gina b: The title of the article was right BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! For the Idol finale and for Kris Allen.Way to go American Idol voters!What a boring way to end an otherwise great season.Adam will be a star.We will forget about Kris in a couple of years.

It doesn’t have to be a couple of year. I already forgot about his every performances in a couple of minutes.

Bill Mitchell: On FoxNews this morning, Adam did NOT deny rumors that Queen has offered him the lead singer gig when asked by Brian Kilmead, he only pleaded the 5th.

But that would be stupid. He should have his own career, not become part of an existing group and just become a part of it. Way better on his own and create his own legend. He also said that on the extra vid.

enigmatica: http://www.fox16.com/news/local/story/Conway-reacts-to-Kris-win/sv8BNSsGY0G8GRZWSr0fRw.cspx“AT&T says about 38 million American Idol votes came from Arkansas last night. Chances are, most of those came from Kris’ home town of Conway.”About 38 million votes, out of almost 100 million votes. Roughly 38% of Kris Allen’s votes were from one state. Note to self: If I ever want a ridiculous advantage in a countrywide competition, move to AR before competing.

If this is the case, doesn’t that make him the Arkansas Idol instead. Sadley it could be true. I don’t believe the numbers are quite that high or that it was only Arkansa, but I do believe that a large amount of votes came from a mobilized group of fans. If anyone checked out the Kris allenation sight they would of seen that they had put together a step by step “plan of attack” to get the win. The only way Idol is ever going to make an Idol win legitimate is to make it so that power texting and dialing are not possible. Gizmo and things like it just muddy the results. They need to find a way to only count a certain amount of votes per phone line.
(Doesn’t America’s got talent limit it to ten online votes) Texting shouldn’t even be aloud. I think that Idol likes to be able to announce a “record number of votes” each year. Seriously how can that record hold up when it was the lowest watched finale ever? It is pretty disturbing to watch how these fans behave towards the end of the competition towards each other too. It becomes less about the singer winning and more about one fanbase beating the other fanbase. Limiting the fans votes could take care of this “We won’t let you win mentality’ and put the focus back on the singer.

Now about Arkansas- wow. Great they pulled it out for him but it pretty much shows that his support is limited to his state.

Last night was The Adam Show. He showed what a star he is. He looked and sounded glorious. I can’t wait for the tour!

And I have to give a big thumbs up for that incredible show last night. And the best of the best? Adam & KISS (surprisingly) & QUEEN & the Kris/Adam duet. Just fabulous!

A thumbs down though for the 35 million votes from Arkansas. That just proves that chosing a winner is not based on talent. It’s regional, it’s religious affiliation, it’s sexual orientation….all stuff that should be immaterial. Too bad.

Part of being a rockstar is struggling your way up from the bottom. In real life Adam has done that and now the “Idol” title won’t tarnish that.

If I had to read Adam’s body language on FoxNews, I would have to say that he is not upset IN THE LEAST he did not win. That there is one content man. It may, in fact be, that he was concenred about the Idol Title hurting his rock cred.

What surprises me most is not that less than 1% of the nation cast 38 million votes, but that more than 99% cast so few.

It makes no sense. When things make no sense, its because they don’t make sense – something is amiss.

Take this in light of the fact that Adam had 10 times the blog posts on American Idol’s website that Kris did, 5 times as many Google hits as kris and was ahead in every single online poll taken and it starts to seems even more improbable.

If you study statitics at all, you know that these types of population layouts just DO NOT occur.

IMHO no “probably” about it!

Adam has 10 songs (inlcuding duet with Alison) in the TOP 10 I-tunes chart. Oh and Kris has 6. Spotted a Gokey too -holytamoly!

Good for them both.
Kris might be Arkansas (whoops typo!) American Idol but Adam will be PLANET IDOL in the long run.
