There is an ongoing petition posted on change.org asking Fox.com, 19Entertainment, and Fremantle Media to bring Alex Lambert back to the American Idol Season 9 show. Alex Lambert was one of the four who was eliminated last week. you can watch his performance here.
Read the Alex Lambert Petition, posted on change.org:
To the attention of Fox.com, 19Entertainment, and Fremantle Media:
Avid viewers of American Idol were in complete shock to see Alex Lambert voted off tonight. His voice is most importantly, different, and his simple raw talent was something that many chosen idol contestants… lack. America ABSOLUTELY voted wrong in this, and many, many loyal viewers have no desire to continue watching American Idol without seeing how far Alex Lambert could have, and should have gone. the signatures on this petition are not expected to be taken lightly, but instead, as a serious cause of action in bringing Alex Lambert back onto American Idol before the season ends.
In less than 2 hours of creating this, there were already over 400 signatures.
Alex Lambert was a trending topic on Twitter HOURS after the show ended, and STILL IS.
It’s clearly evident that he has a special gift that people want to continue to hear.
I’ve never seen such an uproar for ANY contestant to be put back in BEFORE even making it to top 12, until Alex. quite frankly, this season of Idol has been a massive disappointment so far, and I’m sure that comes as no surprise to everyone running Idol.
Then, the one person who people tuned in to actually see, is now gone. after seeing the complete disgust in pure talent having to leave the show, loyal fans and viewers of AI have officially decided to turn off the tv when it comes to further watching.
There were 13 finalists last year in order to keep Anoop in.
Sincerely,
Jessica Bongiorno
INCLUDING the undersigned.
I wish Alex Lambert would be brought back. I am not watching the show anymore unless he is brought back. I tried calling in my vote, but all I got was a busy signal for 2 straight hours. Since the show doesn’t allow text messages from Verizon as votes (it only allows AT&T texts), I would switch cellular providers in order to support Alex Lambert. Like I said before, if he does not come back, then I am not watching AI anymore.
Btw, that picture that is featured here is of Adam Lambert, not Alex Lambert (Alex is the one everyone is up in arms about). So, that’s the wrong person’s pic by this article.
totally agree with melissa. is this done purposely? making the voting line busy? are you kidding me, media? such a douche.
