Gokey Voters Sided With Kris Allen

31. Agree with you #18....one vote per number and IP address. It's become a contest for fans who can vote the most, not a best talent competition anymore. This show is dying a slow death and I have no faith in the voting process anymore. What a joke, this is the biggest upset for TV in years. Adam should have won and even Kris acknowledges that. Adam screeches? Go listen to Danny Gokey's version of "Dream On" or "Scream On"...that's a scream that will haunt you for centuries.

32. Don't celebrate yet, "Poor losers". Gay marriage will be legal shortly in most if not all states, just like interracial marriage is (it was illegal at one time), and Adam will do just fine. It's Kris I'm sorry for. He knows why he won, and we'll see how his album does.

33. Adam is winning, yet again, where it really counts. Adam has the highest selling album (compilation of songs from the show) which means that new people are buying his music... Adam fans already have singles and videos and therefore wouldn't need to buy the entire album. The other guys fans were obviously on the fence and are purchasing a single of his here or there but were obviously not buying his music from the entire season. Adam's album debuted 13 positions higher than the other guys. Also, Adam's 16 videos from the show are ALL in the top 40. He has the #1 video for his duet with KISS and has for the past week. Before it went on sale the Youtube clip received a million hits in 2 days. The other guy has some videos in the top 100, but despite how adorable his fans professed him to be, nobody seems to be over anxious to see his live performances. Adam is AMAZING in his videos and I cannot wait to see him in concert. I only wish I had a mute button for some of the other contestants.

34. Adam Lambert was CLEARLY a more talented singer. Sorry, but I don't think Kris Allen should have made it into the top 12. He just was NOT good enough. In any event, Adam Lambert is surely to make a ton more money than Kris Allen bar none,

35. I love Adam and I think he should of won, Kris is cute but he is boring to watch and listen to.

36. Dee, Simon gave his opinion as a judge to all the contestants. And Katy Perry said who she liked. Other artists could have said they liked Kris. But a whole multi million dollar company with shwag to pass out is a whole different ball game.

37. Funny how people want to chastize the "bible thumpers" for not voting for Lambert. HE chose to be the flamboyant one, and that comes with risks. In fact, most gay people I know don't like flamboyant gays.

Doesn't matter. It's a singing competition, and people voted for the best SINGER. Adam has to glam it up to be noticed as a singer. That's why I think he will not do as well as a recording artist. Without the glam, he's just a screechy Ethel Merman.

38. BOYCOTT AMERICAN IDOL AND AT&T AND ALL OF AI'S OTHER SPONSORS!
This is a f*king sham ... disgusting!
agree with #14 ... explain the 38 million votes from Arkansas, please??
Adam screeched no more than David Cook last year who was the #1 screecher of AI.
A lot of rock songs are screeching type songs anyway.
Did you hear MAD WORLD? ONE? that wasn't screeching at all.
The hillbilly haters from the Midwest don't like gays ... trailer trash homophobic hick town f*cks!

41. Can you people just get over the freaking fact that Kris won? I'm no freaking homophobe, I'm no freaking Christian, I'm just a girl that loved Kris's voice, so I voted for him from day one, and week after week, he made it through to the next round. He's a cool guy with a guitar and an awesome voice. Quit with your f*cking "Adam was robbed" "it's a scam" and all that other crap. I for one couldn't STAND looking at and listening to Adam every week. Take away the costumes and the layers and layers of make up and the lighting and the band, and what you got in Adam is a mediocre performer who's better off in musical theater, and he's no different than the countless other people in theater.. His voice ISN'T that damned good, and he's butt ugly, to boot. What in the hell has gotten into America? Was Adam like the second coming of Christ for you over the top fanatics? You just can't be happy unless you're fanatical about SOMETHING. It's mind blowing, really.

42. Here's a little newsflash. I voted for Kris BECAUSE I LIKED HIM THE BEST. I'm not a freaking homophobe, I'm not a freaking Christian, I'm not in on some kind of conspiracy. I voted for Kris from day one because I liked him the best!! Go figure, I'm one of the people that wasn't caught up in the hype for that freaky Glambert. Kris is a college kid with a guitar and and awesome voice who made it through the thousands of people who audition for AI, and he made it to the top. What's so freaking hard to believe about that? You take away Adam's costumes, his layers of makeup (what's up with that?), take away the band and the backgroud singers, and what you got in Adam is a mediocre singer who is better off where he came from, and that's musical theater. He's NO different than the countless other stage performers out there. I hated seeing him every week, and I hated listening to him even more. What the heck is America's infatuation with this guy? Is he like the second coming for you people? He's not that freaking good. He'll be fading out soon, thank God!

43. Adam will recieve a Tony Award, And YEAH for him! He might even get a Grammy, go Glam bert! Kris will do ok, there is a big audience for him, he'll make a mark in our Music world. Danny Gokey will be a artist of great value to our world also! I voted for Danny, when he was out I voted for Kris because I, myself appreciate their style more. I will go see Adam in a show one day and I'll enjoy it. I don't like to hear Danny & Kris more or less because they sleep with women! I don't like Adam more or less because he may (or may not) sleep with men!
I AM tired of ppl thinking we have to be PC and vote Race, or Gender preference-lets give this a try....vote on merit of what You need from the artist. Now, if our new Supreme Court Judge, soto was a judge--she'd have tossed the competion OUT with NO winner if Allison (hispanic) Adam (gay) or Lil (black) didn't win, cause it is simply UNFAIR that some of us like White Straight Men music more... don't ya think?

44. Here's a little newsflash. I voted for Kris BECAUSE I LIKED HIM THE BEST. I'm not "afraid" of gays, I'm not a flipping Christian, I'm not in on some kind of conspiracy. I voted for Kris from day one because I liked him the best!! Go figure, I'm one of the people that wasn't caught up in the hype for that freaky Glambert. Kris is a college kid with a guitar and and awesome voice who made it through the thousands of people who audition for AI, and he made it to the top. What's so darned hard to believe about that? You take away Adam's costumes, his layers of makeup (what's up with that?), take away the band and the backgroud singers, and what you got in Adam is a mediocre singer who is better off where he came from, and that's musical theater. He's NO different than the countless other stage performers out there. I hated seeing him every week, and I hated listening to him even more. What the heck is America's infatuation with this guy? Is he like the second coming for you people? He's not that good, seriously. He'll be fading out soon, thank God!
