I don't think Adam needed it to have a career. He'll be fine and move on to make millions and an awesome record and tour.

Kris needed the win for a career to be established or else he would turn into another idol no name we do not remember 4 years from now.

Like what's her name.

Can't think of it actually.

Anyways, I'm glad Kris won and hope they both move on to do great things.

But adam will PWN Kris in the record sells.
