Who won American Idol last night?
Was anyone shocked by the outcome of the American Idol results show last night? It was the big final show to crown the new American Idol. Kris Allen won over Adam Lambert in what I thought was a shocking result. I am no fan of Adam Lambert’s music but I did think he had a big enough following to win the American Idol crown.
I think Adam had 2 things going against him going into the final show. One is that Danny Gokey had been voted off the previous week. I think a majority of Gokey’s fans went over to Kris Allen’s side after Gokey got voted off. Which to be honest would make sense, after all Kris’s music is more like Danny’s than Adam’s and if Danny’s fans weren’t into Adams type of music they probably voted for Kris.
The other thing that may have hurt Adam is the fact that he may be gay. I know people are saying all over the web that he’s gay because of pics of him kissing guys and he may be gay. Until he comes out and says it though one shouldn’t assume that he is. But if he is gay and that is a reason someone used for not voting for him than that’s just sad.
To think in the year 2009 that you have people so homophobic that they don’t want a gay American Idol, its just a sad depressing thing to think about and shame on you if you didn’t vote for him simply because you thought he is gay.
Adam will have an enormous career ahead of him, and, I’m afraid Kris will fade into oblivion, just like Reuben Stoddard.
