Glad you started this thread
I was just thinking should I start one called "Did America get it Right?"
Truthfully, I didn't watch the show too much this season, but did start paying attention the past couple of weeks,
One thing that was very apparent was that Adam was leaps above all the other competitors including Kris. I don't claim to be an expert or anything, but take out the looks of the two competitors and just listen to their voices, their range, their emotion and I would have to say Adam won.
Shocker, yes. Even though Simon can be a jerk at times, did you notice he was the only one that didn't get up and applaud the announcement? I think he felt that America got it wrong this time. Also, maybe my bias , but it didn't seem like the audience was fully behind congratulating him either. It seemed to be more of a 'polite' congrats.
I would really really really hope that Adam's sexuality did not play a role in the outcome, but unfortunately it makes you wonder when one person is leaps and bounds ahead of the winner and the lesser of the two is selected .
I guess the only real consolation is that I bet in a years time, America will know Adam Lambert's name from what he is going to accomplish over the next year, where Kris will have his record deal done and thats about it.
