Kris Allen wins American Idol

[Buffdog18]

Thank you!

[HeyRiles]

Not while I'm alive

[Goosezorz]

It was rigged. There was NO WAY Kris won, let's face it, Adam hit notes that the girls couldn't. What are your thoughts?

[Starfleet_Rambo]

....

[troywhalen]

My thoughts are that this has nothing to do with rockband.

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

Adam already won, in the same way that Clay Aiken won even though he lost.

[Luur32]

You dont want to know my thoughts about this post

Keep it on General Forums please

So? Just because he can hit high notes doesn't mean he's a good singer. Lambert's voice will be blown out in a few years.

[zack10house]

...yay?

I'm not surprised :p

[Death50]

First thought, who cares...?

Second thought is why here...?

Third thought is locked or moved...

Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore 2.

The relevance to Rock Band is ASTOUNDING.

[Starfleet_Rambo]

Adam Lambert will still have the career.

[ThrobingCane]

I got it right!!

me and like 7 others on the forum

[packerfan8675309]

whew, no one would tell me who won. Not all the Idol sites or anything, glad I came here to find out

[Der_Lex]

Moved it to general, although I'm not sure if people will care about it there.

Wait, let me rephrase that: I hope they don't.

[Cpt. Overkill]

Adam Lambert will still have the career.

Yep. He'll continue to write crappy music, and it'll sell well : /

Merged the two threads into one unholy half-monkey half-pony beast.

The plebs can continue their discussion of pop idol talent show shenanigans in here.

I'll bet the folks on the West Coast love you right now for posting this.

I think you used too many monkeys.

[frizzy_bj]

Woooooo hoooooooo!!!:D:D:D

LOL. I don't really care THAT much but it is cool to see an Arkansan win it!:D

[Der_Lex]

I think you used too many monkeys.

Considering the subject matter and the majority of its fanbase, it was inevitable. :D

[Alvarado6411]

Good. That guy has been on every shows topic, im glad he lost.

[zack10house]

I think you used too many monkeys.

Isn't it enough to know that he ruined a pony making a gift for you?

[Buffdog18]

I didn't care who one, but I knew this would make people mad! :D

[Transbrak]

I have no interest in reality TV or rigged contests.

[Bonez]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!

[Der_Lex]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!

Don't worry, it wasn't Onduvalst. Your 'pony' is still safe. :D

[tridentgum0]

This.

So rigged it's ridiculous. Remember that name, you'll never hear it after a week.

[HeyRiles]

Merging the two threads makes my initial post nonsensical

[Bonez]

Don't worry, it wasn't Onduvalst. Your 'pony' is still safe. :D

Whew...nearly gave me a heart attack.

I still don't know what Onduvalst has to do with my pony...we're not on together too often.

[Der_Lex]

Nonsensical... or more awesome?

Or both?

[Mex]

I'm kinda glad that the poser dude lost. He's better off doing musicals anyway.

Yes

C'mon...he's way more suited to musicals and theatrical work. Plus then he'll actually have an excuse to be a poser :D

Ha ha ha...careful now, we got alot of musicals here, don't want to put old Adam out of work :p

[Starfleet_Rambo]

Adam Lambert kissed some ugly dudes.

[murph]

I'm gonna pistol-whip the first person who suggests any of these American Idiots have songs added to Rock Band.

Okay, okay. Here's a clean version. :rolleyes:

I disagree. Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" would be an awesome addition to the Country genre on Rock Band.

[Daesania]

I dont know who any of these people are since I dont watch this show, but this Kris guy looks like he's 12.

The adam guy however, looks like he needs this tattoo:

His "fashion" style tends to dictate otherwise.

Emo checklist:
Black hair: CHECK
Black hair parted to go over their eyes: CHECK
Thick eyeliner: CHECK
Wears clothes a couple sizes too small, mostly in black: CHECK

We have an emo.

Watch out! Don't look him straight in the eyes, or he'll frighten and run away.

It's ok though because he's a poser. He's not REALLY emo. He just wanted the emo vote.

[moshun]

Canadians watch American Idol too? :p

[Daesania]

MEX get on MSN, my facebook is down :(

PS. Moshun, i <3 your siggy ;P

[Eric4372]

Vote for the Worst is the only way to make watching American Idol tolerable.

http://www.votefortheworst.com/

BTW, I didn't even care about this season or any of the people....I've given up after Sanjaya left two years ago. Not voting or even watching, lol.

And no, I am not someone who is advertising this site, I don't work there or anything, it's just a dumb message cause I'm sitting at home and have nothing better to do or post.

[moshun]

PS. Moshun, i <3 your siggy ;P

I <3 it too ;)

[onidragon]

I'd say it was rigged, but then I see America...

[Lizard_King]

It doesnt really matter who won. both will be successful. both landed huge record deals. both will be touring heavily for the next five years. the winner is all for show. when i went on rollingstone.com and read the blog (of course in shock of the pick), everyone was flaming on how "America sux Adam forever Kris blows" or something similar. people need to calm down. its just a tv show haha

[CommonCriminal]

I knew Adam would lose. So many people hate him because he is ***. Whatever. At least now he isn't under AI's control. I look forward to his first album.

I don't think that's why he lost. If you look at the demographic that votes they mostly wouldn't have a problem with it.

But way to make it a sexuality issue :rolleyes:

When you live smack dab in the middle of the South like I do, sexuality is the only reason people didn't vote for Adam.

That's cool, but where you live is not an entire country is it?

I'm sure if the US can vote in an African American President they could handle a homosexual American Idol.

He just lost, face facts.

Are you comparing someone's race to someone's sexuality? They are nowhere near the same. I know many people who voted Barack who didn't vote Adam because he was ***.

Homophobia is an American disease dude.

We ain't so tolerant a nation as Canada, yo.

Racial minorities are much more accepted in the US than homosexuals, so that's a pretty bad analogy (case in point: look at how many US states have outright banned homosexual marriages). Now if we had a homosexual president, that would be a different story, but that obviously didn't happen. Knowing America, I'd say his sexuality at least had some effect on the voting, though it's probably about as big a factor as his style, his singing voice, his fashion, and so on.

Yeah but it's offset by the magnitude of what it is. I'm sure people care more about who runs the country than they do who wins this popularity contest.

Still, bias is bias. Just look at how many black people have won/been in the top X versus how many openly homosexual people have won/been in the top X. The numbers are staggeringly different.

How many contestants are straight vs ***? I mean if 100 people try out and 1 person is ***, chances are the top 10 for example are going to be all straight.

I'm just not buying this conspiracy theory. People may have voted for Kris because they dislike Adam, but not necessarily because of his sexual orientation. For example, I rip on Adam constantly because I think he's a poser and he's better suited for musicals and theatre compared to a recording artist.

I didn't vote but if I had it would have been for Kris. I couldn't care less if Adam likes dudes or not.

[Spoonman00]

I would disagree. Around the Bush/Kerry election more people had voted for the winner of American Idol than that of the presidential election itself.

Pop culture has mostly dictated the opinion of the American people ever since it became a consumer culture. After all, citizens find television, movies and music more interesting and interactive than politics. Reality shows find immense popularity under this social rule, as most last much shorter than soap operas or other shows that require large amounts of background knowledge. Knowing in the moment, reality in television, compels the average consumer's attention. And a show like American Idol is the epitome of this tendency.

Not that American Idol is a bad show, but to garner the magnitude of attention it currently holds puts it in an unfavorable light to those who can see beyond the ridiculousness of the situation, those who do not watch or vote.

So let me ask you this, do you think Adam Lambert winning American Idol would have been a more significant event in history than Obama becoming president?

[SETH3]

Kris is a 1,000,000X better singer than Adam, because when he sings he makes it original.

You know what I liked about American Idol this season?

They had Santana on the finale show.

That's It.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Well, on American Idol you can vote more than once, so the president election comparrison is invalid.

When did anyone say anything about a conspiracy? It was more about the bias certain voters had against Adam, and there's definitely bias against him.

[Runesmith]

Yeah. People are fooling themselves if they don't think Adam's sexuality did not play a significant part in the voting process.

I'm ambivalent towards the show, but I think it's pretty pathetic that people are not able to get beyond such a irrelevant quality in this case.

There were a few people earlier in the thread saying it was RIGGED. That would be a conspiracy.

Like I said before, there are other reasons for people to dislike the guy, I gave one example earlier already.

I think there are people that wouldn't vote for him because he's *** but I don't think that's why he lost. You're also not even considering the fact that there may have been votes FOR him just because he's ***.

My point in this was that I didn't think he lost because of his sexual preference. But there are a few Adam fans in this thread that make themselves feel better by claiming something unfair is going on here.

This contest has been a popularity contest since it's inception. Why is anyone surprised about it now?

[Zidane]

*** bashin' is the new Black bashin'.

[gmarsh]

they all fail, but adam failed the most, I'm glad!
People say the polls were rigged, I disagree, I think most of america came to their senses.

How come all the American Idol winners came from The South?
