"Are you freakin' serious? ... It feels good man, but Adam deserves this. I don't even know what to feel right now. This is crazy. Thank you so much."
I said yesterday that gays would feel cheated if Adam did not win, and sure, the greater talent did belong to Adam. But like my friend Glenn said (in response to my facebook status) "Adam will be a huge star but Kris needed the win."
CW says that most of the Gokey votes went to Kris, and that is what propelled him past Adam.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution was sure that Adam Lambert would win, and posted this at 10:11 (Eastern time) last night after the winner was announced:
From towleroad , who also reported that this was the fault of the AP, not the AJC.
Be sure to read my Western Tribune column this week (about the occupational tax), posted directly below this.
And the California Supreme Court posted this on their site yesterday:
Forthcoming Opinion Filings
May 20 2009 -- No opinions were announced for filing on Thursday, May 21, 2009.
There is no pending notice of forthcoming opinion filings. When opinions are expected to file, notices are generally posted the day before. Opinions are normally filed Mondays and Thursdays at 10:00 a.m.
There was a rumor that San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome asked the court to delay the filing so as not to coincide with the White Night Riots anniversary, but his office denied that.
The California Courts are closed Monday, so we shouldn't expect an opinion then.
Here's Kris singing "Ain't No Sunshine."
And there's some strange goings on in a neighboring city. That's all I can say right now. (But I'm not talking about Midfield's mayor, though I might real soon).

Oh those poor gays. They feel 'cheated' because their 'boy' didn't win.
He MUST have been more talented and he OBVIOUSLY deserved to win because....HE WAS GAY.
But he DIDN'T. Low and behold he lost....to a heterosexual man who is married to - of all things - a WOMAN. There MUST be something fishy going on here.
Oh, how the heck does anyone know anything about Adam's sexual preference and why would that even matter? Are you actually saying that the public decides all issues based on a perceived notion of anyone's sexuality? Well,it certainly made no difference when it was the, "no, I'm not a gay guy," Clay Aken, among many more I'm sure, like say all the others who'll never be, "famous," Simon AmstellJohn Barrowman Boy GeorgeMichael Cashman MEP

Adam was most certainly the very BEST artist to appear on American Idol in years! So, yeah I guess I'll do some fishing today if it's not raining; but I won't marry one!
