Well, Adam fans had instructions on their websites about how to mass text vote. is that any fairer? So a company took this as a sales opportunity and took a few phones to a party hoping to sell plans to these fans. Hey, Ruben had a guy in Alabama who owned a phone bank dedicate his company to vote for Ruben. Crap happens, it does not invalidate the votes or reflect on the contestants.

I agree with DavidB. Obviously the AT&T reps are fans of Kris and were happy to give out the demo phones. Why weren’t demo phones given to Adam’s fans?

If the voting was absolutely true and correct, AT&T should release the number of votes cast for both Kris and Adam although that might not prove anything either.

Very sad.

Funny how ATT reps show up to give testing tutorials at Kris Allen fan parties, WITH demo phones each of course having its own phone number to count towards the voting. Sad.

It’s mainly the people who are pissed off that Kris won and not Adam.

why should people keep starting the rumor and stuff? If it’s really what happened, it’s still not Kris’ fault. So why is everyone digging it up? Does hat gonna change the result of American idol or it will only ruin Kris’ future?
