The New York Times reports that AT&T threw its support behind Kris Allen as the next American Idol. During the final performances, AT&T actually provided phones for Kris Allen fans to cast blocks of votes. Adam Lambert? No such phone love.
AT&T reps provided the free services at two parties in Arkansas after the final performance episode. During the event, the representatives provided instructions on how to send “power texts.”
Power texts send 10 or more text messages at one time. According to sources, these power texts have an “exponentially greater effect on voting than do single text messages or calls to the show’s toll-free phone lines.”
Wednesday, Fox Broadcasting issued this statement: “Fox and the producers of ‘American Idol’ are absolutely certain that the results of this competition are fair, accurate and verified. Kris Allen is, without a doubt, the American Idol. We have an independent third-party monitoring procedure in place to ensure the integrity of the voting process. In no way did any individuals unfairly influence the outcome of the competition.”
AT&T issued a statement of their own saying: “…countless parties were held,” and that “it’s quite a leap to suggest that a few individuals could have impacted the final results.”
*** In other American Idol news, Clay Aiken has issued an apology for his statements about Adam Lambert. I always think it says a lot about someone when they’re big enough (and cool enough) to say, “I’m sorry.”
Well done Clay. We Adam fans are a forgiving bunch. Besides, someone else has our complete ATTention now!
