I believe Ruben was second year. The truly awesome Kellie Clarkson won the first year.
Actually Kelly Clarkson was first.
So the winners were:
Kelly Clarkson
Reuben Studdard
Fantasia
Carrie Underwood
Taylor Hicks
Jordan Sparks
David Cook
So three minorities out of 7 winner’s, almost 50 percent. Does Idol discriminate against blacks...NO.
I hate seeing race tossed about. They are all talented but somebody has to rise to the occasion and dazzle, if you will.
I’m sorry to see Lil gone, not that saving Matt had much to do with her getting voted off.
Anoop is gonna be big, hugh.. in India.. he has a set of jokers in each hand , we’ll see if he plays them right, :-)
Regardless, they will all have albums and such soon enough..;-)
