You guys don't know what you're talking about. Adam is a gay stripper and will stay that way. I'm glad Kris won he deserved and stop saying that America voted wrong. I doubt the people that counted votes would get it wrong. If America wanted Kris, they got him, okay? Stop whining already! I'm so sick of it! Ugh!

ADAM LAMBERT IS NOT GAY, HE IS BISEXUAL!!!!!!!!! I CRIED FOR LIKE AN HOUR WHEN HE LOST!!!!! BTW, NOW THAT YOU KNOW HE'S BISEXUAL, HE'S MY HUNKY PUNKY ROCKER MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ADAM LAMBERT IS BISEXUAL!!!!!!!! I CRIED FOR LIKE AN HOUR WHEN HE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, NOW THAT YOU KNOW HE IS BISEXUAL, HE IS MY HUNKY PUNKY ROCKER MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I'M GONNA GET HIS ALBUM FIRST!!!!!!!!

Kris' expression is PRICELESS! I love it!

*happy dancing* GO KRIS!!! YAYYYYYYY! I really hate Adam he seems like he's gay! I mean what guy wears eyeliner! My sisters cried! Adam Sucks! All Adam can do is scream besides to sing and Kris can play instruments!

Mrs. Adam Lambert i so agree with you i wanted adam to win but at the same time i wanted him to lose so he can make his music his own way not the cheesy music they have to put on their record

Adam so can sing! he dosen't scream and actors wear make-up (boys do)

OMG KRIS WON!! HE IS SO SEXY!!
