AT&T American Idol Voting Controversy Burns Lambert Fans

Reality bites Adam Lambert?

There’s nothing real about reality television. Most of us know this already, but that doesn’t tend to detract from our enjoyment of the completely fabricated situation. If you buy into the farce and fantasy of television and seek to shut down your brain for a while, you more than likely have at least sampled reality TV. Imagine yourself as a contestant, competing for a big pot of money and fame. It’s easy… sitting back, wanting that money.

You probably want no fax payday loans with no credit check too, don’t you? That’s an easier order to fill, as you don’t have to wait in line for an entire day before having to do your song and dance for judges. Yes, installment loans for bad credit are easier to come by.

But what about Adam Lambert? Many sources predicted he’d win American Idol, but challenger Kris Allen walked away with the coveted crown. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s an American Idol voting controversy to go along with this little mess.

Was American Idol voting fixed?

Going in, I must be honest. I accept that everything on television is rigged, including the news. Everything is an edited, subjective version of reality. This Idol controversy only serves to prove the point to me.

Scott Sabatini blogs for the Examiner that the latest American Idol election is currently under scrutiny. An Arkansas news station reported that the population of Kris Allen’s home state voted for their Idol 38 million times, pushing him past the heavily favored Lambert. Not long after, the story was retracted. Further, AT&T (an official American Idol sponsor) admitted that some of their employees may have taught fans at parties in Arkansas on election night how to blast 3,000 to 5,000 votes apiece via a special AT&T power texting technique. It is also clear that no such information was released to Adam Lambert backers in California that night. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "AT&T American Idol Voting Controversy Burns Lambert Fans"
