WOW this INFURTIATES me. Adam did not win for the SAME EXACT reason Clay Aiken didn't. NOT because of his questionable sexuality, but due to the fact that he is NOT pop music. Adam has a sick range and amazing talent, but his voice is not a pop voice. Adam's "rock" always seemed ridiculously forced. Would have loved to hear a stripped down musical theatre tune, woulda fit much better with his voice and coulda pushed him further by embracing his own voice. Carrie Underwood did it. She knew she wasn't "pop" she had a COUNTRY voice and she showed it. Kris Allen IS today's pop music. He gets it, he embraces it. THAT is why Kris Allen won.
