Did Adam Lambert and Susan Boyle lose because people thought they were winners and did not vote.

I don't know about Susan, but with Adam it was as simple as this: The votes the week before the final were split three ways-Adam, Chris and Danny. When Danny lost, I assume the majority of his votes went to Chris the following week. Of the two-Adam and Chris, Chris was most like Danny in character, style and genre of musical tastes so that makes sense. It was not rigged, it's common sense to assume that people who had previously been voting for Danny when forced to decide between two different artists, would choose the one most like the one they lost out on, Danny. So Chris won. Adam will still be huge and successful. He is to talented not to be.

Yes, people thing their vote does not count when millions of people are involved.

That is possible. Some people think the voting on the shows was rigged....who knows. Either way I think with all the attention surrounding both of them, I imagine they will be successful. They are both talented and deserve much success.

Who cares!I too dreamed a dream- that one day in the near future we will be rid of the "hairy angel" and the Cowells of this world.I suspect that the gullable fools who watch this trash caught themselves on.
