I know that title sounds odd ... but I have some thoughts about the final voting on American Idol.
First off, I'm happy for Kris.
Did he deserve to win? Not if we're basing it on performance, star quality or versatility.
For starters, Kris benefited from the website Vote For The Worst telling their readers to vote for Kris - only because they didn't want Adam to win.
Secondly, I was very disappointed when someone told me they were voting for Kris solely for the reason that they didn't want the "faggot" to win. They told me they were Christians and therefore had to make sure the Christian won. Who's to say that Adam isn't a Christian? Has Adam actually verified the gossip going around about his sexuality? Heck this person hadn't even voted for Idol before - and there are many more out there like this person.
What hurt the most is that this is NOT how a Christian should behave. Why are there so many who try to justify their hate by saying, 'I'm a Christian." Funny, I have read the Bible and I don't remember seeing where it says that we should discriminate or hate other people.
The silver lining in Kris winning is that Adam will not have to sing that horrible song again. That single could kill Kris Allen's career before it even begins. Also, Adam won't have to worry about 19 Entertainment and the producers of Idol screwing with his image. Now he will be able to sign with a label that is going to allow Adam to be Adam.
That is worth Adam coming in second. I can't wait!
