<\/p>\n

‘American Idol’ fans may soon be able to vote for their favourite contestants via Facebook.<\/p>\n

If the new method gets the green light, viewers of the reality talent show – which features pop star Jennifer Lopez as a judge – will be able to log on to the social networking website to view a dedicated page on which they can cast their votes.<\/p>\n

Each fan will be able to use the facility 50 times during a telecast’s voting period – but will still also have the option of making their choice via text message or toll-free phone calls as well.<\/p>\n

Although the show’s network Fox hasn’t yet commented, it is reported that executive producer Nigel Lythgoe leaked plans to introduce a form of online voting this week, while creator Simon Fuller has been pushing for online voting as part an overhaul for season ten.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week it was also rumoured that Simon Cowell is embracing Facebook voting for the US version of ‘The X Factor’.<\/p>\n
