they both get to do albums so winning is just a formality. I didn't follow well this season (and didn't bother to watch the finale), but I liked Kris, he seems in keeping what out there today, he'll probably do fine. Adam isn't my thing, but he can pretty much do what he likes now.
I know Adam will be okay, but I think it is telling on how far we still haven't come that a man who is more or less openly gay (even though he hasn't come out and admitted he was) can't win this competition.
I'm diappointed, but Adam said in an interview last night after the results that he's already had a few offers.
I went and looked at some of the comments in the blog post I'd linked to yesterday and there were a lot of people saying that he didn't deserve it because he was gay.
There was a lot of people posting tweets yesterday on twitter basically saying the same thing. I guess we can vote a black man president, but still think it's okay to bash gays.
He made it to the final 2 and over 100 million people voted, so its some progress, i guess baby steps...it says something he got as far as he did, and more people voted than ever. He's very talented, not my taste, but i'm sure he'll do well. Its not like an openly gay man has never been a music superstar:)
Yes. It was DISGUSTING to see the fundamentalists preaching from the pulpit how they COULD NOT LET THE GAY WIN. WTF? Now AI is being used as a political tool of the far right crazies? It's made of so much fail, I can barely take it.
I think a lot of the reasons that David Cook won last year wouldn't apply this year because the 'cougars' that voted for David would be turned off by a gay man.
My daughter was talking to a friend at school and she said how cute she thought Adam was and she loved his voice, her friend was 'Ew, gross... why would you like someone who's gay?'
*shakes head sadly*
But then again, I like in Joe Scarborough country, probably some of the most backward people I think I have ever met.

We still have some way to go.

He'll be fine. I know you didn't like him, but I adored him.
I will get his first CD.
