I thought from the beginning it would come down to Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey. I never thought Kris Allen would beat out Danny or Adam for that matter.
The Bill O'Riley show predicted Kris would win because the shows previous winners had a Christian faith or background. Due to the news of Adam might be gay along with the photos that were circulated on the web may have ruined his chances.
I wonder if Adam being gay really had anything to do with it, since he definitely was the better singer. I couldn't imagine Kris doing as well as Adam did while singing with the Rock Band Kiss.
I still wonder if the show is fixed for ratings, remember Clay & Ruben. Then again Clay fought the gay rumors which later proved to be true.
Not sure if I can watch the show anymore. What are some of your thoughts.
Is the world and the TV viewers really that narrow minded that they voted out the better singer because he may be gay?

Sorry Todd, but Clipper and I did it again. We high-jacked the topic of Dancing with the Stars under Arts & Entertainment to talk about Adam and Chris. You might want to check that out. God, we're so good at that but I know I speak for Clipper also apologizing for our getting carried away again.

Hmmm. Photos on the web? I said it once and I will say it again. I didn't like the Goth and the attitude, but gay was not a problem for me. I never heard about any photos circulating on the web.
Clay Aiken was my choice for Idol the year that he was in contention, and I strongly suspected that he was gay. I simply thought that if Adam won, it was because of a popularity contest, as has been said of Chris.I said what I did about the kid playing either San Francisco or Las Vegas, because IF he is gay, I am sure that the gay vote went in his favor.
I really could care less about one's sexual orientation as long as they don't eye me with a glint in their eye when I bend over to tie my shoe.My only bitch with gay people is the rainbow flag and the flaunting it in the faces of everyone else. Hell, a person's sex life is a private thing. I don't really give a damn if you want to have sex with one of the same sex. Just don't ask me to approve of it or promote it. Oh, and don't ask me to vote for gay marriage. Civil unions are fine, but marriage is a whole different thing. Gay people deserve the same rights to health insurance and death benefits etc. that straight people do, but it doesn't have to be done under the auspices of "marriage" per say.
How is that for hijacking a thread, haha. Oh dear, and Bobbbiez has gone to camp. What a waste, haha.
By the way, I wish everyone a wonderful and fun weekend! We are going to a picnic for a friend that just came home from rehab after having a cancerous brain tumor removed. It is his birthday on Monday, and his wife is having a surprise birthday party/picnic for him at a local park. While we are all having a good time, take a moment to send up a prayer for my buddy Carl. God bless ya all!
