I can understand the judges' issues with her catwalk abilities, but she can take a photo better than anyone else in the past two seasons.
I think they really want a man to win this season is part of it.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I agree. I don't think Mountaha has a prayer in hell.

This guy has rare range and knows how to work it to maximum effect all while keeping a core signature look.
I'm pretty sure that signature look is what kept him from winning, because he can seriously sing rings around Kris Allen. Not that I don't like Kris, he's a very competent and accessible singer and find his music enjoyable, but I will buy Adam's first album unheard where I probably won't by Kris's. And Adam's the first Idol I've ever wanted to buy an album before it's out.

I don't think it helped that EW basically outed Adam on its cover. But I have no doubt that Kris picked up the majority of Gokey votes.
And I'm fine either way. They both seem like good guys and I think they both can sing, but have very different styles.
I generally lose interest in seeing reality show contestants once the contest is over (see also SYTYCD), but I think I would actually go see Adam in concert or a show.

But I have no doubt that Kris picked up the majority of Gokey votes.
Yeah, I think that's pretty key.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I also think there is a strong possibility of a backlash vote that prevented Adam from winning.
I think Adam should have won, but I was irritated that his name was on Katy Perry's coat when she performed. Simon begging people to vote for Adam after the Top 3 performed was just beyond the pale.
So if I was tired of the AI producers' shenanigans, I might have voted against Adam just because.
Then too, I heard 38 million votes came from Arkansas. That's hard to beat.

“Not dead yet!”
I wish Katy Perry would shrivel up and disappear into some deep dark black hole. Preferably super-charged with the Big Red Matter from Star Trek.
Did everyone see how irked Simon looked after the announcement? Poor little Svengali.

Also, a lot of people may have figured that Adam was a lock, so didn't bother to vote.

I think it's a mitzvah at this point, sail. He won't be bound to a contract and he won't have to sing that godawful schlockfest that is the first single.
