This has got to be the BIGGEST UPSET in American Idol history - Kris Allen winning over Adam Lambert?! What the hell went wrong?!?!I kinda expected that this will happen because of many reasons but I would've understood if it was Danny Gokey in the finale and he wins over Adam 'coz I know Gokey has a huge fanbase, too. But before I get there, I wanna mention the reasons why I believe Adam should've won.
Reasons why ADAM LAMBERT Should've Been the American Idol 8 Winner
- He has been the MOST consistent out of all the contestants, heck even compared to those from past seasons!
- He NEVER had a mediocre performance EVER.
- He is a TRUE artist. He made me love songs that I never liked before or haven't even heard of.
- He is multi-talented. He was the only American Idol contestant who didn't dance with 2 left feet during their dance performance with Paula Abdul's choreography.
- He has major control of his voice and he's really got a great voice.
- He hits unbelievably high notes like there's no tomorrow.
- He has undeniably the star quality to be an extremely successful artist.
Even though he didn't win, the major uproar over him not winning shows that he will be very successful and I know a lot of people will be lining up to buy his album. He's the Chris Daughtry of this season.
ADAM LAMBERT, YOU'RE THE TRUE WINNER FOR ME!
Okay, I said in my previous AI post that whoever wins will be okay with me. I only reacted that way 'coz I do like Kris Allen, too, but he didn't deserve the title. I watched the final performance night again to see if maybe I missed something but no, Adam Lambert deserved to win this season.
Kris' saying that Adam deserved the win was very respectful of him. Yeah, I guess that could be one of the reasons why people voted for him. But because he won over Adam Lambert, I can't help but think that there are a million other reasons why more people voted for Kris than Adam.
Possible Reasons Why Kris Allen won over Adam Lambert
- Adam Lambert's photos where he was kissing another guy were all over the internet. This confirmed that Adam is gay. It's even evident when he performs, especially how much he likes to dress up. I tried to not even mention this fact on my previous AI posts but I guess that doesn't matter anymore.
- Adam Lambert is from California. If you don't know why I even mentioned that fact, then, you should find more time to read the news. California voters last year voted against Gay Marriage. Yes, they are a bunch of homophobes. Okay, not all of them but obviously, majority of them are homophobes. And please don't give me bullshit like marriage should only be between man and woman 'coz that's what God wanted. Who wrote the Bible in the first place? Argh. Self-righteous people. Sheesh. It's a singing competition, not a morality show.
- Most Americans are still prejudiced against homosexuals and I don't think I'll see the day that they'll finally accept gays in society. They've already gone past racism with Barack Obama winning so I'm just praying they will, too, get past their hate against gays getting married.
- Most, if not all, of Kris Allen's votes are anti-Adam, not pro-Kris, if you know what I mean. There was even news over the web that Kara Dioguardi was asking Danny Gokey fans to vote for Kris Allen so Adam won't win. Remember how upset and sad she was last week when Danny was eliminated? I wouldn't be shocked if she did say that to Danny's fans 'coz she's so tactless. If she really did that, oh my. I hope she gets kicked off the show 'coz really, she's just a nuisance. She's like a female version of Randy trying to be Simon Cowell.
All my picks to win American Idol, The Celebrity Apprentice 2 (Annie Duke) and America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 (Allison) didn't win. For Hell's Kitchen, I'm glad Danny won over Paula. And I'm also glad that JT won in Survivor Tocantins although I would've loved Stephen to be the winner 'coz he was the brains of the whole JT-Stephen-Taj alliance. JT was only carrying out his orders. I love them both so I'm okay with that.
I'm waiting for So You Think You Can Dance for my reality show fix. Almost all of reality shows that we're watching ended these past 2 weeks. Even my fave series CSI (NY & Las Vegas), Grey's Anatomy (ack, what happened to George and Izzy), and Supernatural all just ended their seasons. It's gonna be another dreary quarter of waiting for all of them to go back on air with a new season.
Going back to AI, I don't think I'll ever get over Adam losing but I believe he'll be more successful than any other American Idol contestant. I'm looking forward to his album.
Kris Allen, I don't hate you for winning but I hate the people who voted for you just because they don't like or they hate Adam Lambert. Congrats, anyway.
Update: I've already moved on from Adam Lambert not winning and I'm actually glad that he's not gonna be stuck with the American Idol contract. He can do whatever he wants after the tour. He's a big star now, bigger than anyone who won American Idol.
By the way, I heard people rooting for Kris Allen as he is the underdog this season. If it was Danny Gokey and Kris Allen in the finale, I'd accept that excuse for voting for Kris. But I kinda understand the Kris Allen win a bit 'coz he was the boy next door who ended up in the final 2 even when he had the least exposure out of all the contestants. He's just too nice and people like that. And he had no musical or performance background at all, compared to Adam so I guess that's why people voted more for him. Plus, I think Adam fans thought that he's already a sure winner. On the other hand, Kris' fans knew they had to vote more 'coz of how talented Adam is.
Enough about the finale. I've already accepted the results and I'm looking forward to Adam's career.
america,
ReplyDeleteyou are soooooo wrong.. tae
kris divorce ur wife.. u suck
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. I agree with everything you've said and ADAM SHOULD HAVE WON. I love Adam, and he will be great.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I've been seeing all around the internet... people all think Adam lost because of his sexual orientation, saying Americans are so close-minded.
ReplyDeleteSometimes being different doesn't mean being good btw. I got tired of Adam's singing, he always tried to do high notes which got very annoying after a while.
Plus I do not think he'll make it big in the music industry. Either a bunch of emo teenagers or gays (Gays. Not insulting or anything.) will buy his CD. Just because you enjoy his type of music doesn't mean the world do too.
You talk like Adam's sexual orientation didn't affect the vote. It's ironic that you said those last lines, especially "Just because you enjoy his type of music doesn't mean the world do too". But you expressed your hate on Adam like that's how everyone should feel about him. Your opinion is tainted by your close-mindedness. At times, Adam's high notes gets irritating, yes, but that's his style and even without it, he's still the best singer... better singer than anyone else this season. That's why he should've won. If that ain't true, people won't be talking about how Adam was wronged by those who voted for a Kris Allen victory.
ReplyDeleteI love Kris, too. And I don't hate him 'coz he won 'coz that's not really his doing. I was even rooting for him since the beginning of the semi-finals. I just believe that Adam should've won over him.
Adam's sexual orientation is clearly a big factor on the vote. Otherwise, it won't be a topic for discussion all over the media, especially on the web. Plus, Kris received more anti-Adam votes than pro-Kris. There were even groups of Danny Gokey fans who swore to vote for Kris just to see Adam lose.
Adam clearly had more fans than Kris Allen. Even Kris was a fan. Adam is more popular now than Kris so that shows that he could've won if not for the haters' votes.
Anyway, I'm past Adam not winning. I just pity Kris now 'coz he can't fully celebrate his victory 'coz of all the talk about the win being tainted. Adam is getting more exposure so I'm happy for him and I know he'll go far.
Lastly, your comment that only emo teens or gays would buy his records show how prejudiced you are. You should've just kept your thoughts to yourself.
