			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s not because he’s gay. (Hello? I’m editing an anthology titled <em>I Kissed a Girl</em>.) It’s not because he dresses in <a href="http://www.theinsider.com/news/1767114_American_Idol_s_Adam_Lambert_is_a_hot_Drag_Queen">drag</a>. He definitely has the most talent of any contestant on American Idol, past, present and probably future. So why am I not voting for him? Because I believe being the American Idol will actually hold him back. Adam is already a star. I can’t even fathom how many recording companies are hoping he loses.</p>
<p>There is much media controversy over the <a href="http://dir.salon.com/story/ent/feature/2002/09/18/idol_contract/index.html">control</a> American Idol (19 Management Company) maintains over its winners, i.e. Kelly Clarkson. Adam needs to put American Idol behind him, move on to the best offer and write his own contract that will allow him to be <em>who</em> he truly is. America is ready! We’ve demonstrated that by voting him into the finals. But now, we the voters, need to step back and give him control of his own destiny.</p>
<p>Kris Allen, on the other hand, needs the American Idol engine behind him to boost him into stardom. Kris is talented, no doubt. I’ve liked him from the beginning. He has an excellent voice, he’s creative, has musicality, and his acoustic ballads are memorable, plus tweeners adore him. He’ll be a worthy Idol.<br />
And let Adam be the star he was born to be!</p>
