Kelly Clarkson - Deserved it 100%
Ruben Studdard - Undeserved. Clay Aiken should have won
Fantasia Barrino - Undeserved. Jennifer Hudson should have won
Carrie Underwood - Deserved it 100%
Taylor Hicks - AN UTTER TRAVESTY. Daughtry should have won
Jordin Sparks - Cop out. Melinda should have won
David Cook - Acceptable. Could be argued however.
Kris Allen - Acceptable. Could be argued however.

Agreed 100! The only thing is, though, had the people who should have won actually won, their career would be lacking in creative control and they may not have been as successful as they are now, so it is a good thing that they DIDN'T win. But I agree, talent-wise, they should have won.

I agree, Daughtry definitely should have won over Taylor. Daughtry's first CD has some great music on it. There's a new Daughtry CD that is coming out in July. I can't wait to hear it. music

Tamyra Gray is clearly the best talent I've seen on the show. I should've given up on it when she didn't win the 1st season. Thankfully, I gave up a couple of seasons later.

I wonder if the "it's all crap" posters have even listened to any songs by the artists outside the show. Kelly and Carrie are true artists, write their own songs and go out of the box for the genres. Who now can claim to be a power country singer other than Carrie Underwood? Even Reba was quoted as saying she had to "rock" it up abit after playing with Carrie. She's a real deal. When Kelly won, the show was still honest.

But look at the list of winners. Only Carrie and David Cook look remotely like pop stars in our supposedly looks-obsessed country. A guyliner-wearing, obviously not straight guy ALMOST took it all. Jordin is no skinny-mini. Rueben was well fed, Clay needed to be fed.

The show just needs to quit pimpin' certain contestants and ban anyone who even sniffed a record studio. THEN it will seem more honest.

I've heard enough to know that it really is all crap, to these ears anyway. I know "Since U Been Gone" got a lot of acclaim, but I didn't like it. It may only be a symptom of the real problem, but American Idol is emblematic of everything that's wrong with the music industry.

Kelly Clarkson's 2nd album was strictly a female empowerment record. People love that kind of stuff.

Out of all the past winners, the only one I've listened to is Fantasia, and that was only her first album. Didn't care for the second one at all. To me, she's a Soul singer and Arista tried to surpress that, like the did with Jennifer.

Rueben was supposed to be the next Luther Vandross. It didn't happen, though.

Imagine what Fuller must be pulling down a year. Cowell makes $36 million a year just 4 A.I.

I know. Cowell must pull in over a half-billion between Idol (US and UK) and the Got Talent shows (Britain and America). That doesn't include his other reality shows.

I need his gig. At least 1 of them.
