Frankly, I think they both won. Kris may have won the title, but Adam seems to have won even more. I think that even the possibility of him singing with Queen (something that's widely rumored) is far more of a victory than an AI title, especially for those of us who prefer our music a little less cheesy than what AI typically puts out.

The fact that the media's still all over him, while the only things I've seen about Kris are how AT&T might've helped him win,is a further indication that Adam is the real star here, regardless of who won the 'title'. No disrespect to Kris, who is a sweet guy and should do relatively okay with his fan base, but when it comes to a long-term star such as Kelly or Carrie, then my money's still on Adam. (And if he does end up singing with Queen, then Kris will really be left in the shadows, so to speak. After all, a soft pop album can hardly compare to fronting a legendary rock band!)
