Voice. If all their stars came in the 3 or 4 seasons that would largely explain it. But while the biggest ones came from that era, there have been others, even non-winners, that have had solid careers. I couldn't name a single person from the Voice who has done anything of note once they were done with the show. Have the country singers done well? I don't really know that genre. Maybe Blake Shelton has made some stars? I don't know.

- I suppose, but there's nothing inherently different about the show (I think) that it would make it less of a star-making vehicle than AI. -- nm - pmb Apr 8, 08:04 8
  - You misunderstood me before. Idol is the real deal, the rest are just noise, largely because it was the first one. - Spawn Apr 8, 09:03 1
    - I couldn't name a single singer on The Voice. I know the judges names. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 09:09

      - It seems like Idol does more for getting them on Itunes, and puts them in positions to excel. - groiny Apr 8, 08:22 2
        
        I think your second paragraph IM is right. The Voice does tours with its singers just like Idol and they do make their performances available on - pmb Apr 8, 08:31 1
        
        Actually the more I think about it, the more I think that's it. In many ways the purpose of Idol was to find new stars for Simon Cowell's record - pmb Apr 8, 08:36
- right, more reality competition like Survivor than AI -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 08:01
