If Justin Guarini gets an album, everyone gets an album.

Here is a breakdown of the six-figure single sales recorded in the first week by past Idol finalists: 1. Clay Aiken, 'This Is The Night' / 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,' 393,000 2. Ruben Studdard, 'Flying Without Wings' / 'Superstar,' 286,000 3. Kelly Clarkson (Idol 1 winner), 'A Moment...

I heard on the news that for the next season, no contestants under 18 years old will be accepted. So it should solve this issue for most.

Have you seen "Cheaper By the Dozen"? :)

His ego was huge on the show. After all the praise went to his head for a few weeks, he started mouthing off to Simon that he didn't know anything. I expect much the same scenario for the equally ego-centric Fantasia. Just listening to her in interviews since she won makes me :rolleyes. I...

..uh...no, she hasn't. Of her five albums, the only one certified "multi" is "Under Construction" (x2). So the Idols don't have to kill to have her record sales, since they've probably beat her for the most part (longevity remains to be seen). Missy would be a good match. Her screechy...

According to RIAA, her debut album was triple platinum, but she has no certifications of any kind since then.

I don't foresee any of this year's finalists coming anywhere close to the success of past seasons' stars. I just don't get the same buzz as was around for Kelly or Clay.

Yep, she even co-wrote the song that the eventual winner of this season will record as a single.

Not necessarily. Contractually, they may have to do an album with the winner, but if they don't think she truly has marketable talent and qualitities they can just let it wither and die, then drop her.

Yep, with the calling pattern the way it is, this is turning out to be "Hawaiian Idol," not "American Idol."

Sounds more like Fantasia to me...or Justin Guarini (and we all know how he ended up).

Perhaps they shouldn't. America's proven more than once it can't be trusted to vote correctly. What's the point of having any judges if they have no power? Just let the people sing and open the phone lines. No more Simon insults. No more "dawg, dawg, yo, yo, yo." No more of whatever it is...

Realizing that most of America is populated by idiots, they should give the judges veto power over the results. America voted to send off LaToya? Idiots. Jasmine, hit the road! LaToya should have no problems getting a record contract, but we said the same about Tamyra Gray and we're still...

Diana DeGarmo "No More Tears" "This Is It" Fantasia Barrino "Knock On Wood" "Holding Out For A Hero" Jasmine Trias "It's Raining Men" "Everlasting Love" La Toya London "Don't Leave Me This Way" "Love You Inside and Out" And I agree that Fantasia's "Holding Out For A Hero"...

Why on earth are you voting for everyone? Isn't the point to vote for your favorite one? Once again I forgot to set the VCR :angry:

If they didn't mix up the genres, all you'd see is a bunch of sappy adult contemporary ballads week after week.

I think those that realize their limitations sing much better when the stress and weight of the competition is lifted after they're dismissed. I was thinking to myself last week, "It would be funny if Red blew the roof off the house now that the pressure is off." Alas, it was just more of the...

To date, Macy Gray has been a one-hit wonder despite being two albums beyond that one hit. I'm not sure one would want to base the hopes of a career on MG-type "marketability."

He certainly doesn't show it.

So what kind of credibility does the voting process have now when in the space of a week the bottom three is now essentially the top three, given that everyone performed at about the same level they have for the past several weeks? I think the producers are pulling the strings just to increase...

I thought it was "latin" night, not "Gloria Estefan" night? Could someone list the songs each person performed for the benefit of those of us who couldn't watch? I didn't see the performances, but I'm still interested in which songs each chose. (EDIT: Never mind...I see they're listed on the...

Elton seems to forget that a black man WON the show last time 'round. Love ya' Elton, but another :rolleyes:for you.

I think it's more than enough to establish a statistically relevant sample. Political polls base their predictions on just a few hundred queries. At lest this is in the multi-millions.

Perhaps there is a large group of people who see how uncomfortable he his and have decided to keep voting for him to see (1) how far they can push him in the competition, and (2) if he has a breakdown of some sort. I could buy into that much easier than him having a large fanbase that...

Fallout from this week's AI voting at MSNBC

It's another of those words people just like to throw around, like "pitchy": croon, v. 1. To hum or sing softly. 2. A low singing; a plain, artless melody. ---- Yep, "plain" and "artless" just about sums up Red.

What genre? He's just some poseur karaoke singer with the personality of a limp noodle. He doesn't deserve props for anything. I'm totally mystified how he's lasted the past three weeks. There's nothing appealing about him at all.

I need no more proof. I just look at who's riding high on the charts and infecting the airwaves week after week. That's plenty of proof for me.

So, judging from the last 10 seconds of the credits I caught, I gather Red is still alive? It looked like Jennifer Hudson was going bye-bye?
