Adam was an amazing singer way before American Idol. He “lost” because of Arkansas cheating. Please do not call him a “runner up” when he is light years more talented than the Chick-fil-a Idol who had his whole state power texting thousands of votes each.The World now knows who Adam is now so stop reminding people of this travesty.
