Why does AI feel a need to remove the viewers vote results? Has the format worked that badly for them?
First season Kelly Clarkson. They have made a ton of money off her.
Second season. Reuben Studdard. From what I've read THEY pimped him, so if he didn't bring in the money they hoped for, that is their own fault.
Season 3 - Fantaiser. Another one they need to take responsibility for. They are the ones that bashed Jennifer Hudson and pomped for Screechasia.
4. Carrie Underwood, bringing in tons of money for them.
5. Taylor Hicks. They bad mouthed him so bad and never promoted him like they did all their other winners and then wonder why his sales were so poor. His new cd is awesome, I love it and hope he has some great hits with it. Are they still so mad that Daughtry didn't win? Isn't Daughtry bringing in good money for them? Or would Daughtry have been eliminated too early for them to latch onto his money via contracts?
6. Jordan Sparks. Another one they pimped because she was young and they were looking for a pop tart. Didn't matter if she could actually sing well consistently.
Lucky #7 - David Cook, who is sure to bring in tons of money.
So, has the format really been that bad for them, to risk what little credibility they have left by now making viewers votes useless?
Each of their losers, THEY had a hand in creating including Taylor Hicks. Not be cause he is bad, but because they wanted someone else and they never gave him the same promotions or treatment that they have given to all the others, including their favorite niche singers like Fantaiser, Reuben and Jordan.
Yeah, I would agree with your assessment. The only thing I would slightly disagree with is Jordin Sparks. She was the best of a very horrible season. Other then Blake Lewis I can’t even remember anyone on that season. Oh wasn’t there a chunky guy with a weird name like Cherokee or Shenandoah or something who we all thought would do well? He sang Nights in White Satin and was cut immediately?
