It’s nice to see Kris Allen back performing with the American Idol tour after cancelling Conan O’Brien the other night due to a family death.

These pics were taken from the Staples Centre performance last night.  The other night at the Hp Pavilion in San Jose, California some anti-gay protestors were picketing because of Adam Lambert, but fellow American Idol, Michael Sarver Twittered:

“Funny how people think it’s a good idea to mess with a big Texan and his AI family. Adam is just fine, shakes it off and so should we.

“We are together in this thing. You mess with one you mess with all ten. We are strong and we are 1. For those outside protesting I say do not judge less ye be judged yourself. Guys don’t mind these people, we are a strong family.”

American Idol winner Kris Allen and runner up Adam Lambert are in New York to appear on the Today Show’s summer concert series.

There has been a lot of talk about the fairness of the outcome in the voting, specifically with regards to AT&T reps attending a couple of Kris Allen supporter parties where they provided cell phones to the party goers and were shown how to power text.  FOX has issued a statement with regards to the issue:

“Fox and the producers of ‘American Idol’ are absolutely certain that the results of this competition are fair, accurate and verified. Kris Allen is, without a doubt, the American Idol. We have an independent third-party monitoring procedure in place to ensure the integrity of the voting process. In no way did any individuals unfairly influence the outcome of the competition.”

AT&T also issued another statement:

“Going forward, we will make sure our employees understand our sponsorship celebrates the competition, not individual contestants. That said, it’s quite a leap to suggest that a few individuals could have impacted the final results.”

Do you think the results are fair?
