I don't think Kris is gay now or ever will be. He's just that bland sort that lacks self-confidence and not cut out to be an entertainer. Non-threatening goes over big with the prepubescent females.
I didn't like Adam the first time I saw/heard him perform but everybody was saying in the first week that he was going to win. His looks do nothing for me. He personifies everything I hate that perpetuates incorrect stereotypical interpretations of what it is to be a gay man. BUT, just like Liberace, he's a flashy performer who can entertain. I'd never pay to see him, but can't deny his talent and potential to fill concert halls. I can see him following Prince's footsteps. He will have to branch out and tone down the screaming though, or he'll get boring in a hurry.
Danny deserved to be in the top two, but the Kris fans kicked him out. Adam would have still lost out to Danny, I think, but at least it would have been a better match-up. Hell, even Allison would have been a better match-up than Kris.
As has been stated, Kris should be a nobody right away, but now that he holds the title, he's going to get a little more exposure than he could have mustered up on his own. If they haul him out to perform during next season's finale like they did with David Cook last night, that will for sure be the last we'll ever see of him.
I'll bet the record producers who are now faced with Kris instead of Adam are re-thinking their lavish vacation plans.
