Amid the conspiracy rumors that the voting for "American Idol" this season is not valid, winner Kris Allen and the runner-up Adam Lambert stepped forward to have their say. In an appearance on NBC's "Today Show", where they also performed individually, Adam and Kris emphasized the fact that they are two different artists and that there's no way they are "in competition".
Stopping by Rockefeller Center on Thursday, May 28, Adam and Kris were complimentary toward each other and shared a hug as the crowd went wild. They sat down for an interview with Meredith Viera, telling her that it didn't matter who came out as the winner. "The bottom line is that we're such different artists that there's really no way to directly compete," Adam said. "It was more of a competition within yourself. We were competing with ourselves and doing our personal best, and it was up to America, and I'm really happy Kris won. He's super talented."
Kris responded to the question about Power Text that may have boosted his number and unfairly led to his coronation. "'American Idol' kind of gets you ready for this stuff," he said. "People are going to criticize you no matter what, and I had nothing to do with this. I just got up there and sang. I didn't call up AT&T and say, 'Hey, I need some more votes.'"
Adam, meanwhile, considered it rather ridiculous and said that he rolled his eyes upon hearing it. "I think people are just looking for something to be dramatic about," he said. "I really think people need to relax and just accept that this is the way the vote went. ... Move forward. We get to make albums now; we get to tour all summer. There's not a conspiracy, people. Relax."

Adam's talent is Homeric. He will be defined by his elegance, his charisma, his warmth, his genuineness, his amazing friggin' pipes. Adam is an icon. Kris is an idol.
Adam is a very intelligent person and you can tell that...As far as Kris he is like a little boy and Adam is like a person who has maturity and know how to get along with everyone and speak to the media...I hope both the best but Adam made AI and Kris knows it.....I don't get excited when Kris sings and with Adam he makes you feel good and want more....music.....
no matter what he is, for me , Adam is the best contestant on American Idol history Ever !! although he didn't win , he obviously be a star ! i will be on the first line to buy his CD :)
ADAM IS MY IDOL,ARK. WITH THE HELP OF AT&T CHEATED,THE WHOLE COUNTRY KNOWS IT,THIS IS TE REASON THEY WILL NOT RELEASE THE VOTE TOTALS FROM ARK. BECAUSE IT REP. 50% OF THE VOTE TOTALS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, I don't watch American Idol and I don't listen to albums by the winners. But I too got caught up in American Idol this year, even cancelling engagements just to see Adam Lambert perform
Adam is the best idol ever. You and Kris are both mega-stars. Looking forward for Adam esp to release cd soon.
Adam is so neat about his being 2nd and he should be proud of himself for being in the final 2...How Kris came up to win I have no idea, even tho' he is a sweet acting guy, I don't think he is very imventive on music.... Adam made American Idol the best this year, with class, talent, changing each week and never knowing what he is going to do, handsome as can be and I probably will not watch idol again as who can top Adam...No one can...he is great.....hope he don't get the big head.....go get the music ready so we can buy it.....
In other words, I'm saying some people DO NOT WANT ADAM LAMBERT TO BE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL, and will do all they can to tear him down. They will be looking to create scandal and havoc, at the cost of any hurt and any friendship and any life.
I think a lot of people might be afraid of a make-up wearing, fingernail painting, soprano singing, broadway loving, goth gay guy with a penchant for being nice actually becoming a POSITIVE ROLE MODEL for the younger generation--so they're going to tear him down any way they can. See how many of them you find posting on articles that give the lie to their assertions (like the one above). How many? Wow. None so far. No, they'll try to hit him under the radar, and below the belt.
You can tell Kris had won by viewing Dial Idol for the finale. Everyone that is into American Idol knows about Dial Idol. You could see that Kris was winning that evening because on Dial Idol Kris had won. So Textgate did not affect the outcome because Dial Idol is not texting but it indicates how people are voting and on the site Kris was the winner.
adam ur hot
Danny is a dreamer...Adam is a screamer...and Kris is a SINGER, well deserving of our new American Idol.
I don't care if Adam is gay or not, i can't wait for his new album. He is very talented. You rock man!!! GOODLUCK :)
Kris "He looks like an average guy". Uh that is what American Idol was about in the first place. To find 'regular people' and make them stars, not find professionals like Adam Lambert.
Hey GSingh: DialIdol DID NOT have Kris winning; it had it too close to call, making that AT&T tutorial all the more controversial. I know Adam wants everyone to just relax, but Adam: We love you and feel you are deserving of the crown. Also, it puts FOX on notice that such conflict of interest may go to hurt future Idol contestants. Adam will blow everyone away no matter what, but other contestants may be hurt even more by any questionable voting practices. WE LOVE YOU ADAM!
hahah, just by watching this, you can see how much the two differ. Kris sits and spins his chair and slumps his shoulders. He looks like an average guy. Adam stands straight and talks with more charisma and energy. i just hope adam can stay that nice. i just hope hollywood doesn't mess him up like it has to... Britney spears!
I really like Adam and I think people should live there life and let him live his. People are to quick to judge other when should be looking at their own self. I'm senior citizen and I think Adam was sweet and well manner and he love to perform that made American Idol worth watching. He will be a hard act to follow.
