How many albums will Kris Allen sell on his first week? (Poll Closed)

If there was a selection for "Less than 30k" I would have chosen that. Bad news for Kris coming. Reality sets in. This just goes to show you how bogus the voting "guidelines" are at Idol. We have to assume his rec co. released what they thought to be the best cut form his album---and let's face it: It sucked and he sounded "blah" (because he is). See you at the unemployment line, Kris! Maybe Adam will give him a job as one of his his back ups.

Prepare yourself for disaster, Kris. Not gonna happen!

Joan, i bet you're an ugly fatass, who is probably unemployed or have a lame as job, haha what the hell are you doing with your life? Daym hater, go suck on adam's ballsack stupid cunt.

Did the 30 something million Kris Allen fans fall off the face of the earth or what????

Hi "alexadrea". Spell much? Go get an education you ass wipe. I reported your IP address as you have violated FCC regulations. Get a job, get a hobby and get a life outsdie of AI blogs. Why is MY MERE opinion so important to you? Why do I incite so much passion and rage in you when we never met? How curious and so very sad for you!!

Joan,
Alexadrea can't handle, like most Kris fans, that Adam is the bigger, more marketable artist and the true winner. Sad, but true. Get used to it Kris followers! Don't take it out on people like Joan just because she knows real talent and is just trying to state her opinion! Maybe, in time, you will learn to appreciate Adam's rare and unsurpassed talent too!!!! You will grow to love him just like the rest of the world has. You'll see!

Why in the world do you fans of Adam INSIST that everyone like him? What does it matter to you that people actually like Kris better than Adam? I happen to find Kris a very very talented musician with an amazing, mellow, and relaxing voice. I find Adam's voice irritating and shrill and honestly couldn't listen to a whole CD of his. So what that I don't like him. How does that affect you? I'm sure there's a lot of music I like that you all don't. Do you think that it bothers me? No, not in the slightest. I've heard about you fans of Adam but I never really paid attention to how fanatical and obnoxious you are until just recently. Pretty soon nobody will want to be associated with Adam because of his rabid fans. Unbelievable. He was a runner up on a karaoke show, he didn't turn water into wine, he's not healing the sick, he's not curing cancer or promoting world peace. Get over it.

ADAM....Adam adam....AdAm...aDaM...Oh NOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo.....I'm frothing at the mouth!!!! I MUST BE A "RABID ADAM FAN"***!!!*!**!*!*!!!!!!!

H-E-L-P M-E!!!!!!!

LOL!!!!

@ The World , lol---me too! Is it contagious? Stop us before we multiply and the world will be inhabited by only Rabid Adam fans. On second thought--Don't stop us! A world full of rabid Adam fans sounds pretty nice to me!

@MZ, before you criticize Adam fans, read the post by "Alexandrea" and then maybe it will give you context for Ted's post. Really--I'd rather read Ted's obnoxious Adam fantard post then some psychopathic hostile future convict like Alexandrea. Scary stuff!

Thanks, you two proved my point. Don't need any more proof.

MZ,
Glad to be of help!

Still, nobody answered why it bothers you all so much that they like Kris better than Adam. Can any of you answer that?

MZ, I'll try and answer it for you. That's because the fans of the creep are opinionated, rude, crass and feel the need to bring up Adam's name in EVERY conversation, regardless if it has anything to do with Adam or not. Why don't you go read some of the "fiction" these women write about Adam, or Kris and Adam as a "couple". It is mindblowingly disturbing. These women are actually writing porn involving Kris and Adam, or KRADAM, as they so lovingly call them. I have been so completly turned off by Adam's fans, and that in turn makes me almost dislike Adam. They act like he's greater than God himself, but in reality he's an over the top theater singer who has a penchant for men who look like schoolgirls. Each and every website I go on, where people are trying to have a conversation about Kris, these fanatics show up and put in their freaking unwanted 2 cents about how they feel Adam is SO much better than Kris. Well, I don't think so, and neither did millions of Americans just like me. If I enjoyed loud, screechy, shrilly screaming, I'd freaking listen to loud, screechy, shrilly screaming. But I don't. I like the kind of music that Kris sings, so I'm with you on that, MZ. The only thing I can tell you is to ignore the fans of Lambert, it's hard because they troll their way into everything. One or two members of the AI forums will tell all the other forum members to go post something about Adam here or there, and eventually the place gets overrun by ignorant hypocrites. They're quickly becoming the lepers of the internet community. If you need proof of that, boy, do I have proof.

Wow, 'Veronica L' How can you be so intimidated and get so seriously fixated on someone you never met?--- A celebrity, no less! Man, you need therapy. I am serious. You are taking this waaaaaaay too far.

MZ,
From my view, it seems to be the Kris fans here who are bothered by Adam and his fans. And I think the reason is pretty obvious.......

The Kris ans are the ones causing the ruckus on this blog. Why do they care who Adam's fans are and what their gender, age, weight. It's obsessive and sick. Veronica (the name you are using here now) seems to be the offender.

not all adam fans are horrible, we're just being honest abt how we think kris's album will perform, so deal with it, its just OUR opinion. you dont have to take this poll so seriously, so yeah if u're a real fan of kris, start buying multiple copies and his album will prob do sufficiently well on the charts. DO SMTH FOR KRIS RATHER THAN MOAN ABT THE POLL NUMBERS.

I think that Kris will sell more than 200 000 just because of all the fans he had on idol (I mean he did win so obviously there are a lot of people that like him) but I don't think his album will go platinum. And for people hating on Adam fans, just because someone is not a fan of Kris doesn't mean that they are a fan of Adam, and to the one who said Adam is a "creep" and people who are fans of him are rude, that sounded pretty rude to me, just saying.

Yo Jay, You are so right man. There are mega Adam bashers on this site. Jealous of his popularity. Why can't they be happy with Kris and leave Adam alone? Just because Adam is getting all of the attention? It's not his fault. It is due him. Go Adam! Go Kris! GO AWAY Adam haters, especially mentally unstable Veronica L.

And go away psycho Alexandrea. Both Veronica and Alexandrea are the same guy posing as a chick. So obvious man. You are not fooling anyone. Go take your meds! And stop taking your hurt and feelings of inferiority out on Adam. Go Adam! Go Kris! You guys rock. So awesome!

Keep it kind people. Take a cue from the way Adam and Kris treat each other. That is how they would like their loving fans to behave, and you will feel like a better human being for it.

Hey everyone!!!! I LOOOOOOOOVE Adam, here's chapter one of the story I'm writing about he and Kris!!! Hope you all like it :)

http://community.livejournal.com/idolslash/946716.html

I'm so glad I'm not famous. That was so dumb and childish lilacmajestyvpm.

Kris preggers with Adam's child, LOL! Too funny. I also have daydream fantasies of Adam and Kris hooking up. I don't think the possibility is completely out of left field.

Just sayin'

Adam Lambert is HOT. Check out this pic!!! http://dragstrip66.com/dragstrip66/july05photo/Image94.html

You guys are crazy if you think he will sell less than 50,000 in the first week. His idol fanbase GUARANTEES him at least 150,000 in sales, imo. I voted 200,000+, I guess I could see you voting 100,000-200,000, but less than 50,000? Really? Yeah, not gonna happen.

Btw alexadrea you have issues.

Love your avatar Sherena. Very cool....

Gross, Oliver, I know what Adam Lambert is, don't need to see anything like THAT again. I voted that he'll sell 100,000 - 149,999, probably more. I think Kris will do good, first of all, he's got millions teenage girl fans, they go nuts for this guy. Second of all, he's got a great voice, can sing pretty much anything out there, he's adorable, funny, sexy, the whole darn package, liked by kids, teens, young adults, adults and seniors. I think he's awesome, all you people who say otherwise are just jealous haters. Good luck, Kris, you won for a reason. I wish I knew why people are so bent out of shape over him winning. It's all pretty strange if you ask me.

"It's all pretty strange if you ask me...". Yes, I agree with you Nancy. It is pretty strange that he won and people, obviously, still have issues with the authenticity of his win when all factors, are combined. What I find worse is that when folks criticize Kris for his limited vocal range or his style, the haters have to turnaround and bring back Adam and say cruel and humanly demeaning and bigoted things about his lifestyle or his sexual activity. That is worse. Maybe the Kris supporters find Adam's talent threatening...I don't know. But if you need to criticize, do it constructively and limit it to their music and vocal ability. Okay?

Oliver you are an idiot if you think people are going to access your link when it is clear right in the url you unsuccessfully posted that it is a drag site (dragstrip66??) Umm..msot people who blog here can read so get a clue . You Kris fans are too much. Grow up.

I didn't criticize ANYONE, Jen. I find absolutely nothing threatening about the so called talent of Adam Lambert. This is a poll about Kris Allen, and once again, Adam Lambert fans turn it around to be about him. What in the hell is wrong with you people?

Kris will land rock bottom for singles/album sales lowest since AI started.
Adam has major support and has everyone in his corner, he will always be considered the winner. Not Kris fault but the voters who voted for the wrong reason. Adam has proven that he can and will succeed outside the AI bubble. I wish Kris the best with his musical career but facts are facts.

Please, you people and your stupid AI "bubble" theory. Adam Lambert has a fanbase of delusional over 45 women with some kind of pent up sexual peversion thing going on, same with Clay Aiken, another AI contestan, who, according to his fans, was going to "change the face of music as we know it". I would bet any money, that in the long run, Kris Allen will out sell and continue to be relevant in the music industry, way beyond anything Adam "Second Place" Lambert can be.

I def think Kris will be around for a LONG time. I live in a dorm, and already everyone is totally excited about Kris. He's "one of us", someone people my age can totally relate to. The girls on my floor have his pictures EVERYWHERE, he is totally hot. Not too many people my age that I know, whether personally and on the internet, find Adam Lambert relatable in any way, personally or musically. I guess he really is an "older woman" phenomenon, girls my age (19) certainly don't "get" him. We sure don't want to put a poster of a guy who's prettier than us up on our walls, we want a cute, approachable guy up there, one like Kris. I think for sure he'll sell close to 200,000, if not more. INDIANA UNIVERSITY LOVES LOVES LOVES YOU, KRIS!!! ROCK ON, BABY

Whoa! I go to NYU and we ALL love Adam to the max! Kris...goodbye! Adam we think you are awesome and like the rest of the world-we LOVE you to death!!!!

@zzzcrossdresing tranny freak:

Ha! You can call him Adam "second place" Lambert, but think about it? The guy has received so many MORE opportunities and accolades than Kris. Why? Because he is the true winner! Eat shit loser! HA HA ! you bigoted ass--You have a problem with the gay guy but guess what? HE IS THE ONE WHO EVERYONE WANTS--NOT Kris. Oh, but plenty of 11 year old girls with cell phones and no money to purchases albums, downloads and CDs are still Kris fans! Sooooo..who is really first place? Ahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha!!!!

Sure you do, "Jen", sure you do. Somebody came here and gave their honest opinion and you idiots just can't handle it, can you? Might as well go back to the Idol Forums to the "Grannies for Glambert" thread, you know, the one that has more members and more posts that any other thread on that forum, except for the Clay Aiken and Taylor Hicks thread. They appeal to the geriatric set, too. I'm having a hard time picturing you -ahem- "NYU" college girls dancing to Adam's glam rock song "Strut". Careful you don't break a hip, there, "Jen". Adam's soon to be released compilation of CRAP can't even be lumped into a category, he can't even describe what it's about. Honestly, do we REALLY need a male version of Lady Gag me? Adam did say this CD is going to be his "version of playing dress up". Oooh, what fun, an almost 30 year old "man" playing dress up. Sounds like good times. NOT. Glam rock died out more than 20 years ago and stayed there for a reason. Lambert's a tool and he's riding the fast train to fail town. Toot toot.

@Liar,
What the F___ is your issue? You seem to think that everyone who likes Adam is geriatric! No way! I love Adam and so do so many others in my college. You are reading too many fan mags. You are making yourself look like an idiot too. Do you seriously think that Adam is only appealing to old woman? You are so wrong! You have serious issues with homophobia! YOU ARE THE TOOL AND THE DICK!

Wow, Jen, all those years and years and years of pent up sexual frustration is certainly making you cranky. That's ok, you have your twisted little Adam fantasies to keep your mind occupied. He might switch teams just for you, keep trying.

Ignore the troll "Liar" (good name for him). He has nothing better to do than to tear apart a celebrity whom he never even met! Soooooooo lame. He is the troll D'jour on this site. Hopefully he will find some menial labot job soon, lol!

awww, don't be so sensitive because we like Kris 1,000's better than Adam and you for some reason can't handle it. When the nurse is done feeding you your applesauce and prune juice, have her walk you down to the arts and crafts room. You can get some construction paper, some Elmer's glue and some glitter and make yourself an "I <3 Adam Lambert" poster!!! Have the nurse tape it to the front of your walker!!! Then EVERYONE at the assisted living center will know exactly where you're comin' from! You go, grandma, you go!!!!

You would be so happy you loser-at-life who cannot handle Adam's UNSURPASSED fame--if he failed. But guess what? Adam is NEVER going to fail! He is here to stay! Get used to it! Go obsess about something else and stop being so emotionally invested in one celebrity. Adam and Kris will never care about your uneducated opinion or notice you no matter what you try to pull. You are truly a certifiable cyber stalker!!! Go get a job.

@Liar....What a waste of time and energy you are giving out. All you seem capable of doing is spewing out hateful 'zingers' in an attempt to make yourself feel witty and powerful, when in fact it is showing everybody how far you have to go to spiritually evolve, and it is a long long way from where you are now. Kris would not feel proud to have a fan like you. He would consider you an embarrassment. You seriously need to take a reflective look at yourself and find out why you have all this small minded hate dwelling inside of you. It impresses no one. We can see through you! Kris and Adam are both wonderful, loving and talented young men with bright futures. If you are coming from the right place in your heart and being, you will realize how wrong it is to try to convince the world that one is better or 'superior' to the other. Like all of us, we each bring our own special qualities and talents to the lives of people around us. I can only wish you luck on your spiritual journey through life because I think you are going to need it. Leave beauty and kindness where ever you go, and throw your ugly thoughts and remarks and bigoted thinking in the trash where they belong. I wish you love, wisdom, and a kinder heart.

Amazing how much this one person, posting as several, is threatened by Adam's success! He is either an overly obsessed Kris Allen fan or a homophobic bigot. I haven't a clue which, could be both! Or is it a result of deep seated homosexual tendencies that make him compose hate-ridden messages; or a text book Freudian case of simple compensatory displacement? Reducing Adam and then his entire fan base to the elderly makes him look like a sore loser. Adam's fans are not one isolated demographic. I am sorry that you cannot accept Adam's fame and awesomeness. Maybe season 9 your pick will win. Better now? Poor you!

And isn't it funny that YOUR IP address is the one that is showing for A LOT of these comments? The very same IP address. Hmmmm, what's up with that?

and No it is not as I only posted under one other name on this entire blog so "Liar" is still a big "liar", lol! My internet provider address can only appear on a total of 4 posts on Rickey's entire blog and under only 2 different names--the one I always use and "Pity"--the name dedicated to you, because of the pity and sympathy I feel for you given your dire mental condition. All better now?

Nope, I'm looking right now at your IP address, and it's showing up over and over and over again. Lie much? It doesn't matter what name you use, your IP address will ALWAYS be the same, unless you use a different computer. I've found your IP address all over the place, and almost each and every time it has something to do with Adam Lambert. Not much of a life there, huh "Pity"? Talk about pity.

Sorry bored person who requires attention from total virtual strangers, but you need a new hobby that does not involve the internet. You are wrong 100% and you know it! You are making up lies for others to read who do not know better. I assure you my IP address will show up under 2 names only. BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU? You have continually and persistently flamed Adam under several various pseudonyms. Fess up loser. If you really know what you are talking about, please feel free to name my internet provider (which will be indicated via my IP address) and my state since it will also be available via my IP address. Go ahead. Since you have all of this information at hand (lol!). I dare you! I double dare you!!

HA! You are not savvy or smart enough to figure out who posted under what names. But I am!

ADAM LAMBERT IS HOT! HE IS A GENUINE MEGA TALENT!!!!

It's easy to do with the right software, moron. Your IP address is all over the place, if I printed out everywhere you've been I'd need a thousand sheets of paper. Do you want to know what your IP address is? I can tell you right now if you don't know. It is unbelievable how many websites you've visited and how many comments you've made about this runner up in a stupid singing contest. Does your husband know how many hours of your day you spend on the internet fawning over some gay theater singer? Do you even have time to pay attention to anything outside of Adam Lambert? How would you feel if your husband spent most of his day online drooling over some female singer? You seem lonely and pathetic, you'd have to be to spend as much time as you do on the internet following around some creep. Remember, beotch, you started this, this was a poll about Kris Allen, not your little posterboy for strange.

Wow, liar, or whoever you are. You are a ridiculous excuse for a person. I am going to go on the limb here and say you are a man in your 30s. Now, I am sixteen, and I know how to treat people with respect. You are ruining this poll for all of us, Kris and Adam fans alike. You should be ashamed of yourself. I had my parents read what you said, and they were shocked by the amount of disrespect that can come from one person. Get a life and stop trying to get the last word in. Oh, and for the record, I am a fan of neither Kris or Adam, I am a fan of Allison!

On another note, I am sorry to all Kris fans, but in his first week I see him selling at most 100,000 copies of his album, and I am only saying that because so far the sales of his first single have been disappointing.

hahaha! Looks like liar is also BSer! He can't provide the information that he purportedly had in a lame attempt to bolster his inane and obsessive argument! The fact that you state that I am female and married and that I am posting as several people is an accusation that you cannot support. I agree with "amazed" who said you are a male and in your 30's...probably with an alcohol problem and out of work too. Boy, do I pity you now!

The best part is that your argument supports the fact that Adam's fan base is so diversified! Fools like you assume that fat, ugly old married woman make up his fan base. I could not be further from that demographic!

So please, put your money where your mouth is: WHAT is my IP address? Prove you know it! Her's your chance, pathological liar!! Remember now..you said right in this poll that you were looking at it. Please tell me my IP address number and my internet provider. I DARE YOU. Show everyone here that you are not making shit up. Prove that you are not the loser everyone here knows that you are! So, what is it? Yup, Pitiful!

Why is this guy so jealous of Adam to go out of his way to be cutting and cruel? Liar, Why do you have to try to prove Adam is unworthy? What's in it for you? Why does he have this huge of an effect on you? Why does Adam scare you so much? Are YOU gay? Do you hate yourself that much? You are a very hostile person and I hope you are aware of that.

I think he will easily sell 200K+. People love his song and they love Kris! His fans will come out for him. Just wait!

The jerk who keeps hating on Adam needs a life! You are the liar and the jerk. Go to hell Adam-hater. If you hate him and his fans so much why are you wasting your time talking about him/them.

Kris himself has stated that Adam would be an icon. That was never his goal. That said, the competition is over folks. Kris has established himself as a type of singer that does not go out of style. He is not fashion and flare, he is not fad, he is that type of basic we all go back to, like home cooking. He will have a long career and he will get the chance to have a family life, and make a good living doing what he loves. He may not make billions, but he will never hurt. The realistic goals he set now will pay off, down the road. He has a beautiful voice and delivers his songs with feeling, honesty and depth. His work will always sell.

You idiots went WAY out on the WRONG limb. I can hack my way into anything I want, and find out just about anything about you losers. Looks like "Pity" or "Jen" gets off on some pretty strange stuff.

Liar,

yeah sure.........we believe you.........NOT!

and do you realize that computer hacking, even at a very low level, is against the law? Punishable by imprisonment? I wouldn't brag about it on a public board.

ooooh, "The World" scared ME straight. Please, please, don't call your lawyer, ok???

I think everyone should take a step back and reflect on what it is you're giving out to the world and each other, because I know all of you have better in you than this petty small stuff that you're aiming at each other. Take a look at the bigger picture here, and you will realize this is so unnecessary and ridiculous. Whatever you give out to the world and others, is what you can expect to get back for yourself.

@Liar, veronica, Alexadrea, zzztrannyfreak, swastika and all of the distasteful aliases you've posted under on Ricky's blog. They all match one IP address--the same one! Bagged!

It is scary the volume of hardcore male porn sites that comes up under your IP address. I mean what appear to be really freaky, outrageous, sick, Quasi--illegal stuff. Yuck! I think we all now have a better understanding of your motives You are really a disgusting guy. Pervert! And you are a hypocrite! Adam will never want you....trust me!

Can we stop now? I agree with you that the guy is a troll and a jerky Adam hater with a personal agenda, but enough is enough. While I am an Adam fan, this is a poll about Kris.

Cute, "hmmmm...", real cute. Why don't you go ahead and post my IP address right here, go ahead, do it now. I don't care. I can post yours if you want me to.

Thank you, Annie, that's all I wanted to hear. This poll had NOTHING to do with Adam Lambert.

@Liar

Odd, Liar, that one would go to the obsessive lengths that you have only to confirm that the thread should be devoted to Kris Allen. You need meds, dude.

OH BROTHER! Did anyone ever think of the fact that Adam was the first to congradulate Kris after he won? They are best friends & will be supporting each other... I think they would want their fans to do the same. Kris doesn't hate Adam... neither should his fans. Adam doesn't hate Kris... neither should his fans.

Another thing people, ADAM AND KRIS HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES! Duh! Some people like rock & others like pop. Their voices are also VERY different. If you like both of them GREAT! If not then it's okay, they both have different styles & so do we... that's why we're not always fans of the same people.

Look Adam fans, we all know that you love Adam & I agree (some won't... and that's okay) that he's very talented & has a great stage presence. But that doesn't mean that EVERYONE HAS TO LIKE HIM! Stop forcing your opinions on everyone else & looking down on them just because they listen to Kris okay? It's crazy... even Adam HIMSELF is listening to Kris's album. And vice versa.

Kris fans, yea I know Adam is stealing all of the good media coverage & all of these Adam fans who can't get over the fact that Kris won are the people reviewing Kris's album but don't fight over it! If you're really Kris lovers then you won't make it seem like he only has haters for fans... it's really unfair for him.

GET OVER IT PEOPLE! AI IS OVER! Stop comparing Kris to Adam... it's ridiculous, all of these album review I read they're always talkinga about how they won't be listening to Kris...but the NEW music ADAM is putting out (new? HELLO! Lady GaGa ppl!). It's like someone reviewing Taylor Swift but saying that they'll be listening to The Black Eyed Peas instead...nuff said.

You're all talking about how the media is biased. How about pointing the finger at yourself first?
