Thank you AI for giving us the best year ever. I almost did not watch this year because it was getting a little rediculious that they could not find extremely good talent out of all the millions of people across the nation. I am in the music business and I run into backyard superstars all the time. It is really not that difficult. I do think AI spends way too much time trying to display the American Idiots for show factor. I would really like to see them air the really really good ones that got away. I am completely worn out with the TV appearances of the ones that possess absolutely NO talent, yet they make it thru to the final judging stage for the opportunity to go to Hollywood. This makes Americal look like our talent is far and few between and that is simply not true. AI is a talent competition not America's Funniest Videos...that show has a slot.

The top 10 this year were more entertaining and desireable to watch. But, Adam was in a class all to himself. He walked on from the beginning as a true performer. Everytime is sang it was amazing to watch and hear. He was like the "Star of the show" every night. I could hardly wait for the next performance. He is a true Rock and Roller. I believe he will rise to the top and raise the level of RnR fans with his unique style and amazing voice. I am sure the record labels are lined up to get his signature. Not winning is probably a better situation for him....he ismore available to the industry and not so locked into the American Idol's contract and stupulations.

The record sales will speak volumes over who was true winner. If it is true that Simon gets a percentage of the winners sales, then I can pretty much assume that Simon is dissappointed with the outcome and wishes they had retained the "Save the contestant" vote for later (imagine that happening on the finaly).

My prediction...Adam will soar and find a huge place in history as one of Life's all time performers. His talent is several levels above what anyone else has to offer. You will not see another performer like him for quite some time. History proves that this particular talent only comes along once in a while.

The other contestants were really good and possessed strong talent. Kris is so cute and sweet, he will make a great Pin-up for all the young girls to swoom over. He will also entertain us with his music as he has a wonderful talent, but he too could see the greatness in Adam. Most fellow musicians can recognize great talent and respect it. Kris won the popular vote, but he too knows that Adam is amazing and the talent part of the competition was his.....he said so in his comment. I respect Kris more for his honest comment. It takes a good confident musician to recognize a great one, and give credit where credit is due.

I am not really into Rock and Roll, I am a country music fan. But I can't wait to see Adam in concert one day. His voice captures my attention and leaves me wanting more.

I wish all of the contestants a successful future. Thanks for the best season ever.

KRISS IS JUST LUCKY.. HIS VOICE IS NOT ENTERTAINING... HE IS JUST A PLAIN NORMAL RANDOM SINGER ONSTAGE. HE DIDNT WIN THE CROWD. YES!, KRISS WINS IN AMERICA... BUT ADAM WINS THE WHOLE WORLD. ADAM ROCKS THE WORLD.... even if you didnt win ADAM, you are still our winner, our idol.. . A.S.I.A. loves you..

I love how everyone says Adam is pure and genuine. Did you see him in Hollywood? No guyliner or mascara. He actually looked good. Instead now he gets on stage and has all sorts of make up done along with his hair. Not very true to who he was at the beginning. Like others have said, he does have great stage presence but it could be because he has ACTED all his life.

Kris Allen’s own words after learning he had won “American Idol” echo my own sentiment: Adam deserves this. Allen recognized, along with a lot of others, the phenomenal, enigmatic talent of his competitor, Adam Lambert. No other competitor was even in the same category as Lambert. Allen shouldn’t be too humble, though. If Lambert hadn’t been in the competition, Allen would definitely have been on equal footing with his closest competitors (Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey). Now some in the media are suggesting that the Christian vote was the deciding factor in this Idol upset. They cite past winners like Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, and Reuben Studdard who are confessing Christians as evidence of this influence. Kris Allen and Danny Gokey were seen as the Christian finalists, while rumors and pictures that suggested Lambert was gay flooded the Internet and airwaves. Nearly 100,000,000 votes were cast for the final showdown Tuesday night. I do not know what percentage of those voting were Christians (at least one of those—OK, thirty-plus of those votes were from a Christian), but, theoretically at least, 100% of the voters were Americans. I contend that the deciding factor in the voting this season was not that Christians only vote for their own kind, but that Americans in general are losing their love for exceptionality.
Adam Lambert was exceptional. The judges regularly heaped praise on him. The other contestants constantly were forced to attempt to rise to his level of artistry and ability. Being likened to Adam by the judges was always a good thing. With the exception of that horrible song both finalists had the unfortunate duty to sing during Tuesday’s contest, every song Lambert sang became a unique masterpiece. From his sexy snarling rock power anthems to his tender, heart-wrenching love songs and everything in between, Adam Lambert could do it all, and do it in a way that was original, memorable and beyond compare. If any comparisons were to be made, Lambert would be likened to one of the truly great artists of previous generations—Elvis Pressley, Freddy Mercury, or even Michael Jackson. Phenomenal!
Kris Allen was unassuming and humble, not to mention, adorable. His performances on American Idol were hit and miss, but mostly hit. He was never flamboyant, but also, not incredibly original. His vocal prowess, by his own admission, was not in the same league as many of his co-contenders. However, he was voted the next American Idol. In a singing competition—a search to find the next big star—America chose not the exceptional, but the common.
America is on a downward trend toward the lowest common denominator. Not all firemen are qualified for a promotion in New Haven, Connecticut, so in order to avoid a racial uproar, no one is promoted, not even those who, like Frank Ricci, sacrificed and worked extremely hard to make an excellent grade on the qualifying exam. Students are no longer expected to strive toward mastery of difficult subjects like Latin and logic, but outcome-based goals have replaced true learning while cramming a one-size-fits-most education down their throats via compulsory attendance laws. The culture of political correctness has made it a sin to be the best, the brightest, or exceptional—someone else’s self-esteem may be hurt. If someone has great wealth, then he, by definition, stepped on all the little people and poisoned the planet to get it. (Of course, it would never occur to those that hold him in contempt that this rich man was innovative, hardworking, and willing to take risks that many would not dare.) So now our government has to redistribute his wealth to those slackers that didn’t work as hard, or make the same personal sacrifices. (It’s only fair, right?) There seems to be a spirit of jealousy and animosity driving this gravitation toward the mundane.
Did Kris Allen defeat Adam Lambert in a singing contest because he could sing better than his opponent? The answer to that is a resounding “no.” Is the media trying to turn this into a culture war between Christians and those who support a gay lifestyle? Probably, but in doing so they miss the significance of this. Kris Allen won because Americans, no longer proud to be “exceptional,” “the leader of the free world,” or “a city on a hill,” have come to despise anyone who exemplifies true greatness.

ADAM SHOULD HAVE WON KRIS DOES NOT HAVE A VOICE!!!!!!!!!!

ADAM ROCKS!! Thank you for the best season EVER!! I will miss not seeing you every week!!

heey i love addam ur fab im from the uk so my mum records it and every night i whatch it and heeeesss FFAABB!!!!!!!!! I REALY WANT HIM 2 WIN

LoveforAdam: It truly amazes me that people talk such garbage, are so judgemental and biased. AI is about talent and Adam Lambert has more talent in his little finger I dare say than you who speak such rubbish. He has been the most consistent week after week stepping up to whatever the theme with the most fabulous arrangements. He dares to perform rather than just stand there and sing. He has one of the most amazing voices that I have ever heard. I agree with Randy Jackson that he is one of the best who has ever been on that stage. No matter what happens in the finals, Adam , you have already won. You will be one of the biggest stars ever. I for one will back you 100%. My love to you Adam. You are a super star.

Adam is by far the most talented on every level and Kris is only still there for the same reason that mediocre performers like miley cyrus and the jonas brothers have a career... because of tweens! Would have like to seen Danny in the final two, but at least Adam made it.

Adam Lambert is the MOST RELEVANT AND TALENTED contestant in the entire history of the American Idol. Absolutely the BEST EVER!!!

Who cares if he is Gay or BI or just shy
he is a heck of a guy and is polite , sexy, honest and HELLO
he can SING ...................
So everyoone pick it up call in and VOTE ADAM ALL THE WAY

i agree that adam lambert is a good singer but he screams alot while hitting the high notes. he is good in screaming...

The great majority of ALL the AI contestants have had years of previous experience singing, recording, etc. It's just that ADAM is more talented and has the IT factor. He's HOT and deserves to win!

As a die hard 48yr old fan of Adam I have to say a few things to all those that think he is limited in talent...being a mother of a triple threat student at a college for the performing arts and in the musical theatre program I have to say that Adam has the whole package. Perhaps some of you don't realize the hard work it takes to get to the pinnacle that Adam has reached....maybe his music is not for everyone, but it's his showmanship and his stage presence that puts him above the rest, personally, I think he's the next best thing since David Bowie, but them I'm bais in that regard...and look at the way he entertained. Adam will be around long after others have fallen to the wayside of have had a one hit wonder. Getting back to my point, it takes years to master the art of entertainment, I should know, my son has been on stage for the last 16 years. There are so many facets to being a star...and Adam is there!

Adam, you are the best. I was totally upset with last night. There is no way that you should have been in the bottom 3. If AT&T was a mess up, it better be fixed by Tuesday. You are awesome. You rock every time that you are on stage. I can hardly wait to hear and to see what you are going to do. I have watched AI since it began and never has there been one person that I could not wait to see until this season and it is absolutely 100% Adam Lambert. The other contestants are not bad but to me there is no comparison when it comes to you. You should win it all or there is something not quite right. No matter how it goes down baby, you are a STAR!!!!!!!!!. I predict that you will outsell anyone who has ever been on AI. I will be the first in line. Love You

I think that Adam is way too polished for the show. He has had a lot of previous experience and is not what the show is really about which is having true amateurs come on the show and show us what they can do. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood were true examples of that. I'm not saying that Adam isn't good because he is, he just shouldn't be in this competition. Everyone knows he's going to win because he never screws up and that takes a lot out of the show for me. I don't want to see someone who is perfect every single week. If they took him out, then it would be very interesting to see who would win.

I cannot comment enough on Adam. He is hypnotic. He shows so much emotion in every song that he does. Not only can he sing but my goodness I was mesmerized by his dancing. I find myself very protective of him when someone says something negative. I know that his family must be very proud of him. He is humble, very gracious and professional. He has what it takes to be among the greats in music. You have my vote all the way. Can hardly wait week to week just to hear you. Go Adam, you are the American Idol in my book

Adam!!!!! Wow!!!! Just when, i think he cannot top his previous performance, he blows me away with a heart wrenching rendition and vocals that I just cannot say enough. Absolutely awesome. Love you

Adam is a great talent, but isn't he a bit too polished (e.g. years of professional experience) to be representative of a true, undiscoverd case of fame? And can't you just see the guy in Vegas, wearing a Cher outfit or impersonating some other outlandish persona?

He is just soooo over the top sometimes.

I love hearing what adam sings every week and how he changes it to be his. His voice is amazing.

YOU ROCK ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam absolutely blew me away again last night with Born to Be Wild. He is absolutely amazing. Loved him.

What happend with those comments, the smart people, advances country does not make diferences because of color of the skin or being bisexual, Hey You WHERE Are YOU FAR BEHaind advanced ideas .
GOOD Adams you are the best. However I Know Gorky, Allison and Kris will have an space in tne music world too.

There a big diferences between Adams and the regular contesters at A A He is an artist he can sing and performance. I am agree abuot Chris Daugherty He was the best in that seasson and never fogave the AA for that HORREN:::: finalwith the worst AA Taylor HUFF. But Adam is in a differente level than Cris no compare one is a good singer love his some buta Adam is a total artist , sings permance in a play or concert

It's obvious there's no helping you to understand, you could fill your empty head with earplugs and still fail to understand you have no taste.
I'd be glad to help you GO AWAY however.

i knew !
i knew all the judges are love adam !
and, i watched adam sing all time, all episodes and he is totally good in singing
and do you think he is hot ??
kris is hot you know !

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN IDOL that could even come close to incredible talents of Adam Lambert! Anyone with health senses can observer this huge buzz his brilliant performances are creating week by week not only in the US, but also around the world! ADAM IS THE HOTTEST ITEM ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW!!! And it is all well deserved! Adam you already know it , you have a huge fan base !! Keep it out! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Get off Adams nutz already. I hope people realize the obvious, Adam is what he is due to his experience in theatre and countless performances! Give the title to the one who deserves their dream come true: Allison Iraheta! She is so fresh and powerful; and she delivers an enthralling performance, given her age. She takes my breath away every time. And Danny delivers “in the pocket” performances each time; brought me to tears plenty. But Adam for America’s Idol? NO, I don’t think so. Adam will be okay, folks, if he doesn’t win AI. Some label will give him a record deal.

I HATE ADAM LAMBERT !!!!!!!!!
HE SHOULD GO HOME ALREADY !!!!!!!!!!
HATE YOU !
HATE YOU !
SEE YOU, LOSER !
