and Clarkson didn't really take it to the next level until her second album came out.

Somebody better grab Elliott. He appeals across all age ranges as opposed to Ace who is basically a solo boy band...and by the way...where did they all go? 15 minutes and gone.......

It will be interesting to see what happens when Clay's second album comes out this summer.

Clarkson is NOT the only successful winner. Carrie Underwood not only has two current hits, she also won two CMA awards.

This is the first year I really followed AI. I would have to say I predict Elliott will be the most successful. He has the most wonderful, unique voice. My son and I will be the first in line to buy the first album.

Carrie Underwood has become a hit in the country music world practically over night. It took Kelly Clarkson a while to become popular with non-Idol fans.

Bo's fairly successful as well - Clay's not the only runner up who is doing well.

When Carrie wins two Grammys, we'll talk, lol. Who pays attention to CMAs except people in country music? See the difference? Apples and oranges.

There is so much talent that came out of AI this year. However, it is Elliott Yamin who really touched our souls with his performances. My family cannot wait for his first CD. We play our little homemade CD with his performances over and over.

How many copies of Ace's CD will sell, do you think? His utterly undeserved 15 minutes were over long ago. And Daughtry was a fool to pass up his Fuel opportunity--I predict he'll be back in his local watering hole dodging beer bottles within the year. See ya both in the discount bin!! hee.

Kelly is great, but she is not the only successful Idol. Carrie Underwood is huge in Country right now - winning 2 CMA awards and selling plenty of CDs. Fantasia isn't as big, but she also has had some success in her genre, and she is set to star in a Lifetime movie about herself and her struggle with illiteracy.

Who is the moron who doesn't think that CMA awards count? The most popular, best selling music in America is Country Music. Seems as if someone's prejudice/bigotry is showing.

Carrie will be bigger than big. Everyone may not know country, but knows famous country singers and thinks the world of them, ie., Shania, Faith, even Dolly,, and a host of others!

Thanks to Elliott's fantastic interpretation of "Moody's Mood for Love" on the "Encores" CD, his duet with Mary J. Blige, and his collaboration (and subsequent spike in sales) on the hip-hop Gospel CD "Sound Doctrine" released by Big Planz, Elliott is gaining major credibility in the music world, particularly the R&B community. I believe that his talent transcends the usual racial/cultural/gender boundaries and that he will have solid, long term success as an artist. His music moves us and his life inspires us. I wish Elliott all the best; he deserves it!

I thought Chris would be the winner. He touched hearts from the get go. I did not like Taylor, his personality is tooooooo old.......lol

Reply

Will Ace simply grace the CD cover or will he pretent to have talent and give us real music? I don't think so. Eliiot's CD is worth waiting for and so is Chris's.
Kat was ok, but I don't think I could stand a CD worth...maybe a voice on a soundtrack or two. Someone should save Ace the embarrassment and ask him to pursue modeling or acting instead. I think Vanilla ice had more talent.(LOL) And, I must add, he was fine.......

why not all of them being successful? a contract appearances, a following? those are all signs of success to me!
