Who Will Win American Idol?
Posted on Tue May 19, 2009 09:00 AM PDT

AIFinal200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - The showdown between Adam Lambert and Kris Allen starts tonight, and although many believe Adam Lambert's a shoo-in for the title, Allen still has a shot at an upset.

These two are pretty much a study in opposites: One's hard rock, the other's soft rock. One is not-so-secretly gay, while the other one proudly displays his wife at every episode. One was a front-runner from the beginning, while the other slowly built his following with quiet confidence.

Whoever does actually win the votes, it's certainly shaping up to be quite the battle tonight at the Kodak theater!

Who will YOU be voting for?

No gays allowed. They ruin everything.

Scott, you are a disgusting excuse for a human being! you should be ashamed of yourself and of your feelings!

Adam has star quality and tremendous talent. Kris is like David Archuletta from last year-- a second place talent. Beverly

Scott you don't get it! It's about talent and the ability to sing and perform. It is not about sexual orientation. Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to make comments or voice your opinion your far too biased and unfair.

Time to get in the real world 2009.

Adam is NOT going to win. We are tired of the screaming, the ugly hair, phony oh-so-humble attitude and the idiotic clothes he gets into. Plus he's gay -YUK! Kris will win!

Adam has an evil spirit about him. His songs all sound the same, screaming! He has a voice but doesn't know how to sing a simple, quality song.



Posted by: erick

I like both Adam and Kris.

I prefer Kris's song. I'm for "easy listening" and acoustic.

I vote for Kris in this competition.

But I know Adam is great too.

To people arguing the "gay' stuff, common. Stop it. Everyone has a fair chance.

IT'S A SINGING COMPETITION AND NOT MACHISMO COMPETITION.



Posted by: Just a Mom!!!!

Regardless of who they are, both have made it this far.what is this telling the viewers. Everyone deserves a chance to fill their dreams.Let us judge them by their talents.

Chris has sooo much more all round talent. Adam is phony, hair, makeup, clothes and he really doesn't deserve this honor. He will rep AI badly in the future. Chris on the other hand is humble and not full of himself. He is a REAL person.



Posted by: Mitch

Vote for Kris! Adam will make it big, win or not. Kris is genuine.

There are things I like about both Adam and Kris, but I'll be voting for Kris. He seems so genuine and sincere. Although Adam can certainly "rock it" I only downloaded his slow songs "Tracks of My Tears" and "If I Can't Have You." Both guys are talented musically, but are on total opposite sides of the spectrum. I also like that Kris can play guitar and piano, both of which he taught himself to do. If the Danny Gokey fans move their votes to Kris instead of Adam, I think we'll see a Kris Allen upset even though the judges think Adam will win. No matter how they sing tonight, Kris has my vote. Good Luck Kris!!

Adam is the true star. Adam is one of the best singers to ever set foot on that stage! Kris does not deserve to be in the final as his vocal range and pitch are shallow! He is in the final because the teenagers think he is cute.



Posted by: Kathy

Although Adam has that vocal range, Kris will get my vote. He is so sincere and really appreciates his fans. He can't help it...he's a humble guy. Way to go Kris!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Posted by: NiceGuy

Kris seems more all-around talented, with his ability to not only sing, but to play an instrument while doing so. I'm going with Kris.



Posted by: Anonymous

I'm pulling for Kris. Most of Adams songs sound to much alike. I prefer Kris' humbleness and choice of music style.

JC & Scott you are both pathetic. Sad, pathetic, hateful people.

I am voting for Kris, end of story.

I would pay money to go see Adam, he is the complete package. Kris is cute and very talented but not even in the same league!



Posted by: Lori

I'm ready for over the top, different talent. Adam sings effortlessly, what a gift. He has blown me away with his creativity and range.



Posted by: Anonymous

I didn't know Adam was gay, but it makes no difference to me. I've never been gay so I won't and can't judge him. God does that. And, we have a loving God. Adam has talent. Chris's music is too weird for me. So unmusical. He doesn't seem to know what he is. I don't catergorize him as soft rock. It's confused rock.



Posted by: Anonymous

No doubt, Adam has talent. He has proven that in all his paid stage performances. He's a trained singer/performer! Not only that, his genre reaches a smaller audience - rockers are in the minority. Kris is the full "American Idol" package: he can sing, he plays instruments, and he has appeal! He may not be the best singer, but he is the epitomy of the "American Idol".



Posted by: Tiff

Gay Gay Gay....Who cares? Talent is talent thats like saying Obama shouldn't be the President because he is Black,big freaking deal.... Get over it you closed minded fools! Adam is truly a ROCKSTAR!!!! He is Robert Plant, Axle Rose, Freddie Mercury, and Steven Tyler and that right there makes him A musical GENIUS. So who cares if he is Gay! I'm voting for Adam because he has a range that has never been seen...Kris is cute and sweet but Adam is a Star!



Posted by: Anonymous

How does the idea of gay enter into this question? It's a bit like disliking someones singing talent because they have a dog instead of a cat. I like listening to Adam. He amazes me. That's all. Chris is very talented also.



Posted by: Rusty

If you are going to judge strictly on musical talent, Adam has it. My husband is a musician and he just shakes his head at Adam. He says his vocal range is a rare gift and he's blown away by Adam's singing. I am not a rock fan but Tracks of My Tears and Mad World brought me to tears. There was a lot of good talent this year but Adam outshines them all.

It too bad that Bill O'Reilly had the
Newsweek entertainment 'editor" on the night before the big vote. This is a contest of the best singer Adam has the all around talent, an excellet presence, able to sing in all areas. To try to influence the voters by saying it's a Christian show was a hit below the belt. If he is gay - how many people in the entertainment busines aren't. Clay Aiken is gay and it was known when he was competing. Why listen to the creep from newweek , who had a mean grin on his face, he really enjoy his act on Fox last night. I can't believe Bill O'Reilly fell for his act of pitting Christians against whoever. It is not a religious contest but a musical contest. By the way did you notice the physical attractiveness between the red head and Adam. I am a Christian but am not going to be judgmental. The good Lord can take care of that. Chris has a good voice, but I don't agree that he is pushing religion and it wasn't right to say he was. Have those of you who think he is the best ever watched his face when he is kept on. There have been times when he looks uncomfortable, especially the night that Adam was in the "chair" along with Matt. Strange.

Rusty, I too am a musician. My degree is in music. Adam is an actor with a great voice. He's all about the presentation, and he strikes me as fake. Kris is genuine. Danny was my favorite, and the best singer of the bunch. Since he's gone, Kris gets my votes.



Posted by: Bon

Adam will win because he has a very great voice and for sure he could sing. I think this is the first Idol ever who could really sing. Adam should be the next American Idol.

What was the number for voting?



Posted by: jannie5

Some of you are right: Adam is very showy and Kris acts and is more genuine. Kris has my vote.



Posted by: Emma

I say Kris?
I don't really like Adam maybe his style or something but he has a good voice? But I vote for Kris all the way?

Kris all the way!



Posted by: Fag

Being a gay male I am in love with Kris, you would think I would vote for Adam, but I find Kris has the TRUE AMERICAN IDOL, LOOKS, Style, vocals, talent He has it all!



Posted by: not a fan of Ai

who won tonight?



Posted by: Dingleberry Mary

RE:SCOTT AND J.C.!
Are you all absolutely lame? Cant you see what's going on here? Scott and J.C. are lovers. I've known them for 6 years and 4 of the years they have been an item. Rumor got out lately and so this is their idea of damage control. To be seen by others who know them who frequently read this rag. So their friends can see that they fag-bash.. if they fag-bash then they cant be gay right? Wink wink! trust me they are more gay than any president of a Judy, Liza, Bette, or Joan Crawford fan club.. Now that's quite gay if you ask me.. How do i know? Because I'm not only the president of all of them... but i'm also a client.. But all joking aside. THey are lovers and are just trying to keep things mum.. Bye



Posted by: Doreen

If God is perfect and created man and woman in his image then to not accept gays and lesbians is to not accept God; both Kris and Adam are deserving but I prefer Kris' voice and hope he wins.



Posted by: not a fan of Ai

who won tonight?



Posted by: joy

Ok Doreen you are an loser obviously, no idea of how to interrupt scriptures. But back to the subject, at first I liked Adam's voice and stage presence but as time went on his screaming and arrogance got to me and hius drag queen pics was big no no. Big turn off. The American idol singer is a representation of we the people and I would prefer Kris represented me. I would definitely buy his album. I vote for KRIS!



Posted by: Jade

Adam is the Staaaaaarrrrr....Duh! And how can any of you call him fake? He is true to what he does and that is to ENTERTAIN! When I pay to see a concert I want to be Entertained and there is no doubt that going to see Adam will be ENTERTAINING....Ok so Kris has that boyish charm but ADAM is HOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dark hair, and beautiful blue eyes and a voice that can never be matched....Yep, He has the WHOLE package....In the words of my homegirl, "Yummy"



Posted by: emb

What numer do i call to vote for Adam



Posted by: Girle

From Japan, I like Adam.



Posted by: Anonymous

I like Kris!! Adam seems to scream in most of the songs he does and he is too arrogant. Kris has more talent as far as being able to sing, play instruments and looks. My vote goes to Kris



Posted by: Anonymous

I really like them both but i agree that Kris is really more of an all around singer then Adam. I also agree that Adam is such a Elvis look alike it's is so uncanny. Adam will make it big most likely, but Kris gets my vote...I really like Gokey the best...



Posted by: Anonymous

I think that Adam is talented but he is not a recording artist...he is a stage singer. You can tell by his style of singing that he has been trained to perform in shows, not to record an artist. And his screaming is obnoxious! Its whiney and shreaky.

I think that Kris is better all around artist. He can sing, he can play the guitar and the piano. He definitely should win and will have a better career after Idol than Adam. Adam will go to Broadway, which is great but I don't think that is what Idol is for.

I hope Kris wins to knock Adam and all the judges on their butts.

I ALSO THINK THE JUDGES HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY BIASED. Their comments clearly say to the viewers that you should vote for Adam, which I do not think is fair to Kris. Just look at their comments to Kris after the last song, they pretty much were telling him he lost. Not cool!



Posted by: Lisa

Adam will make it big on Broadway. I can see someone doing a revival of Jesus Christ Superstar for him. He is not mainstream enough for this competition. Kris has more tools. Go Kris!!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

I was very disappointed at the judges' bias. I do like both performers, but think Kris is a much more well-rounded, a talented MUSICIAN (vocally and instrumentally) and great to watch AND listen to. He is also honest, humble and genuine, and that is what America should be idolizing. Adam is fun to watch (and yes extremely talented) but his place is really on the broadway stage, not on my ipod (ouch!!).



Posted by: Rafterfan

Kris is indeed well-rounded...for soft rock. Adam is well-rounded....for superstardom! No matter which way America voted, Adam is THE ONE!



Posted by: Adam Fan!!

This is a singing competition! Not a look competition or a sexual preferance competition. Its also not who can play more instruments. Its who can SING BETTER! Adam has out sang everyone since the begining. You cant denie that! His voice is amazing and I believe he will turn out like the late Freddy Mecury from Queen who rocked the stage and gave us so many great hits that are know world wide. Go Adam!



Posted by: Anonymous

I can tell queers by their statements and don't preach to us about GOD. He didn't create Adam & Adam. I wouldn't let this Adam from IDOL kiss Obama's ass.

Hello people in America, don't be so stupid to under estimate Adam Lambert, why you people don't can accept the 3rd Sex, we're on the real world. Thats stupid if you don't vote Adam, He's the only one American Idol contestant had that kind of talent since it was started.



Posted by: Anonymous

You will like Adam if you like someone screaching at you. He would be perfect in a horror movie.

Hurray for Adam! He is the best!

ADAM LAMBERT IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL! HE IS FANTASTIC AND A MUCH BETTER SINGER THEN KRIS...KRIS REALLY CAN'T CARRY A TUNE IN A BUCKET..HE'S IS ALWAYS OFF PITCH, AND HE DRIVES ME CRAZY THE WAY HE CONTORTS HIS MOUTH WHEN HE SINGS... HE IS SECOND PLACE MATERIAL... GO ADAM



Posted by: Anonymous

He might win Americas Idol but he will raost in hell with all his queer ilk.

Why do any of you care about his sexual orientation.. that is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! What pathetic people you are!



Posted by: Anonymous

I have always expected the finale to be Adam and Danny, but am glad that it turned out the way it did. I like both Adam and Chris very much because they are from different ends of the music spectrum, it just comes down to personal taste. I vote for Adam because imo he is the complete package and will be ready from the get go to be marketed. Chris will take some work to get him ready. But good luck to both, they both deserve to be where they are.



Posted by: Anonymous

who cares. danny was the best of the lot. now that he is gone, it does not matter.



Posted by: Joy from Texas

I agree with many of the comments posted here that Adam's songs all began to sound alike in that he ended up screaming the high notes, which lacked showing us what he truly sounds like singing "normally." His singing became way too predictable.

Kris, on the other hand, has shown us he has real talent in playing the piano and guitar AND proved his range of singing skills by performing a variety of songs that did not all sound alike!

Kris has my vote and I hope he wins!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

adam looks/acts too much like the guy from "rocky horror picture show" and screams too much. adam needs to be in a band, not a solo artist. kris is good but kinda boring.



Posted by: Anonymous

Youre right, Kris is a little boring to listen to and a little hard to watch too with all the weird faces, alot like John Mayer. Btw Adam does not screach, if I had the range that he does Id flaunt it too!! :)



Posted by: Andersen

If you think the votes are all about talent, you're sadly mistaken. Kris is the man who not only has talent but demonstrates good old fashion moral values. Go Kris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Posted by: Diannie

How any one can like Adam, I don't get, he screams half the song, he looks like a freak.

And they should let Kara go, she is a terrible judge and that song she wrote was terrible!



Posted by: Anonymous

Oh Lord here we go again with the comments on "morals"...I had no idea people could be so close minded...it IS a singing competition, so please dont be offended if Adam wins.



Posted by: Anonymous

Go Kris! While I think Adam is the better singer, my vote goes to Kris. Adam is too theatrical and screams too much for my liking! I don't think I would buy an album of his. Kris on the other hand will probably put out an album that would appeal to more of America. Love his voice and down to earth way!



Posted by: Diannie

If it is a singing competition, then why was Adams performances all about "show", fog, walking down the stairs...then screeching out the song.



Posted by: Anonymous

I agree with Diannie 1000% about Kara, she is totally useless as a judge and just wastes time...and that song was horrible and too hard for anybody to sing.



Posted by: Darren

Did anyone notice that the judges wouldn't judge Adam on the way he sung the song(except Randy) cus it was horrible, so they said they would judge him instead. I thought the point was to judge their singing of the song. Go Kris!

American Idol is completely rigged! They made it clear that they want Adam to win. The last song they chose for Kris was completely out of his range and so unlike the style of music he sang all season. What they did to him really wasn't fair! Kris has my vote!!

You Adam fans..You are going to be totally shocked tonight. Wait and see. Kris is the New American Idol!!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

Kris may very well pull an upset tonight, we'll have to wait and see. Its going to be very close I can tell you that for sure. Both will do fine no matter the outcome.



Posted by: Jen

Regardless of the outcome, they both have it made in the entertainment world. Kris may look all american but he just does not have what it takes and I am afraid that small town boy might get gobbled up and that would be a shame. I would hate to see that happen. Adam on the other hand is already seasoned and probably can handle the situation better. He has talent oozing from every part of him. Kris is talented but is somewhat backward and not familiar with what can happen out there. I don't know if I explained myself but I would hate to see the kid turned around into something he's not. Besides if Kris loses he doesn't have to share his profit with anyone...it's all his.



Posted by: KATHY

YOU KNOW THIS IS A GREAT WORLD AND WE ALL ARE DIFFERENT IN EACH WAY AND THAT INCLUDES OUR OPINION I TOO THINK THAT THE WINNER IS GONE(ALLISON) TO BE 16 YEARS OLD SHE OUT DONE THEM ALL AND DANNY TOO SHOULD HAVE TAKEN KRIS'S PLACE, BUT THE END WILL BE SOON AND THEN AS WE WATCH ADAM TAKE THE CROWN NNNNOT BECAUSE HE IS OPENLY GAY AND THE GAY POPULATION "WILL" VOTE HIM IN BUT ADAM'S VOICE IS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO AND CAN TAKE ANY SONG AND MAKE IT HIS OWN, SO FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THE WINNER IS ADAM BUT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT CLAY ATKINS THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT THE 1ST RUNNER UP WILL TOO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT SO WHOMEVER SHALL BE THE WINNER THEY BOTH WILL PREVAIL, SO ALL OF YOU THAT KEEP 'HATING' TAKE A CHILL PILL WILL YA



Posted by: DeeDee

I think they are both very talented. But my vote goes to Adam. I think he is very entertaining. I think he is very genuine when he thanks everybody. Last night was the first time I ever heard Chris thank anybody. I would have to say that Chris' mouth is kinda weird to watch. Also, I think alot of the comments are very mean. People should try to be a little kinder to one another. Good Luck to both.



Posted by: Anonymous

I know what you mean Jen...I honestly dont look for Kris to win, and it actually will work better for both if he doesnt. Adam is ready for this and can hit the ground running once its over.



Posted by: Anonymous

I, too, thought all season it would come down to Danny and Adam. Like others have commented, Adam's humility no longer seems genuine. I am in music education and IMHO Adam is a great actor, has great stage presence and confidence, is an entertainer, has a fantastic vocal range and strong delivery, but I've grown tired of the screaming and the acting. He's good and he knows he's good and I believe he (and Simon) will be shocked if Adam doesn't win. However, I will be voting for Chris and I believe all the 'Danny' voters will also be voting for Chris, so Adam and Simon may be in for a shock tonight. In the end, I'll always be disappointed that Danny didn't have the chance to go against Adam and win it all!



Posted by: Anonymous

Knowing that you are good is called "confidence" and thats a good thing in this business, something that Kris never had. Adam is as true and genuine as Kris is, and never takes all the credit for his performances. Btw, does anyone else think that Danny reminds them of Spence on King of Queens? creepy!!



Posted by: Anonymous

ADAMS NOT GAY!. And if he is then thats his problem ok!.. Why do u people try to ruin it for talanted people... SCOTT!!



Posted by: Anonymous

kris all the way, adam is a phony bologna, too many accesories to even know who he is. with the hair and rings and ear rings and his trendy clothes,he's a screaming chamelian,I can not stand the way he screams every word it's too much. Now my boy kris on the other hand is the man no doubt



Posted by: BL

The way the judges' bias has played into America's voting, Adam the Screamer will probably win. However, I am hoping for an upset and to see Kris win.



Posted by: Anonymous

Well BL you got your wish. Im very proud for Kris even though my vote was for Adam. Its just sad to know that so many people voted for Kris because they thought that Adam was gay, or they didnt like his hair or his clothes...thats their choice of course, I just feel sorry for their ignorance.







This part is optional!
