The American Idol cheating scandal story is reaching a boil! Did Kris Allen win because of ATGT cheating and rigging the results of American Idol? Will the American Idol cheating scandal taint Kris Allen’s winning Amewrican Idol? Here’s what went down:
According to The New York Times, recently crowned champ Kris Allen may have had some help winning American Idol courtesy of corporate sponsor AT&T.
AT&T provided free phones for text messaging at two finale parties supporting Kris Allen in Arkansas. The phone company even showed guests how to “power text,” which allows one to text 10 votes at the touch of a button and violates the show’s rules.
So there you go, right there, it looks like that would invalidate the American Idol voting, if its true.
