Controversies [edit]

The finale vote had been controversial due to the smallness of the margin. Ryan Seacrest besides added fuel by mistakenly announcing the divergence in vote count first every bit 13,000, then 1,335, but eventually revealed afterward to be around 130,000.^[25] At that place was much discussion in the communication industry nearly the phone organization being overloaded, and that more than 150 1000000 votes were dropped, making the voting results doubtable.^[26] In an interview prior to the start of the 5th season, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe revealed that Aiken had led the fan voting from the wild card week onward until the finale.^[27]

There was controversy when contestant Frenchie Davis was disqualified from the competition afterwards topless photos of her surfaced on the Net. Presently later, she landed a office in the Broadway musical Rent.^[28]

Corey Clark was also disqualified from the show considering, according to the Idol producers, Clark had a constabulary tape he had not disclosed to the show. However, in 2005, contestant Corey Clark alleged in an interview on ABC's Primetime Live and in a book, They Told Me to Tell the Truth, So... The Sex activity, Lies and Paulatics of One of America's Idols, that he and gauge Paula Abdul had an thing while he was on the show and that this contributed to his removal.^[29] Clark likewise alleged that Abdul gave him preferential handling on the show and tips on song pick. A subsequent investigation by an independent counsel hired by Fox "could not corroborate the evidence or allegations provided by Mr. Clark or any witnesses".^[30] Paula Abdul was therefore considered exonerated simply an "enhanced non-fraternization policy" was put in identify after the investigation.^[30]

Trenyce was also constitute to accept been arrested on felony theft accuse;^[31] however, Nigel Lythgoe considered her criminal offence to be minor and one which she has been honest almost, therefore "warranted no business organization regarding her participation in the prove."^[32]

During the Superlative x, a problem with the telephone system resulted in some votes not being registered for Julia DeMato; however, Fox insisted that the mistake would non accept made whatever difference in Julia DeMato existence voted off.^[32]

During the course of the contest, Studdard became known for wearing 205 Flava jerseys representing his expanse code; when asked about them early in the flavor, Studdard told Seacrest that he was "just representing 205". Presently afterwards the end of the contest, Studdard sued 205 Flava, Inc. for $2 1000000 dollars for using his image for promotional purposes. 205 Flava responded by alleging that Studdard had accustomed over $10,000 in return for wearing 205 shirts, and produced eight cashed checks to validate their merits. The allegations, if truthful, were a articulate violation of the American Idol rules.^[33] The lawsuit was settled out of court.^[34]

Some questions were raised about the participation of Joshua Gracin, who was and then in the Marine Corps, in American idol during the time of the Republic of iraq War.^[35] He after missed both the finale performance nighttime every bit well every bit the Idol tour that twelvemonth after being recalled to duty past the Marines.^[36]

Some speculation about Vanessa Olivarez' dismissal and treatment by American Idol surfaced in 2007.^[37] During the show, Olivarez took part in a scripted joke where, after Seacrest had asked Olivarez to read a cue carte du jour taking the viewers to a commercial, Olivarez would answer past saying, "Ryan, I'm a existent artist, not a performing monkey like you, and so why don't you lot read your own script?"^[38] Withal, viewers booed, and Olivarez was voted off afterwards, a consequence of what some thought to be negative public perception of her due to the joke. It was suggested that she was deliberately ousted because she had come out equally a lesbian to other contestants.^[39] She had too posed nude for an advertisement campaign for the animal rights group PETA after she was voted off.^[twoscore] Olivarez was the but finalist omitted from the Season ii CD, and she was not called for the bout later Joshua Gracin was recalled to the Marines.^[41]
