American Idol finalists, Adam Lambert & Kris Allen

Latest talk on American idol winner, Kris Allen, was that his winning the title was intentional. According to New York Times, evidence showed AT&T as the reason behind Kris Allen’s victory. The night of the American Idol Finals, the mobile company was said to have provided phones to his fans to cast huge votes. These mobile phones have ‘power text’ features which could send a great deal of 10 text messages or more at one time. During the event, the AT&T representatives allegedly provided free service at two parties in Arkansas.

After this news went out about AT&Ts involvement, Fox Broadcasting issued a statement insisting that there were no discrepancies involved with the result during the American Idol finals and that it was accurate, fair and verified. They further claimed that Kris Allen was indeed the winner.

I don’t think that Fox would have admitted to any descrepancies with their voting system since this would only cast doubts to American Idol fans and since Kris Allen’s winning had already been rolled out to the public then it would have been difficult to retract his title.
