This is such a cute video! I love their relationship! I love warm fuzzy friendly finales. Kradam are definitely super close, which I love. It's just a very genuine, sweet friendship. I'm so glad they were the final 2. Oh, and this video kind of weirdly reminds me of this video from the red carpet of the Davids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHWi_id7be0 Bromance FTW. Awww.

I absolutely adore it. And I adore those two guys ... what genuine love and affection they have for each other. What's great is that the minute Adam turns around and they hug, they just keep talking to each other ... it's like they've completely forgotten they're surrounded by media, etc. The fact that they can be so happy to see each other and check on how the other one is doing is made of precious. I am a massive Adam fan, but seeing how Adam genuinely loves his friend makes me feel all right (...just about) that Kris took the title. Back to watch again ... :wub_tb: OMG I cannot stop watching this clip! I absolutely adore it. And I adore those two guys … what genuine love and affection they have for each other.

Slightly off topic but in many of the videos for Cook's recent tour DC and his bandmates freely express the concern & caring for each other in "bromantic" ways - random touching and hugging. Cool. It's great to see men who can support each other like this. I think guys who can express feelings in this way are the ones who the most secure in their own sexuality.

Also the sentiments about Christianity not being the sole standard for charity and love. All religions have those virtues at their center. Growing up a Baha'i, I was surrounded by a lot of Persians, and talk about a different culture! Persian men are much more physically affectionate and a lot less threatened by that kind of intimacy with other men. It saddens me when I see non-Baha'is at at events who get uncomfortable seeing young Persian-American and other American Baha'is who grew up in the Faith being intimate with each other. I've had people question me about the sexuality of young men just because they would have the audacity to hug or hold another guy! Actually, in the same way Kris came up behind Adam! I never even though of it as odd until a few years ago when someone first questioned me. Those two just bring joy to my heart. Really.

You know, even on Larry King tonight, Ryan used the word "bromance" as a way to segue into a question about Adam's sexuality. There was like an involuntary jump in his mind from "close, intimate friendship between men" to "homosexuality". Just to repeat myself: that's sad, because it tells guys that if there is an emotional connection between men, if there is genuine love between male friends--even the kind of intimacy Aristotle spoke of when he said that "Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies"--they must be gay. The implication is, obviously a straight man would never have deep feelings for another man! A straight man, we are encouraged to believe, can only love women and have shallow, insubstantial relationships with other men. I think we see courage in Adam and Kris, because they are willing to publicly love and care for each other in the context of true friendship. Neither seems to care what other people think of them. It's a great example, and I hope it makes it possible for more men in America to have deep and true friendships with other men and realize that this is a good and wonderful part of life. Maybe, on American Idol of all places, we are starting to see the revival of friendship between men, regardless of sexuality. This would be a great legacy for Kradam to leave behind. lol, sorry to have repeated myself...but I do think this is an important subject, so its worth further exploring... I am in my mid-20s, and I see in my father's generation such a lack of true and intimate friendship between men (I am generalizing here, obviously), which really can make life kind of lonely...even if you are happily married. People need more than just a spouse, friendship is still important! That's why I think it is fascinating that, in my generation, there is this "bromance" phenomenon...as if the culture is craving something more in male friendship. As I say...I think it's pretty cool! haha, thanks for everyone who has said they approve of my comments.

I was going to make a comment along those lines, but I think you said it better than I ever could have. :) I'm so happy you put this video up MJ! In the midst of all the bitter cup and cakes, it's wonderful to celebrate the joy that is Kradam. I'm now ignoring all the negative comments. It's so ridiculous. I'm not even going to go into the details of why because I much perfer to partake in the lovefest. I've watched the vid way too many times. I totally died of cuteness the first time despite having seen the screenshot at Rickey's and reading the warning in the vid. It was that they held onto each other after the hug like Adam was trying to keep sleep deprived Kris from falling over. SO CUTE!!! Mavid was pretty awesome last year, but they were a very different type of bromance. They were more silly, goofball manly man love (case in point: chest bumps), Kradam is fuzzier ... like puppies and rainbow love (i.e. Kris is the puppy and Adam is the rainbow, hahaha). Personally, I prefer Kradam, but that's just me. And - I can't believe I'm saying this - but I almost even prefer them over the Davids' (unnamed, less spoken of) bromance, and that's crazy because I adored them to pieces! Honestly, I've really hated this season, but after seeing this vid, I realized that Kris and Allison (my two faves) and Addison and Kradam really made this season for me, so I guess Adam made this season for me too! I'm not a fan of his voice, but I really love him as a person. Okay. I'm done gushing. Haha. *offers everyone a toothbrush* rbidol FTW!!!

One of the reasons why many straight men don't have affectionate, emotionally intimate relationships with other men is because our society now assumes that there is something "gay" about it. When men show love toward each other these days, there is an automatic assumption that there must be (if only subconsciously) some kind of homoerotic element. Because of this cultural assumption, many straight men shy away from emotionally significant friendships, often settling for something shallow and insubstantial. If you look up "romantic friendship" on wikipedia, it explains how, 100 years ago, friendships between men often exhibited a kind of non-sexual intimacy that is extremely rare today. Back then it was not at all unusual for straight men to have a kind of emotional--and even non-sexual physical--connection with other men. I think it is great that Kris (as a heterosexual man) and Adam (whatever his situation is) are able to show physical affection, and emotional intimacy, with each other. It is an example of true masculine friendship. Kris does not have to leave his wife or have any kind of sexual relationship with Adam to love him and have a kind of intimacy with him. Kris and Adam are an example for our culture of what friendship can look like...it does not have to be all about a shallow machismo, nor does there have to be a sexual component to have a intimate union. This is a healthy development for masculine friendship in America. (I also think of that scene at the end of Superbad (spoiler) where the two guys are able to say they love each other and enjoy a real intimacy without it being sexual. It's great to see such friendships encouraged in popular culture.)
