    Oh Crispy as in Krispy Cremes aka Kris Allen’s frauen fanbase. Oh how sad too bad Kris is not winning the rise to the top in CD sales. His cheesy single is a rip off word for word note for note of the Scripts version. Rickey melted down about how bad the 4 songs he heard are. So what do you Krispy’s do, run around the internet dissing on Adam. Forget about it. Adam’s single will be ORIGINAL. Adam’s CD will be INCREDIBLE. So just go back into GROUP THERAPY!

    • crispy

      I have no idea what you are talking about… but I do love glazed donuts!

      • Sam

        You can’t be snarky and use the term “Frauen” if you are a frauen already. Stop tarding.

      • Matt

        Stop tarding? Is that even a word?

    • wm

      Just like you’re dissing on Kris. It works both ways. You’re no better with that comment.

  • Nina

    You go Adam! Can’t wait to hear your new music!

  • terie

    Additionally to all the other “firsts” since ADAM’S appearance … WHEN did BOTH KISS and QUEEN appear in ANY finale on AI??? Do you really think they would have THIS year if ADAM had not been there??? I think NOT!!!

  • Peace out

    Here we go again with negative posts. Let Kris be Kris. Let Clay Aiken have his tiara. Let Adam do his thing. There is room for all of them on your ipods if you like them. I am glad we have variety of artists for all of our moods and whims. Okay, so I think Adam is the most amazing and talented force of nature. That doesn’t mean I have to dis the others. People need to peace out.

    • KC3

      This. Allison is my favorite but I’m excited to hear Adam and Kris’s stuff. Kris is working with some amazing songwriters and producers, I have a feeling he will surprize a lot of people.

    • wm

      Peace out, thank you for that comment. I agree 100%. What’s up with all the childish remarks?

  • wandalette

    I was a casual Idol fan, watching the show every year but never caring about the contestants after that. Season 8 found me turned to a puddle of goo by Adam Lamberts stunning vocals and irresistible charm. Hearing his voice makes me happy. Argue with that.

    • Anneika

      @wandalette – Likewise here. Never been a fan of anyone. Never blogged. Adam changed all that. He gives me so much happiness during AI season. Have to check out the internet daily for news about him. I’m so excited with his coming album because they are new songs for me to enjoy listening to all day!

  • Mandylou

    Hi I for one am really happy that Adam has been doing so well in pre sales. My view, for what is worth, is that Adam is already a global star in the making – I am from UK & I preordered mine there in June – well done Adam!

    • well

      I’m not buying anything until I hear it. You cold absolutely hate his music even if you love him.

    • wm

      I don’t think his album was available for pre-order in June. I thought is came available in Sept.

  • susan

    Can’t wait. Considering Linda Perry is responsible for Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful I’m expecting a huge ballad there. It’s saying something when the winner Kris Allen’s album comes out the week BEFORE Adams and where is he. His first single is also tumbling down the itunes chart. What happened to kris allen fans?

    • LT

      Kris’ album has actually jumped 20 spots in the last day or so to #38 on Itunes.

      • LT

        I meant his single.

      • melodies

        He bombed on iTunes. Even Archuleta went to #1 on iTunes and stayed there for a week. Allen hasn’t even cracked the top 10.

      • Trish

        I like Kris, therefore I won’t put him down just to make Adam look better. Adam doesn’t need anything or anyone to make him look better, HE JUST IS! I have listened to Kris’s new single, and while it is not my cup of tea, it isn’t all bad. But to me that is not his fault, it is TPTB behind him. Adam would never allow that to happen to him. If he did decide to do a cover song, he would make it his own just like he did on Idol. I had hoped Kris would have too, like he did with Heartless. I am so happy Adam is mature enough, and that he will stand up for what he wants. Good luck Kris but Adam, you don’t need me to say that, YOU ARE LUCK!

        ROCK ON ADAM ROCK ON!

    • crispy

      Ok, I’ll give you one for “Beautiful.” I can’t stand Linda Perry, but that is a good song.

    • wm

      Hey Susan, Is it really necessary to diss Kris? You sound very immature. By the way, I’m a Kris fan that didn’t want to pre-order. I’ll be at the store the day it’s released to buy it. I hope both Kris and Adam have success!

  • Lisa

    I love Adam, have pre-ordered multiple copies, have bought everything that I can find related to him and will continue as a fan forever. I could care less what anyone else in the world thinks and I think we need to forget about AI. Adam will be find his path and it will lead him far beyond Idol.

    • Sam

      That is why Adam is number two. Because his Claymates bought multiple copies. That is cheating really, and worthless, and doesn’t count so much after the first week of sales. Lil Wayne will outsell Adam I will predict.

      • Matt

        Lil Wayne? Are you kidding dude? Adam is number two due to his fans. It would take alot of fans to pre-order alot of his albums to make him number one. My point is not just a few, no matter how many they bought could do this alone.

      • adamsluvjnes

        to Sam – why is it cheating to buy more than one album? I don’t get it. Tell me why.

      • crispy

        It’s not cheating… but it is colossally stupid.

      • staciegirlie

        Oh, Sam. Have you ever heard of buying Christmas gifts for other people?

      • terie

        FYI … ADAM’S pre-sales have been limited to 3 per customer due to the OVERWHELMING response … and without any official promotion … only WORD of MOUTH. Can’t wait till they hit the shelves as well!!

    • terie

      Lisa: I TOTALLY AGREE with you … there is NOTHING that ANYONE can say on these message boards that would cause me to CHANGE MY MIND about ADAM … he is in my life to stay and any TRUE FAN would feel the SAME!!! PROUD ADAM FAN

      • crispy

        You need therapy.

      • wm

        terie, you sound a little obsessed!

  • Kira

    It only took one page for the comments to deteriorate into Adam vs. Kris debacle. Did you know that Amazon #1 means about 1,000 units and if he stays #1 for three weeks…you do the math. This is based on last year’s David Cook’s sales. Yeah, all Idols cd’s have been incredible for some listeners so chill and enjoy your Idol and music in general.

    • melodies

      Allen isn’t even in the top 100 of Amazon sales. LOL. You can try to diminish Adam’s pre-orders if you want, but it actually makes Allen look even worse in comparison. Carry on. :)

      • OH JESUS

        IT IS NOT A COMPETITION ANYMORE. THEY ONLY THING ADAM AND KRIS HAVE IN COMMON MUSIC WISE IS THE FACT THAT ARE BOTH TALENTED AND WERE BOTH IN THE TOP 2. THEY’RE NOT EVEN MAKING THE SAME GENRE OF MUSIC. SERIOUSLY, STOP WITH THE COMPARISON WARS, THEY’RE LAME.

      • wm

        melodies, stop with the comparisons. They aren’t competing. Like who you like but quit trying to put down Kris just because you prefer Adam.

  • terie

    AHHH!!! chunkymunky … You CLAYMATES just can’t stay away from anything about ADAM can you?? lol

  • tal

    no argument here,adam lambert is international he has a huge fan base in israel..well we just love this talented guy!

    • amelle

      I have no idea whether or not I will like his album but I hope Adam comes to London soon. He needs to do an interview with Jonathan Ross like yesterday. Speaking of, Kris is here in London right now recording for his album.

      • Matt

        What a way to promote Kris in this. Actually good job.

  • melodies

    Adam is the star and the icon. Don’t be mad that the winner flopped, just accept the truth and let the meaningless title comfort you – for now. When Adam blows that other guy away in sales, the “winner” will be known as a joke forever after, just like Taylor Hicks. lol.

    The storm is coming, “benches.”

    • JJ

      You sound like such a blatant troll.

  • Spiceyone

    He will exceed all idols put together. All of us Glamberts have been right all along. GO Adam. We love you!!!! America was WRONG!!!

    • lol

      Oh please. Adam’s awesome but do you realize how irrational you sound? I wouldn’t be surprized if you were a troll mocking the crazies. I love Adam but his fans pre-ordering his album proves nothing.

      • Matt

        Sure it does. It proves that by word of mouth only, his fans are out pre-ordering his album. Without any single being promoted on the internet, or TV. Without even his record label, RCA, putting out any press. So, yeah, it proves ALOT!

      • crispy

        Yup, it proves that his fans are obsessives who lack the ability to form rational and objective opinions. (See Claymates 2.0)

      • Angelica

        If Adam being #1 now in pre-sales is NOTHING, why then is it big news on CNN? Like Showbiz Tonight? I don’t know the other channels because that’s all we have here in HongKong.

      • Matt

        I think his fans are rational in that they see how great he is, and they support him. They are objective because they have heard all the other idols and they chose Adam. I don’t think any one fan decided to become a fan just because. Now that would prove your point if it were true.

      • terie

        The fact that there has been NO promotion for this pre-sale and that it is available in other countries (UK, JAPAN, CANADA, GERMANY) by WORD of MOUTH ONLY and has done so WELL speaks VOLUMES of his WORLDWIDE FANBASE whereas Barbra S. has been appearing on TV, has commercials promoting her album and has been an established STAR for umpteen years … just the fact that he could even get close to her let alone surpass her at ANY given time says a WHOLE LOTTA LOVE from a WHOLE LOTTA PEOPLE!! IMO

  • Marilyn

    My goodness, such pettiness. Adam will do well despite all the fans of others who come to taunt.

  • Dave

    Thanks for posting the Article, looking forward to Adams future..looks like this comment section turned into a chat room..
    ADAM ROCKS

    • Kevin

      It does look like a chatroom. That seems to happen alot around Adam and his “fans”. Take one article, or one comment, and off they go. Makes you wonder if they are sane or not.

      • LT

        How would you know that unless you were looking and commenting on every article too? LMAO!

      • Matt

        I only see one Kevin on here. I DO see alot of LT though. You one and the same?

      • terie

        Kevin: I am one of ADAM’S fans … and I am neither insane nor senile (just added that because of my age) and my only interest in ADAM is for his AMAZING VOICE. He has a way of making my days a little happier with his ROCK & ROLL music, while also mesmerizing me with his BALLADS. Thank goodness for my computer and Ytube … don’t watch much TV anymore. When I read all the hateful and derogatory remarks on these message boards I feel compelled to “speak up” on ADAM’S behalf. I’m not mean spirited … only protective. Thank You

      • Kevin

        Touche’ Terie. I have been put in my place. ;)
