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).
"Adam arguably has had more success at radio than Kris Allen has, but Adam's got a niche that works well for him, and I don't think that it had anything to do with his sexuality, and I think that it had to do with vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor in the country. How often do you go to the store and buy vanilla and say "Ooh, I love vanilla", no, but we eat more of it than anything else, than rocky road. People get more excited about mint chocolate chip." Kimberly Locke said it better Adam is so out of the box that America doesn't know what to do with it. They curious about him and want to watch him (evident of the ratings on TV) but they're not ready for his HUGE talent. three years later and we are still talking about why Adam didn't win Idol. IMO - Most of Danny's voters switched to Kris, plain and simple. Watch, this year it will be Phillip Phillips. Adam nailed it when he said in the Lyndsey interview, "Who always wins" WGWG = White Guy with Guitar David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee Dewyse, Scotty McCleery, last 4 years!!!!!

There is a way to set up a US itunes account if you are overseas. This might interest anjalee too. I'm not totally sure of the details, this is from memory, but I've seen people say they have done this is other Adam fan places. They purchase an itunes gift-card with paypal or something (this gets around the need for a US credit card), then pay for their downloads with this. When they are going to set up the account and get to a place where they need to enter a creditcard, they download one of itunes 'free' apps and this gets around it somehow and lets them create the account. It's kind of complicated, but if you think you'd like to have US itunes for other reasons, might be worth it. Oh, yeah, sounds complicated :-/ My brain just aren't used for this kind of calculations ;D All in all I see I need paypal account anyway :-/ Hm-m-m, actualy, if I have time to figure it out I can do it, the problem is I wanted to do it all pronto, for it to count towards the first week sales, but by the time I actually have time to sit and do it, it won't be the case, cause I think I'll have time some time on Wednesday or so, have too much on my hands till then, so :-/ :-/ :-/ But thank you for that explanation, I'll look into it for the future. JanuarySnow - I PMed you. Also, I want to try iTunes anyway. May be it'll work.

Adam Lambert þ@adamlambert Keep Pushin Glamily!! Let's get it back to #1 on iTunes! #Trespassing If you can afford to, you can purchase 1 copy, and gift up to 6 to other people on iTunes. All you need is an email address to gift to. The person must d/l the album to receive credit. Adam is currently #2 behind, of all things, AI artists. email this to every Adam fan you know!! Let's get this for Adam. Deadline is Sunday night at midnight, when they will take the status for first week sales. I just sent this email out (with the graphics provided by chapf and the pic of the iTunes chart) To everybody I had on my email list from the Houston TakeOver party from 2 years ago., about 75 email addresses. Some of you Atoppers were on that list, so you will get one. Just doing what I can. I am so sorry for all people in Finland on behalf of that we are unable to participate in this...
