Could someone tell me the reaction of the judges....
I caught a brief glimpse of Simon. He was sort of staring into space. I think he was stunned
and probably a bit P.O.d ?)

I wonder what kind of contract the runner-up has to sign. I'd like to think that coming in second will actually work out better for Adam than winning would have. (And I think that winning will help Kris more than coming in second would have.)

I turned off my computer early because we have had a bad thunder storm and
tornado warniings, it has quietened down with just heavy rain now.
Sounds like you all had fun and a big surprise. I knew my one vote for
Kris would do it.
They do waste a lot of time with rubbish though.
Good Night All,

My hubby was totally shocked that Adam didn't win. I told him from things that I was reading today at various places seemed that Kris definitely had a shot. Some people didn't like Adam as much because of his "screaming" or being more theatrical, and unfortunately, some even were against him because of his suspected sexual preference. As far as I'm concerned Adam was the best talent by far, even though I did like Kris. I do agree that Adam will not have to worry about having a successful career. If anyone watches the video of the show, I saw one of the members of Queen put his arm around Adam after their song, and it looked like he was telling Adam how great he was. Oh well, all I know is that I'm not nearly as upset as I was when Clay came in second!!! Well, I'm tired and going to go to bed. Have a great evening everyone, and congratulations to Kris. He seems like a wonderful young man.

Oh, well - another year where the person who came in second will be more successful than the "Idol"
Thank goodness I am over Idol and watch just for fun! If Allison does get to make a CD, I think that will be the one I will want to buy.

I'm shocked that Adam didn't win. He was a class act and has a beautiful voice, great looks, great artistry, the whole package. I'm not watching Idol any more. He was discriminated against. Danny voters moved to Chis to keep Adam from winning.....

I voted all evening for Adam. Adam will do just fine. Kris needed this more than Adam did. They are both very nice young men and I am happy for them both.
I will definitely buy Adam's cd and Allison's. Those two are extremely talented.
I enjoyed the show last night - a lot of good entertainment. Hey, its American Idol, what did you expect??

A trained monkey can singer better then Kris. Hell, If I was not 38 I would audition to be on AI, as I sing a hell of a lot better then Kris. Kris reminds me of a bad karaoke singer. Adam will be 1000x more successful then Kris. They should rename American Idol to Pretty boy Idol.

Well, that was a shocker!
I really thought Adam was going to win it this year, so when Ryan said Kris' name, my mouth just flew open,
until I remembered that I didn't really care away.
I've been so disinterested in Idol, I haven't even watched the whole finale yet, I taped it on one TV and only half watched it on another, I think I'm really getting tired of Idol, the way they've always treated Clay, especially now making up rumors about him, (I knew he wasn't trying to reach out to Adam! What on earth would those two sing together?
Thank goodness Justin Guarini confirmed it was all a bunch of crap and Clay wasn't thrown out of the Idol building,
it just bothers me that people actually believe that stuff, so much so, that they were talking about it on the radio here after Bill Zwecker's "article" appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times.
) Anyway, after that, the judges antics that I'm so tired of, (how many times can they claim to have the "most talented and original" contestants year after year, isn't that demeaning to all the wonderful talent they've had in years past? This has bothered me since Clay's season, and I didn't like Simon calling Adam the most original contestant ever, when he sang a song he'd already done over again, "Mad World" when David Cook on the other hand was
so
original, he wouldn't repeat a song on the finale.
) and with the only so-so talent this season, it was hard to really get excited about anyone. Even the finale seemed like the "poor mans" version of the two Davids all over again.
My final thoughts are that Adam was totally robbed,
he was the best this season, but he'll still have a great career.
Maybe not winning
will
work out better for him? Who knows? And there is something to the fact that maybe he was
too
much of a professional to win, being with Wicked and all, and maybe America wanted more of an unknown to win, maybe they were tired of Adam being the favorite and feeling like they were being told who to vote for, like Clay said in his lovely and interesting blog.
But I'm only guessing, because I didn't vote anyway.
Now Kris, I'm not upset that he won, he's a nice guy, he's cute, he can sing, probably a little forgettable, I can't imagine his career going too far, but good for him anyway. I'm kinda glad another rocker didn't win after David Cook, now he remains, at least so far, the only rocker to have won, his win won't be upstaged by Adam's, and he managed to do what Chris Daughtry and now Adam couldn't, by winning, and that makes me happy.
(To think that David C. got so many more votes over all the "Archie" and "ArchAngels", (i.e. David A. fans,) and Adam couldn't get more than the less-interesting-then-David-Archuleta, Kris!
)

As I've been saying over the past several months....(agreeing with SUNNY and LINDSAY) Adam is the one I want to see on stage; however I doubt seriously that I would buy his CD's. His voice grates on me at times, esp. when he goes into his falsetto. On the other hand, IMO Kris would be quite boring in a concert , but I will buy his CD's in a heartbeat because his gentle, easy style makes for good "chilling" music.
I couldn't agree more
Thea
!
You said exactly what I was thinking!
Anyway, I can't imagine that I'd follow either one of their careers, buy their albums or pay to see them live, but even without all of my help,
I still bet Adam will do just fine for himself and outshine the winner, and Kris, hopefully he'll have a good career too with Idol's backing. I wish them both luck!
For me though, I've already found my Idol, twice over,
and nobody compairs to the two guys in my avie!
Of course the best part of the night that I did see, was David Cook singing Permanent.
Thank you for posting the lyrics to that
beautiful
song
Michelle
!
My love and respect for David just keeps growing, for him to sing such a moving and deeply personal song for his brother, so soon after losing him...there's just no words.
What a great and amazing guy!

David Cook seems like a really decent guy. I like what I've seen.
I agree

And finally, Congratulations on the new job
