People are so immature sometimes. I want people to talk about how Kris won, not how Adam lost. Or just act civilized, you know. It's like the whole year of Kris' awesomeness was erased.
But then again, this is the Internet. Shouldn't put too much faith into it in the first place.
(I spied Matt jumping up and down when Ryan called Kris' name, lol.)
I know what you mean, it's the only time since season six that a contestant I really liked went on to win, and it does feel like no one's really allowed to celebrate it because we're all having to look at The Bigger Picture Of What It Means About Tolerance And Prejudice.

Yeah, since when AI is a place to discuss social issues? For serious. I mean I can see the show as a culture trend or something, but most of the reasons people bash Kris' victory are unfair. The guy didn't do anything but performed and sang his heart out. And we'll never know. Maybe Kris wasn't really that much of a dark horse as TPTB wanted everyone to think. He wasn't even in B3 until Top 5 or something. And according to Billy Bush's twitter (lol), the votes between those two were not even close last night. That being said, I understand that the backlash just comes with the territory, and I accept that. I just hope it won't last long.
LOL. I totally ranted. It's been a while that I did that. Sorry. :)
Heh, don't worry. It is an awkward situation, because I completely respect the argument that there was definitely a contingency who voted for Kris for the wrong reasons, but I don't like the assumption that liking Kris and being happy he won means you're blind to what that means, or even worse, that you somehow approve of it. Broad brushstrokes like that don't do anyone any favours.
Yes, you said it better than I ever could. I just hope that it was just a phase, and people who are pissed right now would let it go and move on. Kris doesn't deserve to have to deal with this BS.
SERIOUSLY. I don't like the stigma going on that a vote for Kris was a vote for homophobia or conservatism or for Satan or Jesus or WHATEVER: couldn't a vote for Kris be a vote for KRIS?? :-\
And what bugs me is that if Adam won, I'd be jumping and shouting with happiness because they're both such fantastic musicians and amazing PEOPLE who deserved to win. Someone had to win. And Adam fans should be following Adam's example and being happy for Kris.
I'm just really happy now and I don't want this ish to harsh my squee. :D
I wasn't even hoping for his win. I, like Kris, just went along for the ride. It's just sad to see so many people turned this into politics and stuff that aren't even relevant. I would be happy for Adam as well if he'd won, just because he too stays true to who he is and remains awesome while doing so. It's just Kris time now, and we should be allowed to celebrate it for what it IS, not what it isn't.
I had to stay away from the Internet a while because all the backlash is just insane! It's like they suddenly forgot about his amazing performances throughout the season. I would have been fine with Adam winning as well. Adam's fans just feel they lost the sure thing while Kris' fans didn't even expect that this was possible.
I love the Allens, and he is super cute with his wife on Seacrest's radio show. &hearts
