I will say this until the end of time, America was not ready for an unapologetically open gay man to win that show even though he so rightly should have. No one even remembers the name of the actual winner of that season but we all know who Adam Lambert is.

I honestly do remember the winner of that year it was Chris Allen the reason Adam didn't win it was because he was too over the top for people's taste. But in my opinion who do you hear the most from in American Idol not so much the winners except for the first year winner Kelly Clarkson. I honestly do like Adam and have a cd of his which has his hit song from the movie 2012. I don't have a cd of Kris Allen.

It’s been awesome to relive Adam Lambert on American Idol! I was his Number One Fan the first audition song and watched every night, as he Blew the rest of the contestants away with his talent; his unique cocky charisma, that vocal range and professional package; and yes he took me back to my HS & College loves & passions! I was a fan of Queen & knew he could be King of Queen and everyone of US would win! We did, didn’t we....Hello Adam, you’d laugh to know your most loyal voting fans were older women! We voted en masse & I think I wore out at 148 times! I suspected small town Religious Right would vote for Chris. So, we all called. All of my friends used LAST NUMBER DIALED to repeatedly vote against the South & the Midlands in USA. We helped but my heart was forever broken that the Bible Belt gave you the swiveling hips Elvis response! WE TRIED TO GET YOU THE AMERICAN IDOL WIN, BUT SMALLTOWN AMERICA HAD UNIFIED! You showed them because your talent & ultimately more mature judgment took you to your Pinnacle. Bottom line you didn’t need American Idol, QUEEN & THE WORLD FANS OF QUEEN & their Repertoire.........absolutely needed your talents & judgment. Keep on keeping on & make this Old Rocker & Sunset Strip Dancer, proud! You have eclipsed others, perhaps not other Idols such as idealized Elvis, Freddie, or ? But you have eclipsed all American Idols before, during & after your reign. Do Grammy a favor & stay away from all drugs & alcohol. It’s ruined so many careers & lives foreshortened by overdoses, heart & DWIs. I trust your judgment. You’re on a roll, so ROCK ON with & for those who appreciate you!

Adam Lambert didn't win American Idol, but look at him now. Absolutely a fabulous success in the entertainment industry. The same with Jennifer Hudson who finished in 7th place. Now she's the youngest E.G.O.T. winner in history. The show became more of a popularity contest than a singing contest. A few gifted singers used this platform as their stepping stone to greater things. You can't keep gifted talent from revealing itself.

This guy has one of the best voices I’ve heard in the past 50 years and I can’t believe he didn’t win the final. I was brought up on 70’s & 80’s rock music and when he sings rock music he is untouchable. No wonder Brian May and Roger Taylor wanted him to front Queen after his performance in the final. The other guy who won the final was average at best compared to Adam. His rendition of Led Zepplins Whole Lotta Love was just incredible. Plus he looks like a rock star when he’s on that stage. Finally his vocal range is incredible.

Thank you for saying that! Many, including the judges say that he's 'one of the best' (for PC sake) but in all honesty, he IS THE BEST the show has ever had! Or any talent shows have ever had! Born To Be Wild, Whole Lotta Love, what he wore and his performance with KISS... try to beat THAT! Nobody comes close to his level of caliber and abilities. When he sang We Are The Champions and shook Brian and Roger's hands, many knew it's destiny that he will front Queen!

I'm old, and grew up listening to every genre of music when music was really really good -- just my opinion, but it's this strange dichotomy -- I think Adam has the No. 1 most beautiful voice and delivery for singing ballads than anyone else ever, and that list is way long -- the dichotomy is: he's a rocker at heart. His AI semi final performances still bowl me over -- and his rendition of Beth is the best ever -- I wish him a very long and happy life and career -- Patricia 8/30/2020
