On May 20, 2009 Ryan Seacrest announced on American Idol that Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert. Around the world the same question was asked. How did this happen? Every indicator pointed to an Adam Lambert win. It started to make sense when the Arkansas Gazette and then the New York Times broke a small part of the story; Kris had help from the American Idol corporate sponsor and text vote counter AT&T and from more then 38 million votes cast in Arkansas. As quickly as this story erupted, it fizzled out with denials from AT&T, FOX and American Idol. All three claimed that the vote was fair, accurate and independently verified by Telescope Inc. Not one news outlet challenged the denial, even while many doubted the fairness of this victory.

Unencumbered by any corporate interests, independent investigator Kerry Kolsch took on the mystery that no other journalist would. She set out to find the truth. What she unraveled was a tale of corporate hubris that created a flawed voting system to maximize profit. Kris Allen did not beat Adam Lambert alone. It took the state of Arkansas and the unfair voting system created by AT&T to hijack the victory from Lambert.

This explosive book, based on thousands of hours of research follows events in Arkansas and trails through cyberspace that can quantify demographics state-by-state, month-by-month and city-by-city, and identify who the most popular contestant really was. Not only does irrefutable data show that Kris should not have won if the voting was fair and rules were not broken, but it refutes the reasons that were used to justify Kris’ win. It was not America’s homophobia. Kris did not get Danny’s votes. Kris Allen won because his Arkansas supporters gamed the system and cheated to win.

Evidence that at all times relevant Adam was more popular in 49 states and continues to hold that lead is found in many of the same sources. This book takes you state-by-state and city-by-city.

This book contains a detailed analysis of the voting system. It is fraught with inherent unfair methods and now with unlimited text voting plans it has become a voting contest not a singing contest.

This book contains an analysis of what American Idol describes as an “unfair advantage” through previous lawsuits and “cease and desist” letters. It compares what occurred in Arkansas with prior FremantleMedia activity.

This book contains an analysis of the statements made by AT&T, FOX and American Idol and show that AT&T did not deny the 38 million votes but merely lawyered up and said they would not confirm the disclosure because they do not release that type of information.
