I hated him for most of the season but eventually I had to admit he's just fucking great. Stunning range and control to his voice, and a first class showman.

Isn't almost better to not win? Last year's winner I haven't heard much of, but that insipid Archuletta stuff is all over the radio. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 21, 06:49 16
- Theoretically it's better, but the winner does get a lot of free marketing. How many not-winners have ended up donig well? -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:50 15
  - Aiken, Jennifer Hudson... -- nm - Andie May 21, 06:53 4
    - True, but look at Clarkson and Underwood. As great as Hudson has done, the other two are much bigger. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:55 3
      - Because those two are better. The comparison, in my mind, is Clay and Ruben. - TFox May 21, 06:56 2
        
        I guess what I'm saying is, it doesn't seem to be *better* to get second place. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:56 1
        
        Without trying to be intentionally glib, it seems better to be better. :) -- nm - TFox May 21, 06:57
  - Daughtry, Aiken, Archuletta...(Did Jordan Sparks win? I forget.) -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 06:53 9
    - Wasn't Constantine Mouralis (is that his name?) just nominated for a Tony? -- nm - kelly May 21, 06:56 3
      - How that show even got to Broadway still baffles me. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 06:59
      - Yup. I think this supports znufrii's point. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 06:57 1
        
        I think several non-winners have done Broadway with some success. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:57
    - Sparks won, yeah. Aiken has kind of fizzled. Daughtry and Hudson have done well. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:54 4
      - I think Hudson was pure luck and unrelated to Idol. She got cast in a movie that got nominated. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 06:55 1
        
        do you think she ever would have been considered for the role if she hadn't done Idol? -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:58
      - of the winners, i only ever think of Clarkson and Underwood. the second place person doesn't have to release a Idol produced single. - Andie May 21, 06:55 1
        
        I actually think Adam would survive the Idol-mandated single better than someone like Cook. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:56
