DialIdol Site Says American Idol Too Close to Call

DialIdol, the Web site/application that measures busy signal rates on American Idol voting phone lines, is really going out on a limb in predicting tonight’s winner: “too close to call.”

Sure, give credit where credit is due. The site has picked previous winners from the finale correctly. But this just goes to show a statistical theory we posted about the results being close – no matter how many people support one contestant or another – is likely valid. Surely much less than half who watched Tuesday night’s final performance show could’ve thought Kris Allen was better than Adam Lambert, right?
