I had no idea. I've never watched AI. Although I have liked several of the artists coming out of there. I think Carrie Underwood is a little over-rated though. IMHO

Who knew Carrie Underwood was bringing in so much dough?! Not me!

2 / 5

5/5

carrie probably earned a lot of that selling shoes, lol. i got zero out of 5 though, so what do i know

Carrie sells shoes? I thought she just pushed vitamin water

Hartsfull - I'm so with you on Carrie being overrated. Kelly just fell off and I'm having a love/hate relationship with Jennifer (I think it's that fiancé of hers that give me a bad vibe)

Jennifer??? Ok now you have to tell me first who Jennifer is. Kelly?? Pickler or Clarkson? I don't watch this show so it's hard for me to keep track of what's goin on there. In fact the only ones of the list of people above that I knew came from AI (only from reading other stuff or people talking about them) is Daughtry, Clarkson and oh duh Jennifer Hudson! That's who you mean! I got it now!

Oh I lover her. Who's her fiance?

I'm a devout Christian and mother of two music-loving boys, and I must ask: What is wrong with America? America's vote for Kris Allen, or America's vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a contemptuous hate vote against various sectors of society that Adam Lambert appears to stand for. In the manipulations, people lost respect of the fact that American Idol is a singing talent competition that’s open to all, and voters forgot that it is not a popularity contest for class of persons -- neither a political race to election nor a religious warfare arena. In Season 8, Kris demonstrated that he is a talented musician and progressively proved that he is an outstanding vocalist; but Adam Lambert consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative artist and the best singer, gifted with a powerful voice. ADAM LAMBERT DESERVED TO WIN. Even Kris knows this within his Christian heart, so much so that when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved title, he became perplexed and sincerely asserted in open public that "Adam deserves this. I’m sorry..." – instinctively repudiating the unbelievable subsuming vote results in righteous adherence to the glaring truth. You could actually count so many seconds before the visibly bewildered Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place his arm around his room mate’s shoulder in a gesture of encouragement. ADAM LAMBERT IS THE TRUE WINNER. In addition, I should also ask: What is wrong with this TV show called “American Idol,” anyway?

4/5 Only because I heard about this on the radio the other day! Is that fair? I suppose so. That's what I get for being a good listener.

Oh, as far as what I just read above, I don't even watch Idol...but I am reminded of how much I Elliott Yamin's music. He is an example of a wonderful talented artist that didn't make #1 but he is extremely successful nonetheless. If Adam is as good as you say, it doesn't matter that he didn't win; he will be successful anyway. People take these shows so emotionally...
