<p>Uh oh.  After favorite Adam Lambert lost out to Kris Allen on the finale of &#8220;American Idol&#8221;, allegations are now flying that AT&amp;T may have helped Kris win.  Local AT&amp;T reps from Kris&#8217; home state of Arkansas are said to have helped his fans each cast 10 or more text message votes at one time through &#8220;power texts.&#8221;</p>
<p>These votes were made over demonstration phones brought by AT&amp;T reps to two local Kris Allen viewing parties in Arkansas on the night of the final performances.</p>
<p>AT&amp;T is also a major sponsor of American Idol.  Neither they, Kris Allen, or Adam Lambert have commented on the situation. </p>
