Clay Aiken was asked on outq why gay contestants don't win on AI. Quote from twitter:
I don't think that Adam's sexuality had anything to do with it [coming in second on Idol]. I think that the reason Adam came in second was because Adam appeals to a niche audience. He still appeals to a very, very loyal niche audience, and Kris Allen had a much broader, universal, many would say "vanilla" appeal, and when you're letting America vote on these shows, they're going to pick the most broad appealed person ... it's going to be the popular vote." (then he says that many artists on labels who are "extremely successful" wouldn't do well on Idol).
Easy for Clay to say since he was deep in the closet during his AI run and stayed in it for years, even denying he was gay to the media and his fans! STFU Clay and go sing your stale oldie's songs! :

And it's true - Trespassing is now #3 on iTunes. Passed by Tenacious D.Adam ain't gonna get his wish to be #1. My iTunes is showing still at #2 ETA: Just refreshed again and now it's showing #3. Could it be jumping back and forth?

Well, this is unfortunate timing. Tenacious D was just on NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" (the show that Mika thought would be perfect for Adam). I believe that he is still one spot behind Adam on the iTunes Album chart. He had a nice 10 minutes to promote the album ... he's very funny and it was a pretty good vehicle for more sales. Again, it's a news-comedy show, and he's a comedian/actor. He also has a movie out right now. Really bad timing.. now Tenacious D is #2 on iTunes. :(
