But... does it really matter if the vote results are tampered or not? Does it really matter who wins? If someone ends up in the final 10, that gives them an opportunity to be discovered. So as long as the person has the overall package, a title would not matter. Haven't we seen this in the past? The music industry is unpredictable. It could make or break an artist. I wonder when people would stop whining if their idol didn't snag the title. I know this comment is coming in almost a year late. But… does it really matter if the vote results are tampered or not?

Calling on a T-mobile phone and a land line phone, I got in (during 4 hours of steady dialing) 1 call in 10 dials on the T-mobile phone and 1 in 5 dials on the land line. I read one Arkansas post that claims that Arkansas college students managed to hack in and jam Adam's lines. I read one post that it was 3 football stadiums full of people that were receiving instructions from AT&T and another post that said that local and state Arkansas officials (does that include Huckabee?)cooperated in a state effort to elect Allen. Yes, I think Kris Allen is good,but I also know of no one who actually voted more than a few votes for him. In addition to that was a posted rumor about a gambling bet that switched from Adam to Kris Allen and someone in the Idol camp taking a bribe. No, I didn't keep up with the links to these postings, but a search might turn them up. With there being triple amount of web interest in Lambert, I still think something is not on the up and up and I will always think so.

Can't we just accept the winner and move on? So Kris had a little help from some friends that just happened to work at ATT. So? This whole idolgate scandal is being blown wayyyyy out of proportion.

Adam should have won this hands down and anyone with a brain stem knows this. Idolgate is totally real and if this doesn't sink the show with a wave of incredulity like they've never seen, I'll be shocked to pieces. Great Kris-the-donkey picture.. hehe :-) This was TOTAL BS!
