Actually, i was thinking about this about him. Queen needs to hire him ASAP. He'd be perfect.

---

And he sounded great with Queen.

didn't you also call the Queen thing too?

and again, the production value was all their for adam...the fireworks, KISS. meanwhile, kris gets a quiet duet with keith urban in the first hour? lame...

ha....beat me to it

i am really surprised that ANYONE would want paula over kara. kara actually has somethin to say whereas paula will just gush about how special they should feel after every performance. i hope paula is gone and kara stays

Really? Kara essentially dittos Randy every single time!

+1 for thinking Lambert should front Queen

+1 for the KISS production value over Allen's duet - the bias was in (Simon wasn't clapping or anything when Allen won)

All the finalists are under the finger of Fuller's group. There are no free agents in American Idol unless he takes a pass.

But only Kris has to put No Boundaries on his album...

But yeah, they're all 19 property unless they pass. Sometimes the runner ups get saddled with music that doesn't fit them just as much as the winners (see Bo Bice).

I am glad and was shocked Kris won. But now I worry that it will become more about Adam losing than Kris winning...

Kara, IMO, is much more annoying than Paula. At least you can laugh at Paula. Kara's just annoying as hell.

I worry more that Kris only won because so many people didn't want Adam to win.

when kara came out from behind bikini girl... bikini girl couldn't figure out where the better voice was coming from... she kept turning over her wrong shoulder to see who it was... it was greatness

I would talk about bikini girl if she looked better in it.

That was staged. She was acting surprised.

Same thing with Tatiana...

It was all staged but I don't think Bikini girl knew anything about Kara ripping her dress open... I think that's what got her pissed.

Not too bad for a 38-yr-old

The best part of the entire night was Seacrest's comments to bikini girl about getting something new.

As for Kara.....I'd do her.....as long as she didn't open her mouth....errrrr....I mean as long as she didn't talk.

She's good for one thing.

I just find it dumb that so many people wouldn't know the difference if Adam had become famous without this show.

If he had come out with a band behind a label and did the things he does, no one would have said anything. I mean just think about some the bands out there today. They are weird, dress crazy, act nuts onstage, etc. Just because this guy was in the American Idol setting everyone thinks he is crazy and a bad singer.

I think Adam is in the perfect position right now, actually. Once his obligation to the AI tour ends and he's allowed to go do his own thing, I see him being HUGE in the GLBT/Scene demographic. He's got his name out there now, and I really think that once he lets loose with his outlandish costumes, songs, and staging he'll have a huge cult following.

Not if 19E wants to sign him, which they will. He is owned by them for a period much longer than the tour unless they release him. The ones they release are allowed to do their own thing once the tour ends or shortly after.

def. an attention *****, but she it hot

I'm just now watching the show. I was excited about seeing Lionel Ritchie and Danny sing, and it was good. However, there was something a little ghey about the two of them singing that "i just want to get away with you" song together.

the whole queen performance could be one of the best songs on idol ever. loved it.

That was badass. They should have just ended it right there and called them cochamps.

Looks like Queen may actually want Adam to join the band.

They'd be idiots not to.

Don't think it'll happen, but it'd be cool if they did and I think that it would be a hell of a concert.

AT&T helped Kris win!

AT&T, one of the biggest corporate sponsors of “American Idol,” might have influenced the outcome of this year’s competition by providing phones for free text-messaging services and lessons in casting blocks of votes at parties organized by fans of Kris Allen, the Arkansas singer who was the winner of the show last week.

Representatives of AT&T, whose mobile phone network is the only one that can be used to cast “American Idol” votes via text message, provided the free text-messaging services at two parties in Arkansas after the final performance episode of “American Idol” last week, according to the company and people at the events.

There appear to have been no similar efforts to provide free texting services to supporters of Adam Lambert, who finished as the runner-up to Mr. Allen.

Since then, angry supporters of Mr. Lambert have flooded online chat boards with messages claiming irregularities in the competition’s voting.

Officials of Fox Broadcasting declined to discuss the situation. In a statement issued Tuesday, a spokesman for AT&T said, “In Arkansas, we were invited to attend the local watch parties organized by the community. A few local employees brought a small number of demo phones with them and provided texting tutorials to those who were interested.”

...

Representatives of AT&T helped fans of Mr. Allen at the two Arkansas events by providing instructions on how to send 10 or more text messages at the press of a single button, known as power texts. Power texts have an exponentially greater effect on voting than do single text messages or calls to the show’s toll-free phone lines. The efforts appear to run afoul of “American Idol” voting rules in two ways. The show broadcasts an on-screen statement at the end of each episode warning that blocks of votes cast using “technical enhancements” that unfairly influence the outcome of voting can be thrown out.

And the show regularly states that text voting is open only to AT&T subscribers and is subject to normal rates.
