Top TV Stories of 2009: Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen

Lambert has always given me the creeps. His screeching is more than a little bit annoying. It's a shame, the media loves to focus on those who shock. Talent has nothing to do with it. It doesn't take talent to screech into a microphone while simulating sex on stage and then give the audience the middle finger.

I love GOOD music and true talent which does not need disgusting gimmicks. Kris will make his mark in the music industry and appeal tho those who "count," rather than a bunch of middle-aged ladies (Sparkle Cows) who are a throwback to the Claymates, only darker and stranger (if that is even possible.)

I was posting this in response to something Kerry posted but that was on Page 2 and she may not see it so I am going to post it on this page for her.

Kerry I hope Adam and Kris are shown all of this that you are writing. I bet you anything that Adam would not be pleased of what you are accusing Kris, His family and any others of doing. You are trying to hurt someone and his family cause you are mad Adam didn't win. That is just cruel. If you want to blame someone blame the lazy Adam fans in California who couldn't get off their butts and vote for him. You see the fans in LA have this tendency not to get behind their home town idols think back to season 5 with Katharine on her trip home for final three. Hardly no one showed up for her in LA and they didn't come out and vote for her either. LA people can be snobs and just don't vote even if they love the person. Also if you want to blame someone blame the idiots that were doing the vote for anybody else than Adam. Those people are jerks and it is not Kris's fault that there were people like that voting for him. Also for the last thing blame American Idol for not going to the voting system like Dancing With the Stars has. This is a better way of voting and it also helps the voter not have to be on the phone 2 to 4 hours voting. See there are plenty of things you can blame but you can't see that you just want to blame Kris and his family for everything. I voted for Kris and Adam all season cause they were my favorites from the start I wanted a freaking tie but I sadly didn't get it. One last thing you calling people that like Kris names is not making you look very good. People can like more than one type of voice. I happened to love both Adam's and Kris's.

ETA: If you are going to write a book on this season then you have to write one for season 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cause many people said there was questionable things in all seasons!! If you don't do this then people know you are on a which hunt to hurt Kris plain and simple and you do not care at all. As long as you hurt the person and people that Adam has gotten to know and cares about then you are happy.

I find it funny that nearly everyone who thinks Lambert should've won and lists several conspiracy theories as to why he didn't has multiple spelling errors in their posts, it shows their true intelligence. Bottom line, Kris is more musically inclined and appeals to a broader audience, many people (including myself) found Lambert to be over the top and obnoxious in his performances. And it's certainly a FAR reach to say that Lambert is dominating the charts. As recent as about 30 minutes ago his single sat at #93 on iTunes, Kris' at #30, also Kris is higher on the Hot 100. Honestly, it's been 7 months Glamberts, give it up already.

loved that Kris won.. he's my favorite... I have love for Adam too, but I just am blown away by Kris! He is so amazing!

I dont think it matters one iota who won Idol. Both artists are super talented, and exceptionally good looking, but neither has found their groove in the music industry against huge long established artists. Not yet! Both are really nice guys, have a lot to learn and a way to go.

My last comment wasn't posted, so I will try again. I am upset because I think Adam is still being blacklisted. I never hear any of his music on the radio. Now we are being told that his performance on Gridlock for New Years Eve won't be televised. If we are ever going to be able to let the past go, then the present powers that be have to let Adam have his time on air. We want to hear, and see him. Gridlock needs to be televised , and Adam's music needs to be played on the radio. This blacklisting has to end! ShameOnYouABC for blacklisting Adam Lambert! Let Kris have his title without complaints if we can have Adam on more often.

LeMarie, thanks for the info on Kerry Kolsch. I will Google her myself! I've worked in law firms for years, and there are good & bad lawyers ~ but this one, if she is one, is a joke!

I've made this same comment to friends numerous times, as much as I hated the outcome at the 'moment', it didn't take me long to realize it was the best outcome for both. I truly believe that Kris couldn't possibly have competed with the likes of John Mayer, Michael Johns etc. had he not won and had the Idol machine helping him. Such as it is, I do have to agree that the Idol machine is still MAJORLY backing Adam as if he HAD been the winner. In fact all 3, Adam, Kris and Allison signed to 19 are benefiting from the fact that 19 OBVIOUSLY felt that they were all worthy of support.

I do think that season 8 is over,and I would move on, but it is very upsetting to me that Adam is still being blacklisted in very subltle ways. Shit, it isn't even subtle! The fact that I never hear Adam's music played on the radio pissess me off. The fact that Adam will not be on TV for New Years Eve, pissess me off! I'm sick of the unfairness! That fact that Gridlock won't be televised, pissess me off. Adam was robed of the AI title that rightfully belonged to him, and now his fans are being robbed of seeing him perform om New Years Eve. When I saw Adam in concert it was Adam's concert. The whole place knew who the star was. It was unbelievable.

I don't understand how it happened but I agree it has worked out best for both artists. I really think that Adam has left AI in the dust and needs to keep going away from that program to fully expand his career and potential. It could have been a conspiracy and it could have been hedging bets on how to best move Adam forward. It could have been Disney/fox interferring it could have been many things. In the end, it has worked out except we can't see Adam on the TV on NYE!!! That sucks and has taken ABC off my TV permanently.
