American Idol's Runner-Up Adam Lambert: "It Felt So Good"

"What a night, right?" asked Adam Lambert backstage after tonight's American Idol finale, a big smile on his face. "It felt so good. I got to sing with Queen and with Kiss. I mean, first or second, it doesn't matter to me; I got to sing with two great, heroic rock bands."

Check out else what he had to say about the big show, coming in second and his future plans...

What did you feel in those last moments when they announced the winner?

Well, you know, I knew it was going to be a close race. Kris is incredibly talented, and he's a good person. For me it was like, okay, we know it's going to be close. Whatever happens, happens. We made it this far. We got to do a really cool finale, and we're both gonna get to do great things in the future. For me, it's not really about what happens tonight. It's about tomorrow.

What's immediately next?
We're going start working on some music right way. That's what I can't wait to do: to collaborate, to write, to cowrite, to create visuals that go along with the music, too. That's gonna be really exciting.

Have you received any offers yet?
A couple. Just a few here and there. [Go Adam. ]

What did the judges say to you after the show tonight?
Paula from the get-go has been super-supportive. I walked into the room and she just had the warmest, most positive energy. She just said she's proud of me. It's been a very encouraging environment. I never felt like, Well, you can't do that or you can't sing that and you can't say that and you can't wear that. It was like: Adam, do your thing. Which was really cool. When I was younger, it was scarier to take risks and I kept pushing myself throughout my early 20s to where it wasn't scary anymore.

Will you collaborate with Allison Iraheta?
I love Allison; we'll see. That'll be really cool.

Blogs are going to say, 'If he wins it's because he's gay, or if he loses it's because he's gay.' What do you think of that?
Is that what they're gonna say? [Laughs] Those blogs have a lot of opinions, don't they? [Laughs] I think that Kris won because he's a great artist and I was happy to be a runner-up to that.
[Awww. I lvoe the way he answered the question. Great guy. ]
What's your goal now?
My dream now is to make a really dope record. Do something new. Push the boundaries a little bit. Push people's buttons. Open people's minds up a little bit. If there's anything that can come from this experience I hope that all the fans out there can pick up that even if you're really different there's a way to get along with each other. We did the Queen duet and we made it work because we found a common ground with each other.

What was your strategy on the show this season?
My strategy was to show all different sides. There's a very fine line between giving the audience what they wanted and then also me trying to give them stuff that maybe they didn't know they wanted.

Tell us about your style.
I like things that make you look. I don't like to blend in. I like to stand out. This is a Cavalli jacket that I'm really, really into.

Are you happy with your new Ford Fusion Hybrid?

The Fusion is beautiful. It's so whisper quiet. Hybrid all the way. Let's protect the environment.

About Kris.

American Idol's Kris Allen: Looking Forward to Married Life Again

Sure, winning American Idol is great. But Kris Allen is really looking forward to getting back to being a husband.

After tonight's big win, the Conway, Arkansas-bred singer faced his wife, Katy, and said, "Ah, we can be married." He explained to reporters backstage after the finale: "We haven't been able to be married for the last nine months. She's amazing. She's just the coolest chick in the world. Hopefully, me and my wife will get to spend some more time together."

Kris also explained why he told Adam onstage in front of millions of viewers that he thought the rocker deserved to win. Read on for that and more...

On Saying Adam "Deserves" the Win: "I actually feel that. He deserves this just as much as I do. He's an amazing performer and a gifted guy. And a really amazing guy. It was fun doing this with him. Adam does his thing and I'm going to do mine. That's what I did throughout this whole competition and I think it worked. Obviously, it worked."

On Hearing His Name Called: "I was shocked. I felt shocked almost every week that I made it. And, to be the American Idol, I'm completely shocked."

On 38 of the 100 Million Votes Coming from Arkansas: "If that's true, I really, really appreciate that. I know that Arkansas was really behind me. Arkansas is a great state. And, there's not a whole lot happens in Arkansas. So I think they were rallying behind me."

On the Highlight of Tonight: "Tonight was the coolest because, seriously, I got to sing with Queen. Wow. That was amazing."

On His Keith Urban Duet: "The country route, I don't know that I'm going to go that way. But it was really, really fun performing with him. He's great. It was a lot of fun." [I liked their duet. ;)]

On His Musical Direction: "I think it's pretty obvious that I've done a lot of the pop singer-songwriter/pop rock kind of thing and that's what I want to do."

On the Best Part of Competition: "The best thing throughout the whole competition, and I know it sounds cheesy, but we made some really good friends. I love those guys. I really do."

On Winning the Ford Fusion: "I think my wife is more excited about it than I am. [But] I try to be very eco-friendly." [LOL..]
