Good perspective, PG, especially on the landslide thing. All I'm reading is how much of a conspiracy it was. I also think it was a backlist against the judges. People don't like feeling like they have no say in the matter, especially on a show that claims to give them the power. I also strongly believe Danny's voters flocked to Kris.

Here's an interesting article about how the mainstream media is only politely celebrating Kris' victory:

i think that may be reading alot into it, but then what do I know.

I think when Danny left, those who were voting for him would have been more inclinded to vote for Kris. They were very similar in style.

Adam was great, all year long. Consistent, good entertainer and stage presence. He was pretty much good from the get-go.

Kris on the other hand, wasnt. He started out kind of dull, could sing, but not very memorable. He improved over the season and that may have been what won it for him.

either way, it was a fun show and then band was amazing as usual. I tune in to listen to Rickey Minor as much if not more than the contestants. Besides, both Adam & Kris will have very lucrative careers ahead of them.
Let the wild rumpus start!

The church is New Life Church in Conway.

Looks like PG is right about it being a landslide victory for Kris:
