American Idol is once again the #1 TV show in the US and the competition is down to the final two. Glambert fans created Operation And Justice For All while the Kris Allen Nation has Operation Ding Dong to garner more votes for their contestant. These digital campaigns explain how to vote using Gizmo5 software or GizmoCall (browser based VOIP software) by placing calls to the 800 number for each contestant.
By tallying votes submitted to the 800 numbers for each contestant we can use the Gizmo5 calling data to project who garnered more votes and will become the next American Idol. Here's the data:

Mac, Windows, and Linux users all slightly preferred Adam as their American Idol choice. In spite of the "American" in the name, the show garners considerable international interest with non-US votes out-numbering US originated votes 2-1. Examining only US cast votes shows a preference for Kris. So the data suggests that Kris wins American Idol and Adam wins Global Idol. Votes were registered from more than 45 non-US countries with Philippines, Singapore, UK, China and Finland and Canada as the most popular non-US countries.
