Either they changed after the fact, or the story was fabricated bs by a jilted employee looking to hurt her former employer.

I’ve often suspected AI was fixed, but I think it’s done in a more subtle way (for instance, trying to get Danny Gokey kicked off the show tonight by showing the worst part of his performance in the closing highlights last night…we’ll see how it pans out). Adam is the most likely winner as he’s been showcased all along as a star – right down to having 1000% better stage production and until last night always being the last to perform, and even last night being moved from last to first. To be honest, though, I wonder if any of them is good enough to interest me. I like some of Adam’s song choices and his arrangements are interesting, but ultimately not all that compelling. I’m not all that likely to buy his album – but then again, to date I haven’t bought anyone’s album from this show.
