The ironic thing? They BOTH got signed by the same label, and will BOTH be marketed by the American Idol machine. The only difference is that stupid song which didn't fit either singers.

Kris needed the win to get recognized, Adam needed the spring board to further his career.

I think both will be just fine.

Someone told me recently that it's not a singing contest. It never has been. It's a voting contest. Until they change the voting system, there will always be rabid fans who text 1,000 votes in a night. Until fans prove that they are going to be equally as rabid in buying albums and supporting the winner a year+ later, it will always be heavily flawed.
