Dayle in Guatemala Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm not. I loved Adam and I loved Kris. I think it came down to who Danny's voters went to. What if they would have waited until Danny got voted off to use the save? Could they have done that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 What if they would have waited until Danny got voted off to use the save? Could they have done that? It was only valid until the top 5. I'm thrilled that Kris won, but I'm actually shocked. Oh me, of little faith. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2ncr Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The "save" could only be used up until there were 5 people left I think. I'm sure a large bloc of the Idol voters thought Adam was a bit too extreme, or at least too theatrical (he was in the LA production of "Wicked"). I did not like the song Kara co-wrote though and I hope some professional production will help it out. It reminded me of Miley Cyrus's new song.

MomofSeven Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Adam as talented as he is just didn't have enough mainstream appeal. Kris on the other hand, is crossover country/pop. I always thought Adam was the most talented, but would never in a million years by his album - too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) I thought he had a really good chance, since last week Ryan said that there were only a million votes separating the top two, and probably a lot of Danny's voters would now turn to him, like me. Although I liked Danny from the beginning, about halfway through I really started liking Kris. He's definitely more original than Danny. Last night I was listening to his "Heartless" and "Falling Slowly" on youtube just because I liked them so much. Depending on what kind of CD he makes, I may buy it.

Those winner songs are always so cheesy. Do you remember last year they had several winner songs to choose from. That way they could select a song more suitable for their voice and range. I think that's the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm happy for Kris. But I'm sad Adam didn't win. They both deserved it. Wendy, You're exactly right! They both seemed like really great guys. I didn't mean to imply that Adam didn't deserve to win. Kris is just more my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping In Puddles Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Something I really like about Kris is that he plays guitar and piano so well and writes his own songs - he is a great musician, singer and songwriter. He is also really cute... hehe I think Adam is a great performer and I really like his personality but his singing is a little screechy to me.

i.love.lucy Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Holy COW! What a show! C'mon! KISS, Queen, Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper, Carlos Santana, Lionel Richie...and Queen Latifah!!!!! :w00t: All on the same show! It was fantastic! I like Kris but would have liked Danny better. Adam is going to be a bigger star. I can just feel it. He has more raw talent and some producer will get ahold of him and know how to find just the right music. I predict a runner-up star a la Rueben/Clay. Great, great show!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momoflotsoftots Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I would have to say that it was the best finale I can remember!! My kids think I have officially lost it!! Who knew Mom could dance around the living room to Rod Stewart!! And woohoo for Cyndi Lauper! My husband had way too much fun with KISS!! OK, maybe they think Dad has lost it too! My kids had never seen anything like KISS before!! My ds10 was rotflol!!!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Adam is probably better off not being under the Idol contract. He will definitely "make it" big...Idol or no Idol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bess Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Adam is probably better off not being under the Idol contract. He will definitely "make it" big...Idol or no Idol. Right... just think, he'll get to pick and choose from SO many record companies clamoring to sign him. He'll make out VERY well not winning.

swimnactmom Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) I think Kris won because he is an "All -American" kind of guy. If you compare them vocally, there's no match. Kris is talented and sweet. Adam is a born superstar. Adam will be the biggest star ever launched by American Idol. -My (very strong) opinion/prediction!

happi duck Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Great show! So much fun...Cyndi Lauper, Santana, KISS...wow!! Adam is our favorite idol ever but we expected Kris to win. Kris looked stunned! Danny sounded GREAT tonight...he also has a bright career ahead of him if he chooses! No more idol? NOW what do we do on Tuesday and Wednesday nights?!!:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I am truly happy for Kris and his wife for the win. It was so sweet when he was given the car...he said that they needed a car so badly. Been there! However, I do think Adam deserved to win more, simply based upon raw talent. I know I would never want an entire Adam album, but I would turn up a song of his on the radio on a hot summer day with the windows rolled down. Adam will be a GINORMOUS star... ...and Kris will do very, very well. My DH said he'll make millions writing songs that can be played for years to come on that nighttime sentimental-fest radio show :lol: that plays on soft rock stations with "Delilah". Good season. Oh, my favorite part was actually that wacko with the dual personality. For some reason I just couldn't stop laughing. So ridiculous! And all of that talent at one show!!! Cool...

abbeyej Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I just loved how sweetly, genuinely humble Kris was to the end -- and I think Adam remained deeply gracious throughout (and occasionally even physically pushed Kris into the spotlight in the last few weeks, not allowing Kris' humility to keep him out of view in group shots, things like that). I know some viewed Adam as arrogant, but I think it was really more just confidence and comfort in his own skills -- which are undeniably *phenomenal*, even if his style isn't one's favorite. Anyway, I thought they were both amazingly talented, and I think the results show was fantastic. In the end, I think it worked out for the best for both of them.

When they didn't know who Rod Stewart was, I decided we should do Rod Stewart for music this week and forego our composer study.:001_smile: Not really (that comment got me a weird look from dh). I am SO happy Kris won, even though I like Danny more. I'm sure the top three will all be very successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimnactmom Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 When the accountant came with the envelope and blocked the 2 finalists from camera view, Adam moved into camera view pulling Kris along with him. I have a professional child actor who is well known. From being in this business I can tell you that many experienced performers would have stepped into the camera's view in that situation- but would not have pulled their competition along with them! That was a testament to Adam's genuine support for Kris. I commend them both for their respect and admiration of each other. That was awesome!!

JenniferB Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm a Danny fan. I didn't vote because I liked Danny so much. I guess my voting boycott didn't do anything though 100mm votes! Wow! Good for Kris. I love the way he hugged his wife at the end last night. I also love how shocked he was. It was a great night. I really liked all the performances too.
