 3-5-8-12...yrs. because it was so fantastic! No- Will you be telling and calling all your friends with busting excitement about the Kris Allen show or the unforgetable ADAM LAMBERT performance you saw! I guess it all comes to different world.
Bottom line- Kris did not win on talent. Everyone encluding himself know he skated on Danny's simpathy and underdog votes. The songs Kris got in the end fit Kris great and he did good. Right place, right time. They almost pimped Adam until the media and conservitives pulled the plug at the end. Then nice-nice to all.
IN THE END AMERICA'S close minded,people who are in fear of change or getting out of a comfort zone got their guy. America has proven it will always be about the average, apple pie, boy next door. Not guys like Adam Lambert that (how did Simon put it ina few) "The whole package" "Extrodinary"Oh-"Worldstar!" How many people know a Kris in their life. Super talented-Dime a dozed!
*Note* Go to AI site a compare judges coments for the season-no comparison-almost funny
~People did not vote out Kris's talent~they voted out of preduce of Adam- Our country should be ashamed!
Best wishes Kris

33. It appears that many of Kris's fans haven't learned anything from the man himself... namely class. I'm sure he's cringing over the hate being displayed by his so called fans.

34. Hey TMZ, neither of them is a loser.
Adam Lambert is gonna be great, and so will Kris. Just in different ways. I love them both and I love that they are friends! Keep writing about them, especially Adam. Can't get enough of him, he is too gorgeous!

Love you Lambert! Can't wait to hear your music!

35. I also love that these two are such great role models, they prove that you can come from totally different backgrounda and have different views on things and still be friends. The media tried to make it into a cultural war with the AI finale, but Adam and Kris never had a war - they are best friends and they say that everytime. They respect each other and it makes me respect them. They will both have great careers and I love them both!

Good luck guys! Keep being yourselves and set an example!

36. I just have to say, with all sincerity... that that's the dumbest poll question I've ever seen.

37. OH WELL...TMZ ... TMZ...TMZ....YOU JUST CAN'T CONTROL YOURSELVES...YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT...
Take a photo of two good friends who just had dinner together...and caption it this way....you just want Adam's fans to react...from the photo...looks like Kris is the loser and Adam has this vibrant personality....He has been very nice to TMZ...

38. Ladies and Gentlemen the Gay Elvis Presley has left the building. I'm so happy that Gay Goth Guy didn't win.

39. I think they are both nice guys & have a whole lot better attitude than Adam's fans about it all. Wish the media & TMZ would quit trying to get them angry at each other like they are ALL the time.

40. Kris and Adam are both great musicians/people
I'm glad Kris won though because he was my pick since the beginning of the season. Never thought he'd made it so far, very very proud of this kid. I'll be the first one to purchase his debut CD!

41. ADAM is not a loser. Statistics show Adam has more fans than Kris except Kris fans voted more times. Arkansas with a population of 2.8 million, placed 58 million votes for Kris. That is still excluding votes from Arkansas placed at different time zones shown as votes from different states. One person in Arkansas placed 45,000 votes!!!
From the Arkansas Democrat Gazette: "In Conway after Tuesday's performances, fans at the Estes Stadium Watch Party took out wireless phones and started making calls and firing off text messages-some voting on their own devices and others on phones borrowed from AT&T, which supplied about 50 display units and respresentatives to teach multiple "power texting". AT&T also made about 30 phones available in a "texting zone" at a watch party at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock."
Is it FAIR for the sponsor AT&T to do this to one contender and not the other? Is this really how the show want to crown their AI? Is this acceptable??? To me, that is foul.

42. I am confused. If the voting statistics reported by AT&T is true, then I don''t understand how a state population of only a mere 2,880,000 or so can turn in that impressive number of 30 million plus votes for that Allen? I can’t do the math. AI has some explaining to do and to allow repeated dialing from the same phone numbers is completely wrong and not acceptable. To claim there are 100 millions votes is a joke. Voting by the American people should be fair and square. Until you set up some rule about your voting system, I really think it will turn off a lot of people. From now on, the winner only needs to make sure he/she has enough workers to do the constant dialing, regardless whether they can sing or not.

43. Adam was probably treating Kris to a meal as repayment for calling Gokey a "jerk" in front of a TV audience. Best.moment.of.the.season!!!!!

44. Is it just me or does Kris look pissed off? Seriously he is going to have to get used to cameras. Adam seems to be taking it well enough as a true professional should. So yeah don't call him a loser.

45. TMZ-You would use the word LOSER when refuring to a man (ADAM LAMBERT) that Kris himself stated deserved to win too. Bottom Line! PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR KRIS TO WIN AI BECAUSE HE WAS THE BEST. THEY VOTED TO BE SURE ADAM LAMBERT LOST because he is different than all the rest. Sad-we have so many hate voters out there! Kris is a great talented guy. Will you be walking out of a sold out Kris show calling all your friends with excitement because his peformance was so incredible? I doubt it. In 3-5-12 yrs. you and your friends will still be talking about the SOLD OUT!ADAM LAMBERT performance you went to because it was so fantastic and mind blowing. Kris and Adam are worlds apart. Kris talented and ADAM as Simon said "Extrodinary and The Whole Package!"
BOTTOM LINE~Kris did not win on talent. Everyone, including himself knows he skated on Danny's sympathy and underdog votes. The songs Kris got in the end fit Kris's style better and he did a good job. They show had unfarely almost been pimping Adam the whole time until the producers and Media pulled the plug. Kris was in the right place in the right time. Great last few songs and judges had to play nice. Kris got it! Poor Danny
IN THE END AMERICA'S- Close-minded people, who are in fear of change or getting out of their comfort zone got their guy. Amercia has proven it will always be about the average, apple pie, boy next door. Conservitive and judgmental people will always go to any lenghts to keep it that way if they can.
Guys like ADAM LAMBERT are to risky for most Americans. One time Simon stated he was a "Brave""WorldStar". How many people know guys like Kris in their lives. Super talented but A DIME A DOZEN.**
* People voted for Kris for the wrong reasons and they know it.They shouls be ashamed ot the selves.
***Check out AI site and compare judges comments for season, song for song. It's almost funny!**
Best wishes Kris & all of AI
