I don't see Taylor's music as being "pop" which is what american idol is, and I'm just not a fan of the jazzy type music I think he will make.

I brought up that same argument a few weeks ago, and I was reminded that none of the prior winners were really "pop" singers.

I would still argue that point.. rock can be pop, country can be pop..

I would consider the two girls that have won (not fantasia) pop.. I can't remember names though.

In my opinion (I could be wrong) I think that people like faith hill, carrie underwood, and a lot of other country singers in the last decade or so (mostly women) are far from your traditional country singers.. even like garth brooks.. etc. I think they are more pop/country if there is such a thing.

I think they should broadcast a few takedowns. I think that would do wonders for the ratings.

Yet, you dislike me.

I love American Idol. I laughed my ass of last night. I'm hoping once they get through the first round it gets a little better than last year. I really don't want another Sanjaya incident to happen again this season.

I really don't care what anyone else thinks.

I enjoyed and continue to enjoy Kelly Clarkson's first album. I enjoy hearing her sing live, I think she's got a great voice. I've never listened to her second album, though the one song I did hear on the radio was horrible. I'm not listening to it all the time, but I did pay for it, and I do like it. I mostly listen to rock/trance, but occasionally I like me some cheesy pop and her music fits the bill just fine.

After that, I can name a few ex AIers, but I don't think any of them have been truly successful or noteworthy. Except for Bo Bice. He sucks ass.

Carrie Underwood has been a phenomenal success.
6x platinum, fastest selling country debut in history (in an era where music sales are imploding), 4 AMAs, 13 Billboard awards, 2 Grammys, Seven number 1 hits.
Her latest album has sold close to 3 million in 3 months.

I'm not a fan of country music by any means, but I'm pretty sure you would consider her success pretty damn noteworthy.
