Poor Colton Dixon. The American Idol finalist left his laptop and phone lying around during a performance. A prankster (whose identity is not yet known) logged into Dixon’s Twitter account and posted silly messages as if he were Dixon:
Just finished "moves like jagger" hope you guys liked it. Gotta poop now #showconfessions

What do you guys think about getting my hair the same color as hayley from paramore in the decode music video? #hairconfessions

Dixon wasn’t pleased, but most of his fans didn’t seem too bothered:
It's kind of fun to see @coltondixon 's twitter being hacked! hahahaha
