Adam coming in 2nd place is an outrage. That is just not right.
And wow the Fox broadcasters in San Diego are terrible. That guy interviewing him was horrendous.
GRR I am still so angry over all of this!
By Lindsey , Posted May 21, 2009 4:25 PMWhat is wrong with America? TV viewers recognize American Idol as a singing talent contest open to all, regardless of orientation or religion. It is not a popularity contest among class of persons. In Season 8, Adam Lambert consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. America's vote for Kris Allen, or America's vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against various sectors of society that Adam Lambert appears to stand for. ADAM LAMBERT DESERVED TO WIN. Even Kris knows this within his Christian heart, so much so that when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved crown, he hesitated and then asserted in open public that "Adam deserves this..." -- in righteous adherence to glaring truth and instinctive repudiation of the unbelievable subsuming vote results. You could count many seconds before perplexed Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place his arm around Kris’ shoulder in encouragement. Adam Lambert is the true winner. On the other hand, should I instead ask… What is wrong with this American Idol TV Show?
