I voted for Kris Allen because of the two he's the performer that engaged me the most. plus I think he's cute.

I was so excited by his unexpected win that I went onto all kinds of blogs last night hoping to join other revelers.

Reading the blog posts, however, I began to feel slightly embarassed and ashamed.

According to the angry Lambert fans, the reason I would possibly have voted for Kris is because I'm a homophobic, musically-challenged, afraid, stupid tweener.  Wow.  this I didn't know about myself.

I never DISLIKED Adam Lambert.  I prefer Kris Allen's style of music and singing.

Thanks for posting the poll here.  

Maybe I'm OK after all.

then I read Rob Owen's blog.  I'm sad again.
