One more thing. I hope Kris has a long, successful career. He's what the show should be about--undiscovered talent.

If he tanks then we get how many more seasons of potted plants whose failed million dollar record deals paper the cat litter box? Does the world truly need more Carly Smithsons inflicted upon it? >>shudder<<

I agree with dumpydee. Kris actually has a decent voice, unlike Taylor Hicks. Kris has the moves, performance quality and entertainment factor that were made for radio (or itunes). His wacky facial gestures will seldom be seen--his tweeny fans will just drool over his posed posters.

Adam should've won because he brought viewers and money to AI. There was no way Gokey and Kris would've kept the ratings as high as they were week after week.

Gokey was way over pimped, but often performed in the middle of the show because Gokey didn't draw in viewers. Most weeks Gokey had more votes than Adam according to dialidol. But people like Gokey and Kris don't make a TV show interesting and fresh. AI producers knew that Adam is what made the show interesting and kept viewership high, even those who don't like his voice, tuned in. That's why Adam always performed near the end of the show or in the pimp spot.

We also had more interesting rock performances because of Adam. Would Slash ever agree to appear on a show where Gokey and Kris were the front runners?

Adam brought in so much additional money to the show this season, but now they will have to pimp Kris at the point when the contestants actually make money.

There's gonna be so many fantards pouring in...the next Fantard of the week is gonna be EPIC.

I wanna see the crazy tattoo chick at the laser removal place...

Long time VFTW reader, first time VFTW poster. Thanks for the weekly commentaries - I never miss them and it's really the only show summary that is worth reading. See you again next year!

I find it amusing that the people on this site actually think they make a difference.

Seriously. There were 100 million votes.. do you honestly think a few hundred are going to make any difference? Nope. The continual claims that this website played any part in the results comes off as a bit desperate. I don't blame you though, if I wasted as much time as all of you on here, I too would yearn for justification. It also seems you have forgotten how many times you *havent* made a difference.

I love the line "The producers must be pissed". Wow, seriously? So let me get this straight.. you think that the producers of the biggest show in America, a show that raked in over 700 million votes, are 'pissed' because of this corny website that encourages a few hundred people to vote for a certain contestant? Really? Wow! Apparently all of you are just as ignorant as you are arrogant, amazing!

So, now that the season is over, what are all of you sheep going to do now that you don't have VFTW thinking for you? Hopefully you have someone else who can fill in for the time being, to point you in the right direction and tell you how to think.

And now, to translate all of that into words that you can understand: BWAHAHAHAHA, none of you have lives!

Being on a stage crew myself, I know that glitches like that are unavoidable sometimes and they did fix it somewhat quickly. It's probably their way of sticking it to the producers and other people who most likely treat them like crap. If it weren't for them, there'd be no show.

I had a feeling Kris was going to win, but it still makes no sense to me. When Ryan said, "Kris Allen!" I was like, "alright". Then five seconds later, I was like, "woah, seriously?". He's just kinda been there the entire season. I like both him and Adam a lot, but I just can't believe he won. Kris looked happy for about 5 seconds and then he was just emotionless from then on. I lol'd.

Besides having to make a new pick pretty much every week, great season. :p

Cyndi Lauper was playing the dulcimer, not the mandolin. I actually liked her and Allison's song, I thought it was really pretty.

Kara ripping her dress off was truly the most cringe-worthy moment, like, ever. "The producers let a total whore get national TV time for being a total whore, so I'm just gonna be like her! Yay objectification!"

I was sad that Scott didn't get any songs. And did anyone but me think that Danny's song(s) went on waaaay, way longer than anyone else's? Maybe that's just cause time slows when he sings. And what was up with the ENTIRE night being like late 70's, early 80's?? The only current artists we hear are Jason Mraz, who sings a song we've already heard several times this season, and Fergie, who sings a song we've already heard a million times LAST season, The Black Eyed Peas, who were just freaking weird and sang a song that had approximately five words.

I wanted Adam to win, too, but let's face it: glam rock doesn't mix with crappy Idol record producers. Kris has a nice, pleasant voice and he'll fit in well with the radio-friendly kinda stuff. Adam can do so much better doing his own thing.

@Adam_Lambert:

You created an account on a site you are against and spent 20 minutes writing a nasty post about how unimportant this site is and how we are all losers.

Now, who is it that doesn't have a life exactly?

Thanks for the summary. I didn't waste 2 hours when I could find out the results in less than 2 minutes. LOL > But this does let me feel I didn't miss a thing now in the write up. I chose to watch the Pirates of the Carribean movie , Dead Man's Chest instead, hey what can I say.

I did find Tatiana funny though in a strange way, to take charge and rush up on the stage.I didn't like her auditions and drama (didn't like Glambert for the drama he brought to this too) but I actually thought her singing of that song was, while overdone, sadly outdoing some other contestants that made it further than she had. IF she'd kept the drama out she may have gotten some fan base to let her be the worst to win instead, there's always next time.lol

I can't wait to be on this side of the fence now to see how far the rotten ones get. Sanjaya and Megan are ones that overstayed their welcome, but it made the show seem funnier if they would get a contestant that would be tone deaf to win this all and bomb so to see Simon really crap his pants then. The look on his face when Kris was the "winner"was worth waiting for. Could have caught a bunch of flies from both Kris's surprised look and Simon's too.
