Kris Allen still hasn't learned that to hide the fact that he's pocket sized in real life, he needs to hang out with shorter people so he looks normal height. Instead, he's posing with basketball players and looking even more midget like. May we suggest Kris's next promo opportunity is with some horse jockeys or singing a concert for some 8 year olds (like David Archuleta and friends)?
It's still always fun to listen to our live reaction to Kris Allen winning, over and over. Truly a classic VFTW victory.
People are abuzz about articles such as the one in the New York Times that claim that AT&T swayed Kris Allen's vote totals to help him win. AT&T provided phones at Kris Allen voting parties in Arkansas and showed the participants how to "power text" by sending 10 or more text votes at the push of a single button. If that's the case, thank you AT&T. We didn't know you were Worsters. VFTW Victory!
The Fox outlet that originally said that Kris Allen received 38 million votes from Arkansas alone has retracted that statement. It seemed implausible that 38% of the votes cast would come from one state, and it looks like it was completely false. Oh well, it would have been funny if it were true. And now it just goes to show that VFTW, and not Arkansas, made Kris Allen win of course. There is no other explanation.
Based on incorrect information provided to one of our reporters, FOX16 News reported Wednesday night, an extraordinary number of votes came in from Arkansas to American Idol.
AT&T spokesman Ted Wagnon told us today, "AT&T does not divulge or confirm how many votes were cast in any state."
We apologize for the error.

Too funny. Everyone seems shocked and annoyed. VFTW Victory!
Well, we definitely votes for the right guy. Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest had some harsh things to say about Kris Allen on Ryan's morning radio show on KIIS-FM. Simon mention that although Kris won by receiving the most votes, he was not the best singer. Seacrest then compared Kris to Ruben Studdard and Taylor Hicks, 2 past winners whose careers fizzled. Ouch! Looks like Kris winning is still a pretty big VFTW Victory!
Kara DioGuardi's masterpiece of crap "No Boundaries" was such an embarrassment that it was funny to see Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have to pretend to like the song during this year's Idol finale. Well people must have booed the song on tour, because now it's been completely removed according to the New York Post. Now Kris Allen is singing the Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" (above) instead. At least Kara's lame song will be taken out back and finally put out of its misery. RIP "No Boundaries", the worst Idol winner's song ever.
