Sources at "American Idol" tell us the margin between Kris Allen and Adam Lambert "wasn't even close" -- and the biggest factor in Allen's win was Danny Gokey.
Here's what we know. The "lion's share" of Gokey's votes went to Kris Allen. The extent of the lopsidedness surprised a lot of the big wigs at "A.I." We were not told the exact votes but our sources say the AT&T scandal had no impact on the outcome -- the spread was that wide.
61. Adam Lambert lost because he was all hype. Just like the "bible thumpers" voted for Gokey and Chris all of the gays voted for Adam Lambert. FYI 85% of this country is Christian and they have just as much right to vote as everyone else so get over it. Chris a a hottie and the fact that he stayed so classy during the fawning over Adam b.s. is bonus for him. He has delt with the media so beauifly and I hope he stays grounded.

62. Just Noticing, your hate and anger cloud what bit of better judgement you may have. Gay marriage will never be accepted in this nation. You can't even get it to pass in one of the most blue states in the country, so please, stop your lying. The only states it's legal in now is because radical liberal judges in those states overturned the PEOPLE's vote. Your Nazism will never win, you'll always lose.
Yes, Kris does know why he won, because he was the better singer and didn't need to dress up like a late 80's glam singer poser. Can Adam even play a single instrument? Poor guy. He was a back up to a back up for Wicked in LA, not Broadway, but LA, for a reason.

63. I want to see Kris swap some spit with Adam.

64. It may be true that a small percentage of Gokey supporters were spewing hateful homophobic stuff, but how about the Glambert squads posting that Danny 1) killed his wife in order to pimp her out on Idol, 2) is a pedophile, 3) was shiling for Lens Crafters 4) was pretending to be in grief over the loss of his wife, when in "fact" he was on the prowl in la...and lots more really ugly defaming patently untrue allegations.
I'm sure that both Lambert and Gokey do not care to associate themselves with the kind of people who say any of the ugly things written about the other contestants. They both seem to be absolutely stand-up guys. Very different musically and personally, but hey, this is a BIG COUNTRY!

65. Even though they're styles were so differnt, I thought both Adam and Kris were very likable individuals. I felt confident that Adam would have a great career regardless of the AI outcome. It think he knew that as well. He looked releived that the competition is over, so he can get on with his life. I wouldn't be surprised if he had folks from the music biz knocking on his door for weeks.
I think Kris will do fine. He's not as hungry as Adam, so that could be a determining factor in how far he goes.
Something about Gokey bothered me from the beginning. He didn't come across as sincere as some of the other contestants I've seen that also suffered major losses....and the way Paul and Cara swooned over him made me ill. He also didn't seem listen much to the advice of the guests that they worked with each week. For example, Smokey Robinson advised him not to move his hands about so much -- what does he do -- he waves them throughout the entire song. I thought that was arrogant and obnoxious.

66. Wow, I really liked Adam so much before I started reading all these comments on here from the obvious leftwing kooks that support him. Just like how you freaks turned me off on him, you turn Americans off with your lies and propaganda.
And for all the idiots on here talking about how we live in a "bigoted, racist nation," hmm....HELLO!!! We just elected President the most unqualified, undeserving candidate in our nation's history because he is a "black." So shut up please, you only make yourselves look more and more foolish.

68. Kris gave Adam an ass-whooping in the competition. I bet Adam loved it.

69. I voted for Danny from the very beginning because he was the best singer and my favorite. After Danny left I then voted for Adam because he was my 2nd favorite. I think what you have stated in your article is bs but what do I expect from tmz anyway lol. The reason they didn't divulge the number is because it was very close and they didn't want to do a recount. Also AI is very satisfied that a plain boring Christian musician won because he's safe. It was all part of their master plan and they got what they wanted in Kris a dime a dozen.

71. Or maybe it also had a lot to do with the fact that we here in Hawaii couldnt get through as well as most of California, including San Diego where Adam is from. No worries, Adam will be a super star and in a year from now poor Kris will be down the same road as the grey haired guy who no one remembers his name. Its almost a curse to win Idol, Jenifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, Clay Aiken just to name a few. In fact only two of the winners have become huge superstars, Cary and Kelly.
You rock Adam

72. Even though AT&T cheated and Adam was not given the same opportunity, the real proof will be in CD sales. Chris will be like the other fallen AI (and we know who they are). AT&T just wasted their time. Adam is the real star and if he just made a CD of all the songs he sung during the show, it would blow off the shelves. Chris knows he he's not going to make it out there, but Adam will.

73. Lambert fans should really just STFU about it. I would imagine if people keep pushing them, AI will be forced to show the results showing that Lambert got POUNDED just to show 20 phones made NO difference. AI always tells the world when it's close. They didn't say a word.
It was already leaked that Kris' version of that ridiculous "No Boundries" song has sold over 100K more downloads than Adam's. A pretty good inicator of how much more popular Kris is. People don't actually buy songs of people the voted for just because they didn't like the other guy. They buy it because it's better.

74. Allen's victory song, "No Boundaries," landed at No. 11 after selling 134,000 downloads -- ... As for Adam Lambert, he made it to No. 19 this week with 115,000 downloads of "Mad World," plus three other charting singles, - Billboard

75. Can all of the queens quit whining about Adam's losing to Kris? You're starting to wear on everybody's nerves. Take the loss in stride and go see Adam at the gay caberet's and theater next Summer. He'll be a "head" liner for all the boys! Kris will be on tour then, promoting his #1 CD.
