Read about it here.
In short, Adam Lambert (I might call him Screechy McScreech on a bad day), the flamboyant Queen-fronting Kiss-singing-off-the-stage (not that that's difficult) colouratura trilling American Idol superstar lost to Kris Allen, a sweet guy from Arkansas who couldn't hold a tune. How could this happen? Now we know.
According to the New York Times link above,
AT&T, one of the biggest corporate sponsors of “American Idol,” might have influenced the outcome of this year’s competition by providing phones for free text-messaging services and lessons in casting blocks of votes at parties organized by fans of Kris Allen, the Arkansas singer who was the winner of the show last week.
Why would they want Kris Allen to win? Thinking...Thinking....

I'm surprised that People actually watch America's worst talent showcase. To be selected, it should be necessary to sing on key and the few times I've watched, that was a rare commodity.
That's what so surprising about Adam Lambert. He, as far as I can tell, has perfect pitch. I heard Kris Allen sing for but a brief moment, and he couldn't stay on key.
