#3067300 Adam Lambert, the runner-up of American Idol Season 8, makes an appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly in New York City on May 27, 2009. Lambert loss to new Idol Kris Allen, was a surprise to many, as Lambert was seemingly a fan favorite. “The New York Times is now reporting that Allen may have benefited from AT&T ‘power text’ parties where Allen fans in Arkansas were instructed how to send 10 or more votes with the sending of one text message. AT&T, one of American Idol’s largest corporate sponsors, gave out free phones at the party, according to the NY Times. AT&T provides the only mobile service where voters can vote via text message. The Times reports that there appeared to be no similar events for Lambert!”
