" If he is there a big difference in your opinion in talent between the two men you know they're both. Pretty talented had Lambert them maybe gay guys you put that he is the better finger. But they both have different sort of ways of performing -- look that different techniques of performing in Chris Allen -- the Christian is a probably appealing to younger voters. So I just wanted to say you know before we crown at Lambert because he's clearly the front -- there is definitely a Christian element.
