IRocked the Vote

"iRocked the Vote" (also known as "iVoted Too Much and "iRigged the Vote") is the twelfth episode of the second season of iCarly.

Plot
The iCarly crew loves the show America Sings, so they tell their viewers to vote for David Archuleta, who they want to win over his British competor, Wade Collins. Archuleta suprisingly wins, and everyone is amazed.

The next day, news reports talk about the win and speculate that iCarly may be the reason why he won. Carly, Freddie, and Spencer see an interview on TV with Wade Collins saying that he mother is gravely ill and he wanted to use the earnings from his win to help his mother get healed. They feel sorry for Wade and invite him on iCarly with the offer to make a music video for him. However, Wade is late and Carly and Sam let Gibby sing, thinking that Freddie was unable to reach him.

Wade finally comes, and it seems like he gets nothing for being a finalist. The crew volunteers to help make a music video for Wade (later known as "Cry Like a Lion"). After the show, Wade is actually is a brat, and he hires Gibby as his personal manager. The next day, he takes advantage of Carly and some girls in the music video, is mean to Gibby (who Wade calls Jibbly), and hates a dog Spencer finds. He has mean comments and storms off to get some "yagert".

The video is finally done, and Wade comes to collect it with his mother. The crew refuses to give Wade his video, so his mother sits on Carly, and Wade steals the CD. David Archuleta makes a guest appearance on iCarly, and iCarly shows a video of what Wade is really like. David can't sing because he has a sore throat, but Spencer plays out iCarly with the banjo.

Meanwhile, Spencer gets a letter from Video Village claiming he hasn't turned in a video he checked out 10 years ago. Sam helps him try to lie to the video store, but he just can't do it. In the end, it turns out that the owner just sends out letters to scare people.
