So, as I'm sure you've all heard by now, some AT&T employees (major sponsor of American Idol) gave some phones to people who were voting for Kris Allen (the winner), and that's not right... blah blah blah.
Anyway, here's Fox's response:
“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 insure the integrity of
the voting process. In no way did any individuals unfairly influence
the outcome of the competition.”
It was also mentioned that the race between Kris Allen and Adam Lambert wasn't even close. So whatever. I don't particularly think of this as a big deal... honestly, I can't even believe are still watching that show. But in case it matters to you, there you have it. Fox's response. Personally, I'm just glad the show is over!
