5. The biracial guy with the "fierce" hair.
4. Holly C.
3. Jessica Sanchez
2. The Asian guy
1. Phillip Phillips
I'm sure that Phillip guy is gonna win. All the little girs are gonna call over and over. I think people will get tired of Jessica. She seems to lack humility, Holly has that (well I'm not saying that's who they are, but that's how they look like to the viewers) What I don't know is if he will have a career. Lately those winners are getting nowhere unless they do country, like since Jordan won.
Pia was not the best singer ever on the competition. I really don't understand why people were so sad or angry to see her go since she was always so predictable and boring. Even the judges told her. And many people deserved to win last year.
By the way, I thought Pia had had a record deal. Has anyone heard about her???
As for country music, it's really popular, and it's good music, with lots of talented people. Scotty was not my favorite but he can sing, and now has a great career. Good for him.
It would be ridiculous to have a separate contest - or in that case, we should have a rock idol, pop idol, r'n'b idol, jazz idol etc etc etc
Pia like McFee was not likeble. They look stuck up. Too perfect. Again I'm not saying that's who they are in real life, but that's how they are percieved. AI audience likes women that look average. Big voices with looks don't mix well.
I did find both very boring, but I prefer unique voices over technical perfection.

Just because you arent aware of what they're doing doesnt mean they're not successful and happy. Many AI winners have very successful careers releasing albums and touring. Many more finalists have very good careers on Broadway. Many other performers, who may not even have gotten into the Top 10, are singing on cruise ships and apparently very happy to perform in that venue.
There are websites that explain what all the finalists over the years are currently doing. Reading them might change your attitude about how these people are "going nowhere".
He will be fine, as long as he able to pass them out. Kidney stones do not relate to someones age. My partner has them lot probably passes over 100 a year. He just need to change his diet like give up on peanut butter, chocolate and tea.
Phillip can manage.

You are assuming, First I didn't say they were not happy, where did you get that? Second I do have an idea of what they are doing.
Besides, I'm talking about winners not finalists. And yes many are very very unpromoted and forgotten by most people. Lately it's gotten worse. Most people don't even remember Chris Allen, Cookie and Lee DeWyze won American idol. I only remember hearing one of Cookie's song on the radio after that, nothing. Chris and Lee I never heard them on the radio. Sorry but it's obvious 19 Entertainment is not promoting them and the producers are more interested in the ratings that in actually making a singer a pop star. And I don't think singing at cruiseships or doing backup singing is the kind of success an American Idol winner had in mind.

Again, just because you arent aware of what the former winners are doing doesnt mean they arent having successful careers. I dont define "successful" as "mega-star". Kris Allen has a great career and so do David Cook and Lee De Wyze.
If you want to take the time to educate yourself on this subject, the following is a good place to start:
I haven't seen any chatter about Jermaine Jones who has a very unique wonderful sound. We are rooting for him I think the duet he did with the cowboy (Ritchie Law) was incredible and could be released as a CD. And I think Ritchie should have stayed jermaine jones duet - Bing Videos
If he picks the right song next week he could be the stand out...I am rooting for him to pull it out.
So far I see them keeping Jessica, P2, Holly, skylar, jermaine, the kid with the Michael Bolton hair.... what # do they cut it down to next week?
I confess that my natural tendency is to think like Princess is - out of sight, out of mind - I figure they just go back to their old lives and move on. It used to be that if somebody was anybody that everybody knew about it. Fame is different now, though - it comes in so many different shapes, sizes and specialized segments. TFW brings up excellent points - just because I haven't followed these kids and their faces/names aren't plastered all over mainstream media, doesn't mean they aren't out there doing their thing, selling albums, and developing a fan base that will fill concert venues. Many of them don't go back to their old lives - they have the opportunity to pursue a career in music that they might not have had without Idol.
