I think that all those that voted against Adam should give there head a shake-it is a singing contest-did you guys not have the sound up when you listened to the show. I am not taking anything away from Chris but Adam is 2x the singer. Congrats Adam on losing-you will go 2x as far without the American Idol label behind you-just give Chris Daughtery a call!

It must be Christmas to the American Idol viewers because they certainly gave Chris a gift. First of all, if should have been Danny and Adam as the final two. To make matters worst, Chris won?! Okay, Adam sang cccccciiiiiirrrrrcccccllllllee eeessssss around Chris! ADAM IS MY WINNER! Adam's music will rocket. Whoever signs Chris be ready to find a warehouse larhe enough to hold his unsold CD's. He was just not "memorable.:

I agree with Chris when he said, Adam deserved to win. But this shouldn't be a surprise cuz other than Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson AI viewers love voting for ordinary and boring people that can sort of sing. Adam is going to be a star but Chris will probably end up like...Taylor Hicks just a memory.

Nah, Kris won't be a taylor Hicks sorta case.. Kris is big controversy now.. Why do ppl like getting the expected??? ANyway, I prefer Kris & am glad he won.. Cuz' Adam really is overrated, over the top & over confident.. He's such a turn-off..

I don't spend much time watching "American Idol", but I will say since I've been watching it the past couple of weeks, I am so glad that Chris won (Chris was definitely my choice). With this said, CONGRATULATIONS, CHRIS!

eyedrain said: "Adam really is overrated, over the top & over confident.. He's such a turn-off.."
Which I think explains it all why Adam didn't win.

America got it right last night! Diva's are wonderful in Vagas and Broadway but I wouldn't download them or attend their concert.
Adams works will with pagentry and gliiter smoke, feathers, and pyrotechnics. I'll agree they both could sing. But for the music purists..... I'd rather listen to someone who doesn't make my skin crawl.

Adam far superior, to bad religion once again screws things up, Imagine there's no Heaven, it's easy if you try, no Hell below us, above us only sky, vot for the best Idol, not for religion too, you may say I'm a dreamer, think about it, bummer.

Although Adam was the annointed one. I don't see him doing much more then perfoming songs other people write.
For some reason I believe Kris Allen can actually write a decent song using his own talents. I'm glad Kris won because he deserved it more.
