I didn't watch American Idol, but after a quick Google/Scroogle search I see the winner was someone called Kris Allen - the obvious (and only) answer I can give to this question is that Adam Lambert didn't get enough votes, whereas Kris Allen did!

Votes were not the only reason he did not win.

And why is that?

If you want to refute a fact, please do so in your comment entitled "Fact Refuted" rather than just in your answer.

Here, you're not refuting a fact, just typing a short sentence...

Please review my answer below. Here are my quotes
-quote-
"According to the NY Daily News, A poll was conducted as to why he lost against Kris Allen. The majority of the poll went to the reasoning of, "Adam's look didn't appeal to Middle America."

He also took to some big risks in some of the songs he decided to sing such as Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. Simon Cowell said, "absolute indulgent rubbish" of his particular choice of songs to sing.

Kris Allen didnt take too many musical risks, and this ended up favoring him to win in the end.
-end quote-

Your research should have a little more content, than to just say he did not get enough votes.

I did review your answer.

My answer was a simple one, but so what?

It makes sense, doesn't it?

Exactly, the American public gave more votes to Kris Allen, hence my answer above.

You should have written the American public. Hence, content backing up your research.

"You should have written the American public"

Where?

Where and why should I have done that?

What difference does that make?

Explaining why he got votes, is better than saying "Adam Lambert did not get enough votes, whereas Kris Allen did!". Your answer would have come off looking liking it has more substance from your sources. It makes a BIG difference backing up your answer.
