American Idols dropped from record labels

Seems Like second season Kimberley Locke is doing consistently well. Very Diverse but on the airwaves alot!

Taylor Hicks,great stage performer;Vegas baby!!! Katherine tremendous voice;sang with the blind romance singer. They need to put out a recording together;fantastic!!!! 43 yrs.old boyfriend good for her.This is an insanely youth oriented society. All you young punks are just jealous!!!! Get it up any way you can. You don't need a hard one to have a women love you..Listen to what they say and treat them as equals is the answer. Youth is wasted on the young. Hang around long enough and you will develop some wisdom.

Like Simon always says, song choice is critical. Kat's album didn't sell because the songs on it are crap. She's a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice but she's signing 'songs' that don't show off her talent.
Taylor's album is teriffic. If you haven't heard it you are missing out on some good music. It's nothing like the crap he had to sing on Idol. It's good songs with a good band and his soulful vocals are great.

Taylor Hicks should go independent with a blues or roots music label because that stuff was good. This pop schlock he had to do wasn't his style.

Carrie Underwood is so popular because she sings country. Country hicks come out of nowhere and purchase albums because they can't figure out how to illegally download music.

This isn't surprising. It can even be argued that it is easier to be successful if you don't win. If the singer doesn't win, they are less likely to be stuck trying to gather as broad an audience as possible with a generic sound outside of their preferred genre. One of the flaws of the show is people sing to win and don't sing what they really like how they want much of the time. Contestants may build a fan base with their sound, but that doesn't translate into sales since ballads and pop songs from the past aren't going to make up their entire album. Instead of allowing the contestant to find their niche on the show and then make the most of that, they are forced to be as generic as possible and some of the producers aren't smart enough to realize the problem with that.

Simon was right about Carrie Underwood, that's for sure. She will be a star long after everyone else has been dropped by their labels, developed drug habits, gone to rehab, and appeared on their own E! reality show.

You mccokas fans need to come to reality! Well Step 1 has happend with her being dropped by her label.I'll just sit back now and watch what happens when she has her wedding to her daddy/pervert.That will be step 2 in the destruction of a promising career.Step 3 will be the pregnancy news is known and then its all over, so get "OVER IT".From some of her remarks in the past she might be diagnosed with a mental issue over her wanting older men? Anyway McCokas fans We'll see in time if someone wants to invest in her career when they see the same thing that most of the public sees.

Kelly Clarkson isn't doing that well either, her fame is finally dieing because everyone is now seeing the real, bitch side of her.

No one cares about Katharine McPhee's singing, they rather watch her in porn than listen to her sing. Hmm... American Idol the porno featuring Katharine McPhee. That would sell millions!

Can't agree with you on dropping it American Idol altogether. The auditions and rejects are sooo funny. That is what the show is all about. The lousy singers and the comments and facial expressions from the judges.
