Did I hear someone say AT&T might owe Adam Lambert $1mil. for their role in cheating and their misdeed likely causing Adam to be 2nd instead of 1st.

I guess people don't take it seriously. I think they should allow one vote per phone. Makes sense, seems fair.
Adam had it wrapped up from the get go.
The other guy that won, what was his name????

Maybe the Prop 8 Queerbate gang can sue AT&T for discrimination against gays. I'm sure they can find some way to twist it around.

In all reality...who gives a shi7. How about they have people send 3x5 post cards with their favorite's name. Or, even better...cancel the GD show. It would mean a huge revenue drain on the cell companies because of lost revenue due to the 14 million lost text messages each week at .20 per. And, of course, theres the 14 million Shi7-for-brains cement heads who then would have to find something else to do with their time. Get a life...

Shame on you AT&T,and you sent me a letter wanting me to do business with you. I don't think so! Also your excuse sounds like something that a politician would say. Why don't you admit how sorry you really are and yes those votes made a difference--YOU CHEAT.

some things never change......... is this the 50's all over again????. some of the game-shows were "fixed" to where the winner was pre-determined and the other contestants were supposed to lose. this is not progression, it's regression. that blows " the old college try" and " he did his best" out of the water!!!!!!!!!!

So what. People that didn't want to vote for him probably didn't anyway. Those that didn't know anything about it probably did.

That sounds like the last election (and most for that case).

So a karaoke contest has been proven to be rigged/fixed/just plain fake. There's a damn shock.

Get this pile of crap off the air for good. Make that prick Simon and his 1970's chest hair go away for good and MAYBE we can stop seeing these stupid stories???

There are more detailed articles out there about this issue. AT&T has stated that the number of phones given out were in small numbers. The third party company that tallied the votes for the AI finale also has come out to state that Allen did win by a large margin of votes, therefore the amount of phones given out wouldn't have offset the total count either win- Kris Allen still would have won.

Adam is better off not winning. He won't be tied down to the contract the way Kris will be. Adam will do better than Kris financially in the long run. Watch and see. Of course I won't be buying any of their cd's, I haven't bought a new CD in more than a decade.
