They weren't marketable. ;)

It hasn't even been a year yet since she won.

Kelly wasn't all that during her first year either. "From Justin to Kelly" - yeah right. Kelly really didn't take off until her "Breakaway" album came out.

Kelly had moderate success with her first album. Her singles (before the album) did great, but her first album was too commercial. it was still a success though. Her second album (which totally kicks ass) was better because she had more control and input on what it was she wanted to get through. It was more personal because she wrote I think all of the songs.

Fantasia has sold over a 1.5 records which is pretty good for a debut album.

Carrie's been very successful thus far too. But it's still too early to tell whether or not she'll last.

Josh Gracin (from season 2) has a successful country career and does well on the country charts (he's had 3 singles from his album reach #1).

Exactly. Hence the reason that this competition doesn't mean anything. In the end, you could have a fabulous voice, but if you're not marketable, the whole thing was a bust. You end up not being an idol. You're just a wannabe.

Plus, the whole voting system is flawed. It's not a true measure of which is the most popular. The judges commentary always sways the voting, people are allowed to call and vote 15 million times if they like. The whole thing is off balance.

Carrie won't last. I'd lay money on it. I'm not betting on it, though, because I'm usually bad at predicting these things, LoL.

Josh Gracin wasn't a winer. Which, again, shows that this process means nothing. The purpose of watching this show is to find out who will win, who will be the idol. Yet, in the end, the idols fade away and the LOSERS are the ones who become bigger names (Josh Gracin, Clay Aiken).

I'm not saying that the show doesn't have talent. It's just that the process is flawed and, therefore, pointless.

Now, back to the bad auditions...

Those dude with the black hair and the black shirt is kinda cute, LoL.

I like his voice!

Obviously, not a pop or American Idol. But he has such a Frank Sinatra voice, and I love Frankie! LoL Very Michael Buble, whose voice just MELTS me.

This girl looks like Ashlee Simpson and Jessica Simpton meshed together with a touch of Pamela Anderson and Tammy Faye Bakker.

And now she's singing. Why is she pressing her finger in her ear like she's got an earpiece? Or is she trying to block out the sound of her own horribleness?

    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich.
    • It is the least aware sobriety memoir I've ever read. No spoilers, but where was the editor to ask what she learned from all the stories in her life?
    • Well awards like these are certainly different from big name award shows in a few ways but this is an awards show, not a poll. Not the same gravitas, not the same cachet, etc. but an actual awards presentation show is going to happen. We Love Soaps used to have one. The Webbys, etc. various.  But if you are aware of a better place for this to be posted, then say so, but to be clear, NOT A POLL. 
    • Ok I just bought Kim's book on Amazon... should be an interesting read.
    • Well, I think she's trying to be funny, and it's technically accurate, if misleading. If you leave out the Sonni part it's "Josh left Reva to (go to) Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa." I guess "Josh left Reva after finding out the child she was carrying was his father's, and miscarried because of her drugged out step-daughter-in-law, where he met a woman with split personality..." isn't as "snappy". As for Robert, I thought he clicked with Harley and Annie, not so much Olivia. I'm on the fence about Sonni. Before Reva came to town, he crapped out with Morgan and Hillary, but a) I don't think anyone really had chemistry with Jennifer Cooke, who was not good, and b) I don't think the romance with Hillary was ever much more than filler. (oooh, Josh and Katie might've been cute...) But, after Reva, Josh was never really chem tested with actresses. I know there was some kind of flirtation with Jenna, which still seems odd to me (especially since Jenna was hiding a pregnancy).  But other than Cassie, Josh got involved with other women (from what I recall) when either he was out of town, or Reva was presumed dead. He didn't bust up with Reva and start dating around town.
    • Thanks for the info. Timm was a model for years, so one could speculate he may have done something like nudity etc... that violated CBN's moral clause. He was good in the role. He had an awesome mop of 80's blow dried hair that would rival Ted McGinley.....LOL
    • Before I met Reva, I really did enjoy Josh and Annie. The beginning of their relationship was really cute, the flirting and chemistry was there. I was fully into it, but then I learned who Jeva was and realized it couldn't sustain. I just read a few interviews that Kim gave online, and it's pretty clear she loves her wine, which I love. I'm a wine guy too, so I'm not surprised she had to have a little here and there to get through some things.
    • Opinion polls conducted by soap podcasters are not the same as "soap opera award shows".
    • Unfortunately, that period of the show would likely just put you to sleep. A part of me agrees, as I do think Robert is a good actor (better than I gave him credit for at the time), but I'm not sure, aside from Harley, how much he ever clicked with other ladies. He did have some spark with Crystal Chappell. I know there were claims they didn't get along either, although I remember reading somewhere (I think) a story about how Michelle was panicking when they had to film the rope ladder scenes in Venezuela, and Kim had to help her through...and Kim had also had a bit to drink.  (I hope I have the details right)
