Remember, by not winning, he didn’t get signed onto whichever company is tied with Idol. This allowed him the freedom to do what he wanted in his career, and now he’s the frontman of Queen and nobody knows what Kris Allen (the winner) is doing now. So, Adam won big time by getting second place.

Adam Lambert has 4 multi-platinum albums, 2 of them in first place on billboard, 3 sold out world tours, a grammy nomination, he has sung before an audience of 500 million in China, he has won 40 world awards, he is the best singer in the world, a fashion icon, a defender of human rights. With Queen he has made 6 tours with 218 shows totally sold in 42 countries before 4 million people, a # 1 album in various countries, a documentary that is the # 6 most watched movie on Netflix in the world, winner of the best band in rock in the world. So Adam Lambert is a winner and you are just a loser that Queen and Adam don't need, their shows sell out in minutes.
