Adam Lambert Denies Voting Scandal on American Idol

Adam Lambert Denies Voting Scandal on American Idol

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert appeared together on The Today Show (video here).

The pair were interviewed by Natalie Morales. Both singers claimed to know nothing about the huge phone line voting scandal essentially saying the idea of it is crazy and they think that the voting was fair.

AT&T released a statement on Wednesday saying:

“Last week, countless parties were held in homes, bars, and other public places across America to watch the American Idol finale. In Arkansas, a few local AT&T employees were invited to attend two local watch parties organized by the community. Caught up in the enthusiasm of rooting for their hometown contestant, they brought a small number of demo phones with them and provided texting tutorials to those who were interested.”

“Going forward, we will make sure our employees understand our sponsorship celebrates the competition, not individual contestants. That said, it’s quite a leap to suggest that a few individuals could have impacted the final results.”

“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.”
