I also think that if Adam had been from Conway, he would have won. People here would overlook the gay thing cause they want a celebrity from their hometown/state. I guarantee it.
Ouch! Hey now Woody! I happen to be from Conway AR and I am an intelligent, logical, athiest, and LIBERAL, I believe in equallity for all. BUT I also happened to vote for Kris Allen, see my comment #51. Yes there are a lot of idiots in Arkansas, but that does not go for 100% of the population and people like me are certainly not a small minority here. See my other comment above about the annual Gay Pride parade in Conway. So please dont insult people from Arkansas based on your stereotypes which are almost, but no where near as bad as sterotypes for LGBT community. Nothing exciting happens in AR, this is why Kriss won.
Also, I bet you didnt know that Conway AR has an annual gay pride parade...That doesnt mean there arent a lot of biggots here, but still, give us some credit.
dont think it had anything to do with any of that really...AT&T said that 38 million votes came from Arkansas. Why? Because NOTHING exciting happens in AR and when we produce some sort of celebrity, everyone in the state feels some sort of connection to them. Me personally, I have NEVER watched or voted in American Idol before this season. I did this season because im from Conway and people I know know Kris. Alot of people in AR did the same thing. I believe Adam is much more vocally talented, but being from Cali, not as many people have a personal connection with him. The state of California is not going to unite for an American Idol like Arkansas is. People here are actually saying that this is the most exciting thing to happen to the state since Bill Clinton. Seriously. This is actaully better for Adam I think, because he wont have to be under AI contract and can make the kind of music he wants.
