Best Answer

A winner is the person or team that comes in first place in a competition, while a runner-up is the person or team that comes in second place. The winner is typically the one who achieves the ultimate goal of the competition, while the runner-up falls just short of that goal.

Who did better in American Idol in 2009- Adam or Chris?

Actually, the Runner Up did better. The runner up was an excellent, all-around singer that could sing anything thrown at him, while the winner could only sing a few things well. It was a matter of prejudice against the runner up, which is why he was a runner up and not the winner, even though the runner up (Adam Lambert) was better than the winner. The runner up definitely did better this year- Adam Lambert was clearly the best.
