American Idol Voting Controversy
The New York Times has revived the flame of American Idol voting controversy, as now a report from them says that AT&T may have played a role in the final decision of the show - that means in Kris Allen’s victory.
It is known that AT&T (one of the sponsors of the show) gave phones for free text-messaging in Arkansas, at parties interested that Kris Allen wins. This was done just after the final performance show on Tuesday ended, giving Kris an advantage they didn’t give to Adam Lambert.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, reports even more and talks about AT&T employees actually taking the time to teach Kris fans how to vote! 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.”
Fox on the other hand has not given details on votes that may clarify this American Idol voting controversy.
