Kris Allen?! What the fuck!? From beginning to end, this was Adam Lambert's year. Yes, many cannot stand him because he "screams." I agree at times it got to be too much. Having said that, he was a flamer who was representing the rainbow community.

The fact that he almost won a mainstream singing show mostly watch by the "family" crowd was really awesome. Obviously people knew he was gay and it didn't seem to matter. Oh well. I hope the queen has an awesome career.
