...American Idol. The new season starts soon which I will probably miss again. I'm just not a fan, didn't watch any of last season's show. But I do remember this guy and the discussions we had about him here. I found this on CNN this morning.
That guy Taylor Hicks has been dropped by his record comany. His record sales have been in the toilet and he is the first idol to not have a hit. If you remember, I said that if people could not see him having spasms as he sings there would be no sales. I was right!
FWIW, another winner, Ruben Studdard has been a dud as well. He was also dropped a while back. It appears that, in general, NOT winning is many times more lucrative and successful than coming in first! Which winners have been big hits? I can only think of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. How many years has this show run? I have no idea, but much more than two.
