After watching the last episode (I didn't watch it live) I have a few comments/observations:

Allison is awesome and should of been 2nd. Adam is still God. Danny is better than Kris. Matt is better than Kris.

Kris looked like a shocked little farmer boy when he won. He commented that Adam should of won. There was just something really strange about the way Kris' family looked when he won, as if they didn't believe it either.

Adam Lambert's props to Kris when he won was so fake. I think honestly it was a setup for Kris to win and for Adam to not be bound by any contracts because he is going to get scooped up into some serious real music of his own with a recording studio.

America isn't advanced enough for people like Adam, sad to say but it's true. And to anyone who says he "screams" or can't sing etc, again I repeat that you obviously have zero music tastes and probably suffer from some kind of retardation. Every song he does he blows it out of the water, with the Queen duet, Kris' voice pailed in comparison to Adam's, actually all I heard was Adam.

Btw Kris had 2 good songs and a truck load of shitty ones. Like someone said here earlier all of Danny's voters went to Kris. People are blind. My moms friend who was Kris' biggest fan and has absolutely zero taste in music, admitted later on after the final that Kris isn't the best singer but she just "likes him so much either way".

So yea, to all these Kris fans and Adam haters, you honestly have no clue 😛

LOL. Yeah I actually think Matt might edge out Kris a little in singing talent. TBH, I don't like Adam's music as much as I like Kris', but if you have any clue about singing ability or talent or whatever this show is SUPPOSED to be about, Adam should be miles ahead, but oh well...

Ok I just rewatched the finale because I missed the first hour and I nearly barfed when Fergie sang. She' so bad live just like when she sang that Fergalicious live once. Megan's hot stuff but she's pretty bad too. It was funny that Fergie was actually worse when she came out for that segment.
 
from perezhilton:

America actually really does love Kris Allen more!

Kris and publicly closeted queer Adam Lambert both were forced to release their versions of the shiteous Kara Dioguardi song No Boundaries as their official first singles, but Kris is outselling Adam by a mile.

The singles war, according to Soundscan [owned by Nielson], has Kris leading Adam by over 100,000 copies sold this past week!

The exact tally:

Kris Allen- 134,458
Adam Lambert - 35,984

Damn! Bitch is getting beat!
 
Just shows that those who like the Adam Lambert kind of rock performer are not inclined to buy such a shitty song.

The song is so gross, I can't imagine actually wanting to buy it.

I agree. I heard the Kris Allen version once, and that was plenty for me; I never want to hear it again, let alone buy it. That really stinks, because usually the first single is evidence of the American Idol dream coming true and that person becoming a true recording artist.

I don't think this one craptastic single is any evidence that America loves Kris Allen more. 115,000 of those purchases were probably made from Arkansas anyways 😛

I'm not sure which is more pathetic, how much you hate the winner of American Idol, or the fact that you took all that time and effort into typing it out on a tech forum.

I agree.

I know Adam is obviously the superior talent, but I'm not butthurt over his losing. Honestly, Kris is one of the few that could have won a contest like AI. I'd prefer Danny or Matt to have won over him (being that they fit the AI mold, and are better than Kris).

It's not that America is too dumb or scared; it's that the AI demographic is scared, inexperienced for a guy like Adam. Nothing to cry over, I'm sure your fantasy boy will live forever on in your dreams.

If anyone is interested; Fox is currently playing a repeat of the Top 13 - Michael Jackson episode.

Alexis Grace is in this episode. :heart:

Hope it isn't true. I like Paula a lot more than the new girl and the black "dawg" dude.

She really didn't bring much to the table, other than a tall glass of gin and tonic.

That's the way I felt. She would open her mouth, and words would come out, but she really wouldn't be saying anything.
 
American Idol Season 8 finalist Danny Gokey is going a little bit country.

The singer, who finished third in the reality competition, has signed a record deal with 19 Records/RCA Nashville, according to USA Today.

Avril Lavigne Will Guest-Judge American Idol

Gokey's deal marks the first time in Idol history that the entire final four contestants on the reality series have been cut record deals.

In June, contracts were announced for winner Kris Allen, runner-up Adam Lambert and fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta.
