Question... On last night's AI Finale where were the other winners from past years... Kelly Clarkson, Rubin Studdard & Fantasia. Trust me it was cool to see the other special guest especially the long awaited Prince performance,but shouldn't the past Idol winners be required or invited to attend and or perform?

Invited, sure, but probably not interested/busy. I think Fantasia is making a movie...Kelly could be busy with anything since she is huge now....Ruben I think has dropped off the face of the earth. I remember hearing a few years ago that there was a health scare and he was going to start making losing weight a big priority. Maybe he is waiting to reappear, fit and healthy.

I don't know about the missing idols but I didn't recognize Clay Aiken at first. He really caught me by surprise.
