Alright, well first off let me say I completely disagree with this "article" (I use the term loosely-it seems more like the writings of a silly homophobic child stuck in May, still trying to pin these two artists against each other). Kris and Adam are very different and thus very difficult to compare musically. But talent wise, Adam is so obviously better than Kris. Just listen to that video you posted of them singing Crazy. Kris Allen has a decent voice, but it certainly isn't anything special. It's the kind of stuff you hear on the radio and go "Oh, that's nice". But Adam, Adam electrifies music. Adam has an incredible and unique voice, that makes him one of the most interesting and talented musical artists in years. "When he's not screeching like a murderous wraith", this is where you completely lost my respect for you and your article. I'm tired of people saying "Adam is a screamer/screecher". You want to hear screeching, listen to Danny Gokey's "Dream On" (sorry, Gokey fans!). I personally think it sheds a lot of light on what it means to be able to sing with a powerful high range, and not make it sound like your limbs are being ripped off by farm equipment. I would've completely respected your opinion if you had just said that you weren't into Adam's style. That's fine. But to attack him like that is really unnecessary. And as for the whole AMA performance, GET OVER IT ALREADY! I will admit, it was not my favorite performance of Adam's (although I had no issue with the "shock antics" I just didn't like the way his voice sounded that night). But really, did you even watch his numerous other performances post-AMAs where he has completely made it all about the music. As he's said repeatedly, it was one performance, one song, and he has admitted to going a little too far. But I suppose since he hasn't gotten down on his knees and begged you for forgiveness, you will continue to bash him. I'm sorry that you and your puritanical mindset can't handle a man who is comfortable being himself and performing with a kind of sexuality that women have been doing for ages. But you obviously are only interested in that one performance and you will let that be implanted in your brain every time you hear Adam's name. Well, I guess that just shows how bigoted you really are. But back to the whole "Kris vs. Adam" thing, look at the numbers. Adam has sold a butt-load more than Kris. Believe it or not, money talks very loudly in the music biz, which is why Adam is the star now, and Kris is just "that guy who won American Idol this year". Obviously not everyone is going to love Adam, just like not everyone (like me) is going to love Kris. So go ahead, call me a "hater" and then feel free to look into the closest mirror and realize that you are a hater too. Sorry.
