I think what's pissing a lot of people off, isn't the fact that AT&T cheated, but rather how they cheated!

It was a total conflict for AT&T to go to only one of the contestants hometown and attend their Idol party. Yeah that looks so unbiased! I personally, I don't like AI. I'll watch mainly the first few shows where a bunch of fools make themselves look even more foolish thinking they can sing! LOL! Like that wacky chick who tried again this season, you know the one that loves Simon to death! Once those episodes are over I never watch only the final because of my wife.

But if there's one thing I've learned from AI is that most of the winners, in most cases never seem to take off. Rather the runner up or third place contestant ends up getting their carriers boosted.

Basically, people have to stop making it an “Adam” issue, and start making it a consumer rip off issue. The vote was essentially rigged … I mean that’s obvious. AT&T admitted to improprieties in the voting process in Arkansas. This means that there was fraudulent behavior on their part and possibly AI, and consumers may be entitled to get their money back for being falsely enticed into voting (in order for AI and AT&T to suck money out of them of course) with the promise that their votes would count during the AI season and especially the finale. Some people spend a lot of money voting, and for what? IT’S RIGGED FOLKS.

Fraud By Wire is a federal crime, therefore applicable in every state simply by filing a complaint. You can file a complaint on line with the FCC or by submitting a complaint in writing by US Mail to:
Federal Communications Commission
Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division 445 12th Street, SW

Complain, as a matter of principle. Why should AI and AT&T not be held accountable?

if there is american idol 20 years ago, adam could've won.. really.. kris would've been eliminated weeks ago... but it's already 2009, and his kind of music was way too 70s. i'm not a fan of the 70s.. PLEASE... give adam a time machine, and i'm sure he'll have the popularity he deserves... =p

There was no way that Kris could of won b/c Adam is def. the best and although he didn't win b/c IT WAS RIGGED, he will go farther than Kris.

You guys can check online that AT&T provided 50+30 "demo" phones at two supporting sites.
if one touch gets 10 votes, 100 touch in a minute(just touch then message sent, doesn't it? can be faster than this) , then 60,000 votes in an hour, and 240,000 votes in four hours( let alone they got other area code cells to have 2 more hours to vote)
Do you know how many votes for those "few phones" came out?

19,200,000. Yeah, 19 million!!!!

The screamqueen blew it. It was clear that Kris' last performances were far more controlled than Adam's. Adam could only seem to scream the last half to third of each song which took away from each song. He showed some control but would always blow it with an over-the-top scream at the end, thus showing he wasn't due the title and I think America showed that by not voting for him.

Kris showed far more vocal talent, although I do think he needs to step up the energy. Adam was good but really was only a child screaming, could tell he was an annoying child to be around. I liked both but feel the true talent did indeed win.

Did they announce the number of votes for each? That difference should quelsh any discrepancy with the 10x power votes depending on how many people were at that viewing party.

Deal with it crybabies/screamheads.

First, let me say I have nothing against Kris, however, he is just an average singer. When Smokey Robinson gave Adam Lambert a standing ovation this year for performing "Tracks of My Tears", and Simon Cowell also gave Adam Lambert a standing ovation, that really says something about the talent of the performer. I was dumbfounded when I heard Kris' name announced as the winner, and I firmly believe that AT&T played a role in helping people cheat to win with massive blocks of texts votes. I also don't believe the Fox and American Idol statement that the voting was fair - BS! Of course they are going to say this, or else they will look either guilty oif allowing voter fraud or negligent of tracking votes - how else can a show go from 35 million votes last year to 100 million this year without cheating? I'm done with American Idol - and AT&T both!

I belive they where both really good!! But kris could sit down with a guitar and sing his heart out , Adam had to have so much back ground. I belive no matter who won they will all get there chance. Adam will get more freadom to show his style. I think it is crap that everyone is taking this win away from kris he can't even enjoy it. He didn't make those votes and if he wasn't good he wouldn't have made it that fare. Kris and Adam has a better attitude then anyone elese. I THINK THE BOTH WON!!!!! Kris is truley a winner

If you want to complain about power voting go back to season 2 when Ruebens family supposedly voted over 700 times. We all knew that Clay should have won and it has been proven by the successes he has had as opposed to Reuben.

As for Adam, yes he was good but a large number of people were turned off by his flambouyancy. American Idol should be for new talent, not successful entertainers.

I'm the only one who doesn't care? I mean, come on.

It's American Idol... not the Presidential election.

The only way to rectify this is to declare it a tie and give both parties equal sharing of the title, then fire the culprits. I thought that there was a rat in the wood pile when 4 times the population of Arkansas voted. I thought Kris was a Christian but what a thing to teach your Christian children on how to cheat to win. I saw Kris in a interview and thought he looked awfully subdued. This is why-he knows Adam was the true winner and was embarressed to death.Adam was by far the better of the 2. I will never watch American Idol again unless this is corrected. Shame on American Idol to play with people's lives like this. The credibility of the show is on the line. I never got to vote either.

Don't get me wrong, Kris deserves the lime light. He was in Adam's shadow and never got credit for his ability. That being said....It is completely impossible to believe he won. He's cute, yes. He's humble and likable, of course, but i'm not buying it and either are any other Adam fans. I'm no looking for excuses because he lost, because honestly it's better he has more offers than a little idol contract. Adam single-handedly brought back the viewers on idol. I called various times but it was busy all 4 hours. How could i get through twice and Adam not win. Thanks AT&T, now Kris feels undeserving, and Adam was robbed.

i hate at&t and kris allen. adamso should've won and this is now even mor eobvious then before.

Come on people. Do you think we are stupid. The underdog won and he is no way as talented as Adam Lambert. Adam was a shoe in. So what could have happened? I know the voting was fixed and should be investigated big time.

This is a disgrace to the American Public.

I have an ATT account and tried to call and Vote for Adam Lambert, the phone was always busy. I called from my ATT cell phone.

I had to text one vote at a time to get any votes in at all. I think Kris Allen is a nice guy, but I feel that the true winner didn't win.
