Kris Allen won. Which proves the point that in most cases, they are better off NOT winning with the exception of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

I always tuned in when American Idol first came on air. Eventually I lost interest around the Jordin Sparks time. Some winners such as Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks.....seem to have fizzled out. It seems that some of the "losers" like Jennifer, Adam Lambert, Katherine McPhee (kinda) and Chris Daughtry have done better.

@Bri369 seeing him with Queen or in concert by himself is in my bucket list

@Rose429, I just went to watch.😭
I also have loved him ever since AI.
I think he is one of the most outstanding performers ever.
Every song he sings he puts his whole life into it.

Carrie Underwood, my favorite. I picked her from the begining.

@Shanus Kelly and Carrie Underwood were both the winners of their season.. At least some on AI have huge success. No one on The Voice on NBC has made it big except for a couple of country singers with mediocre success. That show does nothing to promote the talent they find.

Another fan here. We were talking about that song in the OP, in a thread here recently, and ITA that it's stunningly beautiful. (big Cher fan, too!)
AI really never caught on for me because I didn't like the system that turns it into a popularity contest instead of a talent contest.

He's sensational!
