American Idol

KRIS ALLEN (THE WINNER)

ADAM LAMBERT (RUNNER UP)

Honestly i didn't watch or care anything to do about American Idol this season because i was still at my university when it started but it sure caught my attention when there have been rumors spreading like wildfire that Adam Lambert should have won AI 2009 and not Kris Allen..the rumors was so big till they asked FOX and American Idol to reveal the voting count result,never before this have happen in American Idol.So I decided to watch some of their performance, first watched Adam Lampert singing Michael Jackson song "black and white" then "mad world" and "no boundaries"and i felt.."Wow Adam Lampert performance is great " Well from my point of view, i should say yeah adam lambert should have won. But then I started watching Kris Allen performance, his performance was great also but sometimes when he performs with his guitar or piano this shows that he has a musician skill which I thought made him won the crowd heart. Nevertheless , Adam Lambert seem to have the WOW factor if you ask me. But then i ask myself why didn't he won..started to search for the reason and there is a rumor saying that he is gay..U can even find pictures of him kissing a guy. Just google his name..but for me that was not a reason for his defeat..common now, this is a singing contest not a sexuality contest. I think the main cause of his defeat is some of his own stupid dumb fuck fans. Yeah. Why do u ask me? Because when I was wacthing some of his recorded performance on American Idol website , there were also many comments on the videos. So I can't help myself but to scroll down on each comment and shockingly I found that most of his fans there that comment said that Adam Lampert is the best..you will always rock my heart..Kris Allen sucks..You will always be my AI eventhough I didn't vote you..WTF?!! So many of you stupid American expect him to win the American but did not vote. No wonder many people said that American's are stupid. There u have it. I could have understand if u stayed in Malaysia and u are Adam Lampert biggest fan but didn't vote..that because u can't..but if you lived in the U.S and said that Adam Lampert should have won but u didn't vote..u should SHUT THE FUCK UP! or just jump off a bridge and kill yourself because u are not worthy to call yourself an Adam Lampert fan and busying commenting and talking bad things about Kris Allen for winning American Idol.Thanks to fan like YOU Adam Lampert didn't won and u are the one that should be blamed and not Kris Allen..

AT&T May Have Swayed ‘Idol’ Results

By EDWARD WYATT

LOS ANGELES — AT&T, one of the biggest corporate sponsors of “American Idol,” might have influenced the outcome of this year’s competition by providing phones for free text-messaging services and lessons in casting blocks of votes at parties organized by fans of Kris Allen, the Arkansas singer who was the winner of the show last week.

Representatives of AT&T, whose mobile phone network is the only one that can be used to cast “American Idol” votes via text message, provided the free text-messaging services at two parties in Arkansas after the final performance episode of “American Idol” last week, according to the company and people at the events.

There appear to have been no similar efforts to provide free texting services to supporters of Adam Lambert, who finished as the runner-up to Mr. Allen.

Since then, angry supporters of Mr. Lambert have flooded online chat boards with messages claiming irregularities in the competition’s voting.

Officials of Fox Broadcasting declined to discuss the situation. In a statement issued Tuesday, a spokesman for AT&T said, “In Arkansas, we were invited to attend the local watch parties organized by the community. A few local employees brought a small number of demo phones with them and provided texting tutorials to those who were interested.”

Details of the voting support were first reported last week in an article in The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Representatives of AT&T helped fans of Mr. Allen at the two Arkansas events by providing instructions on how to send 10 or more text messages at the press of a single button, known as power texts. Power texts have an exponentially greater effect on voting than do single text messages or calls to the show’s toll-free phone lines. The efforts appear to run afoul of “American Idol” voting rules in two ways. The show broadcasts an on-screen statement at the end of each episode warning that blocks of votes cast using “technical enhancements” that unfairly influence the outcome of voting can be thrown out.

And the show regularly states that text voting is open only to AT&T subscribers and is subject to normal rates.
