Spoiler Alert...American Idol....The Conservatives Viewers Spoke ...... Spoiler Alert

[rsmith6621]

....Not to ruin it for the Pacific Time Zone....tonight proved that the majority of American Idol viewers must be right wingers otherwise the most talented one would have won......those who voted for this years winners I think wanted to make sure they further silenced a segment of our society.....The winner is very talented and looks like he comes from a wholesome American family and I am sure if he had place second his future would have been no differnet.


Yes people still let some who are born with certain biological desires stand in the way of what is right.....We still have a long ways to go as a society.


Sorry if I have spoiled the surprise. One was defiantly better by a sure margin than the other.

1. You should put "Spoiler" in your headline so people know..

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. You can still edit your headline with a spoiler warning instead of the spoiler itself.

I don't watch the show, but let's think about the Pacific time zone people.

EDIT: As in don't reveal anything in the headline. Just put: "American Idol" (spoiler alert).

3. How about a SPOILER ALERT

:(

[fumsm]

4. As a musician, I would have to

AGREE with you. I didn't think it was close. Sorry.

[madaboutharry]

5. I think your analysis is oversimplified.

I thought the person who came in 2nd should have won. But, I think that many who voted for the winner sincerly thought he was best.

Both of these men are very talented. It wasn't a robbery.

[obliviously]

6. I thought we were a little better than this. N/T

[LakeSamish706]

7. Adam was clearly the more talented.... I guess it's a non gay drive that fueled this thing...

Totally straight here and have been married for 37 years and this out come sucks big time.... I like Chris, but he is no where near as talented as Adam...

[Muttocracy]

8. when you have the conservative part in the headline, it's still a spoiler!! nt

[MazeRat7]

9. IMHO, Adam could be the next Freddie Mercury

But not if he had won. Winning idol more or less puts you in a box and charts your future. Secondly, while Adam was definitely the most talented "singer" and performer, he was not the best all around musician. I am pleased with the results and can hardly wait to see what Adam does next. He is going to eventually out-shine all the other idol winners.

Peace,

10. Adam is going to get a big record contract regardless of

tonight.

You have a great point here. Adam is going to be a huge star and I think a bigger star than Kris.

[obliviously]

12. Adam was fantastic

He will do fine without the win. He did geat with kiss and queen, I thought he did better than the groups did. Neither Adam or Chris were my choice. Allison was the best!

[madaboutharry]

13. I was for Allison too.

I was really disappointed when she got sent home. I love her voice.

[MazeRat7]

14. I was really digging that duet with Cyndi Lauper.

She is going to be huge as well. At 17 and a voice like that... damn!!!

Peace,
MZr7

[obliviously]

15. We can only hope.

I will by every album she puts out.

[joshcryer]

11. Exactly, winning Idol is a death knell to your creativity and musical ability.

It just ends you.

[obliviously]

16. It opens doors.

It will give you more opportunities than you could possibly imagine. David Cook is better this year than last. When money is no longer an issue you can become creative.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

37. I think he means if you finish in the top four or five, but don't win, it's better

Like Chris Daughtry (who I'm not a fan of) was able to go out and do what he wanted to right away without being tied down to an Idol contract, and has had the best career of anyone that season.

[Bluebear]

23. I will say if Adam had to record that DioGuardia treacle "winner's" song it would have been horrible

For him and for all of us.

[book_worm]

32. Carrie Underwood did very well...of course she is country, but she does have cross over appeal, too.

[obliviously]

17. So you think you can dance.

Now it's time to move on to dance!

[cboy4]

18. This was the worst spoiler alert ever

[spoony]

40. Lol, yes. yes it was.

I think they just added the words 'spoiler alert' before the unedited spoiler. A slight missing of the point, I'd say.

[Liberal_in_LA]

44. lol. Agreed!

[Bombtrack]

19. I would say this is like the Crash-beating-Brokeback jumping to conclusions all over again

only those were both atleast watchable movies, while every second of American Idol is mind numbing, ultra lame crap.

[Bluebear]

21. Oh would you now.

[cboy4]

24. Everyone knows Brokeback Mountain lost because of the

unbelievable homophobia that still exists in Hollywood.

There's no other rational explanation why there are so few "out" actors/actresses.

People are afraid of not getting parts.

But you go to Britain, and BBM cleaned up at the BAFTAS.

[Better Believe It]

20. Kris said: "Adam deserved to win" He's right and he handled it nicely.

[johnnie]

22. It's not that complicated

Out of the last three, two were poppy mainstream singers and one was a bit more of a fringe type singer. One of the pop kids left and his votes went to one of the others. It's simple math really. I think the majority of the voters are teeny-bopper little girls who like cutsie guys and that's all it is.

[obliviously]

25. I'm sure there is

a lot of truth to your comment but at the performance Adam seemed to get louder applause.

[LostInAnomie]

45. Exactly

All this "conservative homophobes" crap is ridiculous. It's just trying to put a boogieman on a perceived injustice.

The Gokey guy and Kris probably have similar fans. When Gokey was eliminated they probably turned to Kris because they didn't like Adam's style.

If Adam's fans want to blame anyone they should be blaming the judges for their incessant fawning over Adam and their blatant vote whoring for him (see last week's show). That turned a lot of people off.

[earth mom]

26. I'm pissed and I'm gonna be blunt: Fuck those fundie nutcase jesus freaks.

:puke:

[lucretia54]

27. If I want to hear a 70's tune, I'm not going to go to an Adam Lambert cover...

and I don't get this "conservative" stuff...Kris did an awesome timely version of "She works Hard For the Money" and "Ain't No Sunshine"- never better.

Yes, there was a vast difference and the right guy won, IMHO.

[book_worm]

28. Actually your thread title gave the result away to anybody who can put two and two together.

[book_worm]

30. I don't think the result had anything to do with Adam's assumed sexuality

because most AI viewers screw younger in the demographics and are more open to a persons sexuality than older people.

Also it hasn't been an issue on the show and except for a few RW media people hasn't been an issue in the mainstream media.

What did Adam in? (yes, he was the best and should have won)

1) He was heavily preceived as the judges pet and there is often a backlash against the front runner and Kris Allen, while not as talented was preceived as a genuinely nice guy.

2) Everybody thought Adam would win so could it be that his voters didn't turn out thinking they didn't have to vote three or four times? because it was in the bag, while Kris's voters did vote as often as they could.

[Bluebear]

42. I think you mean skew younger, not screw younger, bookworm

:)

[No Passaran]

29. forget it

Girls ages 9-12 decide the winner of that show and they liked the other guy better

[book_worm]

31. yep, somebody on another thread said it was the "Tiger Beat" vote.

[earth mom]

33. If that's true then why didn't Sanjaya win?

People of all ages watch AI and I have no doubt that Adam was done in by the fundie nutcase jesus freaks.

Don't forget what they did in California. :puke:

[lucretia54]

34. But by the results it seems that the older crowd determined the results.

They are both nice guys, and both CUTE. As a teen, I'm sure I would have had a crush on Elvis---I mean Adam...

I think Kris won because of his more current and individual style.

Adam the rock star was talented and fun- but in the end, a cover artist.

[No Passaran]

35. It doesn't matter

I see Adam with a successful career and it might be better that he didn't win

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

36. Is this Adam kid actually gay?

Seriously, everyone just assumes he is (unless he's said something I don't know about) and it's kind of funny if everyone is just assuming he is, and therefore making their choices based on that, both pro or con.

Seriously, I don't know because I only watched Season 5, which was pretty good. But Season Six sucked with that Sanjaya kid and I've never looked back.

[arcos]

43. There are pics of him kissing other guys...

Which doesn't make him gay, but it does increase the odds. Substantially.

[Old Hank]

38. The 2nd place guy was my favorite, in terms of talent

The winner just didn't impress me. His voice seemed good, but not great. Adam, on the other hand (correct me if I get the name wrong) was very good and his voice was superb.

[KT2000]

39. Sorry Adam did not win

but he probably did in the long run. He will likely have more control over his career on his own. He needs to be free to choose his own material - he is not made for the schlocky run of the mill stuff.

[springhill]

41. I am hardly conservative...........

and I didn't like Adam's screaming style. Sorry, just a matter of choice.

[tkmorris]

46. You DON'T put the spoiler in the thread title!

Fer chrissake, if you don't know how to do something ask somebody. You just ruined the show for a lot of people. I don't mean to be rude, and I know I am being so anyway, but this stuff is old hat. Do you really need to be told that some people haven't watched it yet? Is the concept of Tivo lost on you? Time zones? I know you do because you mention west coast viewers in your OP, then you DO IT ANYWAY! Mein Gott...
