Are SOME American Idol Voters Deaf?
Being a huge Cub fan I’m use to losing, but seeing Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert tonite I was not prepared for…are the folks that voted for Kris deaf, stupid or or just have an agenda? What were u really thinking? I cant wait to read what the media has to say…
My wife, very good friend and I were stunned when the verdict was announced. Just to be clear we do not agree on everything, heck were Republicans and Democrats.
Our opinions are simple, we are sad for Kris not Adam…Kris knows he is not better (at least he had the class to admit it on stage) and will have to live with that forever. Heck he is not as good as the girl with red hair. So if you voted for Kris think about all those IDOL shows the next few months where he will be greeted warmly and Adam will get all the praise except in Kris’ own or neighboring states. Kris will take pride in his accomplishment but always look over his shoulder and see Lambert. And be known as the guy who really should have been Avis…not Hertz.
The show producers should have been celebrating about a great season and awesome closing show that was lost in the results. Now they have a huge problem…they can’t trust the American public anymore and they can’t change the rules because that will make Kris and show look worse. Our guess is also fans will not invest their time and energy next year because if the most talented may not win again…so why watch? Sponsors will feel the same way…especailly at $1.3 million per 30 second spot. Adam was one of if not the best ever in 8 seasons, so they will probably not catch lighting in a bottle again.
This is the first in 80 columns I for one cant tie the draft subject to Avnet, sorry but I’m morose and too stunned…
Ok I do not want to break the streak…the only thing that perks me up is I work for Avnet and not for a competitor.

Al: I totally agree with you, on every single point. Wow, how weird is that?
Lightening in a bottle is the perfect description of what they had with Adam. It sure made things way less boring this season which is exactly what that show needed.
Good for Kris for manning up and admitting on stage that Adam deserved it. Class act.
Lol at your last light. Go Avnet. There, now I’ve tied my comments into work, too.
