Everyone claims to be an expert in the music industry!!! Stop whining and listen to the music you enjoy without putting down other talented people. All of the top ten contestants had unique and different talents. Why is it so hard to accept that?!?!!!!

What poor winners the Kris fans STILL are. I've seen some of Adam's PRE-idol performances and I guess he can't help but inject some of the things that come natural to him into his Idol tour performances. After having to hold it back a bit while he was on AI, he now can just let go and do a few things the way he wants without worrying about judges and voting. If he sat in a chair and didn't move, he'd be just as boring as at least 8 out of the other 9 singers on tour. I really want to go to a concert but I can't stand the thought of having to sit through all the others to get to Adam. Recent Idol tours haven't done that well and I'm sure Adam is the main reason this new group is doing as well as it is--money-wise.

Some one posted that Adam Lambert's performances are indecent. I don't get it. What did he do? I didn't miss a week of watching idol.

I am surprised you people are trying to compare the two. They are so different musically. They both have valid places in the business and have a lot to offer. Adam is kind hearted and vocally one of the most talented artist to come along in a very long time. Kris is adorable and has a depth of musical knowledge and plays many instruments in addition to singing. Adam definately has Super Star power and Kris will sell albums because he is pleasant to listen to. They are both great, very decent human beings and very good friends. They don't compete and their fans don't need to either.

Adam a passing fad??? I guess that is why he won the young hollywood artist of the year award, got the cover of Rolling Stone, has the people in the music industry asking to work with him and praise him, Jackson you are trying to pass yourself off as some highly righteous moralistic person,when you are nothing but bitter and hateful, why put Adam down? why not just enjoy Kris, you should really seek help for your negative and hatelful attitude. Take a page out of Kris and Adams book and celebrate the differences, I;m sure Kris would be saddened by your attitude as he always states'why can't we all just get along. Long live Kradam.

Of course Adam rocked the house , he rocked the world, and while I like Kris very much as a person and enjoy some of his music I would never be able to listen to a whole concert by him. And excuse me Jackson, you show your ignorance by lumping all Adam fans together and downing them, you are a hypocrite as you are showing your bitterness, your guy won and you still persist in being a mean spirit, and I am tired of Kris fans like you, and yes, I can also say so many Kris fans are rude , small minded and some of the comments posted by them are so rude and horrible I couldn't believe a human being could write such disgusting things.Why do you think there are such different types of music in the world? we all have different tastes so quit your little war you only hurt yourself, poorsoul.

Adam is a superstar. I feel something like tenderness for Kris but come on! You couldnt be serious.
Adam is espectacular. Everything in him is original and perfect. I think that Kris is mediocre and non threatening. This could be one of the reasons of his success.
I cant see any of the greats winning Idol.
Idol is designed to be winned by a brown person. I am sorry Kris but I know you know the truth.

Kris got more votes, but Adam was/is on another league, all by himself! I don't think it's terrible that Kris won idol, he seems like a nice guy, but his fans are lying to themselves if you think that it's even close.
The competition is over though, the 2 guys can have their separate careers now. Neither of them is going to the poor house, so we should all move on.

Shame on both sides of fans Kris & Adam's. These 2 have forged a friendship based on mutual respect for their musicality and their personalitys. Don't you realize when you slam one it hurts the other? They both have sincerely made peace w/the results before there were any results! When you comment pls try to be sensitive to this and love your idol unconditionally & without negativity towards the other. What are we still in jr. high. It may be time to grow up & try and set an example to the jr. high newspapers (current state of journalism/tabloidism) for them.

People...get a grip. First let me say I'm a huge KRADAM fan.
Adam is indeed the consumate entertainer, but guess what? Kris is the consumate musician/singer/songwriter! Each should be equally respected for the genre of music they excel in. The are COMPLETELY different artists and should not be compared. It saddens me how both of them have to keep reiterating that fact in interviews because it always falls on deaf ears.

Darcey, have you ever been to Arkansas? Probably not....That remark had nothing to do with Kris or Adam. It's just about who I like vs. who you like. I like Kris better. Big deal!!!

I saw the show in Tacoma last night. Adam was clearly the star of the show, judging by the audience reaction. He rocks out and then Kris comes in with a low-key acoustic song (to start). In a way we weren't ready to calm down, but to his credit, he wins the audience over. Kirs had a great set, too and the audience appreciated it.
Kris won. No doubt about it. Fair and square. But the music audience out there is not limited to voters of the American Idol show.
Jackson, your comments remind me of the reaction to Elvis in his time. Seriously, the words are almost verbatim. Adam is tamer that half the stuff one sees on TV these days.

The overwhelming majority of fans at the first two concerts supported Adam Lambert. I am in marketing and I have seen the data both before and after the final. Adam is at least three times more popular then Kris. Kris spiked only after the win, since then he has sunk like a rock in water. Madison Avenue knows who can sell products and who has style, that person is not Kris. Adam Lambert was the fourth most Googled name in June. What few fans Kris does have give me the creeps, like the ones posting here. How dare they say that Adam is not a family act! I would much rater have my children listen to someone with a world class voice that was achieved through dedication and training, then a little mouse of a man that belong in a college campus coffee house with the creeps who support him.

Thanks for your review! Our family went to the Portland concert and were amazed to see Adam perform. He is so talented and so charming. His performance was miles above the other singers. We are still smiling and humming his songs.
What a great way for our family to be entertained together! We all loved Adam's performance equally. I am thrilled that my children now have quality music to listen to, and we all look forward to attending Adam's solo concerts.
Adam's music brings all ages together. He is timeless and his talent is superb.
I highly recommend his show as great family entertainment! A show that will make you smile every time you look back and say "I was there!"
Too bad we had to sit through the other singers, although Allison was great too!!

I'm a major Kris fan from the NY metro area. I voted for him for 4 hours straight on every available phone in my house (no AT&T so no texting). All of my work colleagues in NJ voted for Kris, and all of their family members. All of my family members in PA voted for Kris, including my brother, sister in law and nieces. Actually, I don't know of anyone who voted for Adam. I am a Kradam fan, but focused my voting efforts on Kris because his music is the music I will listen to after the IDOL tour. I understand there are Adam fans who cannot accept the fact that Kris actually did win (fairly and squarely based on the rules and pronouncements by those in charge of vote counts), but he did, and it's because his music is more likely to be the favorite when listening on the radio.

Adam is putting on what borders on a porn show in front of children. If you think that is entertainment than maybe Adam should entertain you in a strip joint. His performance border on indecency and I believe public indecency is unlawful. Entertainment 19 should take a look at what is going on and stop it before Adam gets completely out of hand as his so called fans want him to do. Kris has a lot of fans, but we are not over the top fanatics and we are not all from Arkansas. Get a life you bitterberts and realize not everyone likes Adam or approves of the way he acts. Kris will be around for a long time. Adam fans are rude and obnoxious and bitter who can not stand that a real talent beat their fake.

Jackson, get real. You and he creepy Kris fans have to deal with reality. Ever night of the tour people will go wild for Adam and be bored by Kris. There is no contest. Kris is an ordinary little man who has been elevated by a backward state and now he is being ridiculed every night because he can not deliver the goods. People like you did this to him . Poor Kris. Adam's "fad" will last the next hundred years at least. Kris fans should stop being such jerks!

Your headline is deceptive. Adam rocked the show. Kris could only rock someone to sleep. Kris is only the “winner” because people in Arkansas voted thousands of times each. Once on the road you cannot conceal the fact that Adam has the talent and the fans. The Internet is filled with Adam’s raw hot sexy performances and his amazing vocals. Combine that with his flashing blue eyes, his gyrating pelvis, lip curl, and his six foot one inches of male beauty and he is reminiscent of a young Elvis when the television censors would only film him from the waist up. The world is in for a wild ride with this young and creative superstar.

Kris is the real idol. Adam is only an act that will get tiring. Kris is everlasting!
The only scam is the one Adam is trying to pull. How many screams would he get if he wasn't putting on a burlesque show. Get real, he's a passing fad.

OF COURSE ADAM STOLE THE SHOW! HE'S THE TRUE IDOL. KRIS WON BY PHONE SCAM AND BY GETTING THE HOMOPHOBE VOTE ONLY. HE IS MEDIOCRE AT BEST.
