If Lambert was straight he wins. It's hard for teen aged girls to get crazy and vote til their fingers bleed when they know you're unobtainable. Plus being gay is going to cost you heavily in the bible belt. Gays are only 2% of the population, so as rabid as they may have been about him there's no way they could overcome the bible thumping gokey masses.

That being said, it was apparently extremely close. Dial Idol(the only prediction site that was right by the way), had it at less than a 1% margin of victory.

I'm happy for the little fella. Classic underdog david vs goliath/cinderella story. The American dream personified really.

Besides, seeing Lambert with KISS tonight just reinforced my belief that he is poised for "all time greatness."

I mean he could literally join KISS and make them right now, overnight, one of the hottest Rock bands on earth, bring them right back to their heyday and then some.

Queen too, for that matter.
