Too bad that Adam Lambert`s fans all over the world (like me) couldn`t vote for him. Kriss is the new american idol but Adam is no doubt our worldwide idol. He will be sucessful in his career, I`m sure and I`m looking forward to his albuns coming out... read more » |

I’m a devout Christian and mother of two music-loving boys, and I must ask: What is wrong with America? America’s vote for Kris Allen, or America’s vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a hate vote against the various sectors of society that Adam ap... read more » |

The first time I saw Adam in one of the recaps of AI auditions - he got me interested in the show already. He got this mysterious, emo looks and cool hairstyle. I wasn't able to catch his name yet because everytime I get to watch AI I'm nearing the e... read more » |
Kareen Vancouver, Canada | 10:17pm on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 |
I am so disappointed that Adam didn't make it, but I still believe he will be a bigger STAR than Kris.

Danny Fan Kentucky | 9:23pm on Tuesday, May 19th, 2009  |
My votes tonight have been for Kris, by far the best of the remaining two. |

I've been a huge fan of American Idol since season 3 and I am so much in awe of Adam. I really think he should win the Idol crown. So please vote for Adam & we hope to see him in the Phils soon for a concert! |
Kim Miami | 7:20pm on Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 |
Love the article! I've never been into American Idol, to me it was like Dancing with the Stars... I know it existed but never watched it until I saw once Adam and I got hooked to see what he has to offer every Tuesday night! I even downloaded his ver... read more » |
idolcritic West Virginia | 2:39pm on Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 |
Great article and right on the money. Adam is something special and we are all fortunate to witness his rise to stardom. He has worked hard and deserves to win. Unfortunately, America still has to come a long way - unlike so many other countries who ... read more » |

I am a 65 year old conservative Republican and I think Adam is one of the most talented entertainers I've ever seen and I've seen most of the greats. I have many friends who feel the same way. We don't judge individuals by political standards. Pol... read more » |

Adam Lambert is the hardest working idol in the history of AI. During audition, he said that this is his BIG chance. He wants to be fearless and he wants go out there and give us a show each week. And each week, we saw the Adam Lambert's show. He car... read more » |

Kareen Vancouver, Canada | 9:43am on Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 |
I second Letty
Vote, vote, vote.
There is a whole campaign going on to transfer Danny votes into Kris.
It has little to do with who is the most talented Singer which is very sad.
However we will not wipe out all the BIGOTS in our life time, so a... read more » |

Don't feel bad Denise in Southern California. I do the same and I am in my 70's
No singer since Sinatra or Elvis got me as excited as Adam.
Silly? Maybe but I don't care |
Denise Southern California | 8:20pm on Monday, May 18th, 2009 |
I absolutely adore Adam Lambert!! There are many many of us 50-something women who have completely lost it -- spend my days playing his downloaded songs and scouring the internet, blogging about him. Adam is not only blessed with incredible God-giv... read more » |

I am surely going to have Adam Lambert withdrawals once AI is over. I seriously think if they came up with some type of variety show that Adam would star in every week they could make a fortune. Even the thought of not seeing him perform every week... read more » |
Ken California | 10:33am on Monday, May 18th, 2009 |
Found some clips of him online, and not only was his singing different than most pop singers, he reeks of coolness as well as charming. I don't follow AI much less watch TV. The 1st time I learned of Adam Lambert was in Times magazine article making ... read more » |
Kareen Vancouver, Canada | 8:58am on Monday, May 18th, 2009 |
I wish I knew why some people mix politics into making Adam the American Idol or who he sleeps with. My god this is a singing contest folks and there never has been someone like Adam. He will be huge all over the world even if they elect country bum... read more » |

Great article! Adam has a BIG fan base here in Turkey too! He is the WORLD IDOL! Wish we could vote! Vote till you drop Adam's American fans! I am afraid majority of Danny's votes will be shifting to Kris. It is so unfair.. |
CMitch San DIEGO | 7:32am on Monday, May 18th, 2009 |
Adam is a superstar no matter what anyone says about his sexual preference. This is a competition about talent and Adam has it! The more people try and bash him the more inclined the rest of us are to vote more and more. The world is behind Adam Lamb... read more » |

Adam Lamberr HAS to WIN. So American fans please vote harder for us. (I'll try to vote too.) ALSO. I don't get why people are okay with Adam not winning. He's already a winner? We still have a few days to go people. HE HAS TO WIN, because first of al... read more » |
Idol Fan Michigan | 6:19am on Monday, May 18th, 2009 |
I find Adam Lambert mesmerizing. He is an absolutely amazing talent with that "it" factor that just draws people in. A lot of people have complained that they don't want a gay person to be an American Idol. I have to disagree. What better role model... read more » |
Yvonne Sydney, Australia | 4:39am on Monday, May 18th, 2009 |
Also enjoyed your intelligent article. Adam has the most incredible vocal abilities. I have great respect for him that he has had to endure all the innuendos of his sexual orientation which should have no bearing to this competition. Move forward Ame... read more » |

On grounds of talent alone, Mr Lambert is in a league of his own. His vocal pyrotechnics eclipse all others. His star power adds to that eclipse. Should Mr Lambert 'lose', it will prove a Pyrhhic victory for homophobes everywhere.

Caroline Dallas, TX | 10:22pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Since his audition, I have been hooked on Adam's voice. I vote as much as I can (at work on the phone when I'm not supposed to be) but can't help it. He must win. Can't wait for his album. Best ever to come out of Idol. |
Kareen Vancouver Canada | 10:06pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
I am begging one of you, please do vote one time for me if you can.

Jill Malaysia Malaysia | 7:54pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Excellent article. Am from Malaysia and is one of Adam's international legion of fans. Would want to crown our Adam as the next American Idol (if not the World Idol...) How do I go about finding out Adam's numbers on Tuesday? |
Kathryn Northern California | 7:47pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
You're right. Adam is EXACTLY like Elvis and threatens the same element in our population: the Puritan ethic, oh my. And he appeals to those of us who value passion, emotion, talent, creativity and owning our sexuality. Amen. |
Amanda Seattle WA | 7:37pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Not since the Beatles, have I been so excited to see such stage performance. Adam ROCKS! |
Alice G Australia | 7:32pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
My sister told me about Adam and I googled the net. Found the site, watched and heard him sing and I was mesmerized. Never was there in American/Australian Idol such a performer. Awesome. |

Gail Ohio | 7:26pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Very well written and I agree. I'm a baby boomer and Adam has ignited a bonfire in me, reading everything I can, downloading all his songs on my iPod and re-watching his magical performances on T.V. My friends think I've lost it! He is the best, m... read more » |

I'm hoping that some of the christian, republican, conservatives that have posted their love for Adam will quit hiding behind their bible in support of discrimination. GO ADAM XO |
Susan Virginia | 7:08pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
I actually remember seeing Elvis on Ed Sullivan. I was eight years old and had injured my foot. Adam stirs feelings I haven't had since John, Paul, George and Ringo! |
Kareen Vancouver, Canada | 7:06pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Have to add this:
Mark my words, Adam will be known world wide and don't laugh, I am 71 and still kicking. LOL |
Kareen Vancouver Canada | 7:02pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
I totally Agree with the author.
I have never seen a Contestant with Adams quality on that stage. |
Ali TX | 7:00pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Adam will be a star (is a star) whether he wins AI or not, but an Adam victory symbolizes so much more as this article so elequently expresses. Can't wait to see this boy performing in person. |

It's all been said. I can't believe how good Adam is. I voted for him for Idol for the first time ever. Who cares if he is the annointed one, he ahs a huge fan base and a mammoth career ahead.

Adam Lambert sang his heart out, and I remember every song he sang. Loved it. I am 100% a Lambert fan, even though I liked Danny Gokey at the beginning. Somehow, Chris....forgettable. He reminds me of a lawn gnome. |

In my opinion, Kris is a singer, but Adam is an artist! I've never been this commited to voting for the next American Idol, and I'll never watch American Idol again if he doesn't win. I may not watch again even if he does--talent like Adam's is rare... read more » |

We are a conservative, Republican family who has been voting for Adam Lambert since the first episode of Idol that we could. It was our impression this was a singing contest, not a political election. |
Harry Philippines | 3:41pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Adam truly deserves the American Idol title. I really hope that Americans will choose the right winner in this singing competition, same as what they did in the recent U.S. presidential election. God bless Adam Lambert, God bless America! |

Love the article, thanks for articulating so well my emotions for Adam |
Amy Florida | 3:13pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Why do I find myself looking for Adam's threads online on a beautiful Sunday afternoon?.The same way I find myself voting for him every tuesday.
Adam is worlclass, interesting, talented, aware of himself, well spoken, down to earth. Love him! |
RoRo Texas | 3:06pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
I liked how this article echoed my own thoughts about Adam Lambert, who I already think of in terms of super-stardom. He may be more favored outside of mid-western states, which may lean the most towards country music, anyway. A child of the '60's a... read more » |

We Live in the Bible Belt and My family and I are Christians and we love ADAM! We can't get enough of him. We don't judge him on his life,just the Idol contest and ADAM is the BEST! |
Adam1 Seattle | 2:57pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Clearly Adam is the more talented performer and should be the winner. Imagine Adam Lambert being Kris Allen's "warm-up" act on the American Idol tour. Vote honestly, vote for talent. |
Kudzu Mississippi | 2:56pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Adam is the big winner no matter where he places. Remember Elvis Presley came in second at the Mississippi State Fair talent show, and we know the rest of that story. |

ADAM is mesmerizing audiences with his brilliant virtuosity, talent and personality. He deserves to win the AI and we own it to him – please vote. Can’t wait for Tuesday: 3(!) songs from Adam. |
Patricia Canada | 2:02pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |

To All Adam fans: We need to vote for the best talent and performances. Don't get complacent. Its possible we will have 4hrs window for vote. A lot of people is rallying voters for Kris. VOTE FOR THE BEST - VOTE FOR ADAM! |
mpbnice Cincinnati, Ohio | 1:43pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Adam appeals to the latent rocker in all of us, red or blue state. Love watching him snarl and strut, and then lapse back into his "nice kid" smile when the music is over. He's just so damn good, all the way to the tips of his polished nails. |
Lori Colorado | 1:37pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
Loved your article. I am also hooked. I listen to Adam everyday. He is my American Idol. |

ophu deep south | 1:13pm on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 |
I think it was a foregone conclusion that Adam would get some nasty comments for being a bit outre, and probably gay. (And here's where we all start singing "The times they are a'changin'") |
