From the way things are shaping up David Archuleta could be the top two and possibly win this season of American Idol, but would that really be good for his career? Lets take a look at past winners, shall we?
Kelly Clarkson, the original, and arguably the most successful “winner” of American Idol has OK record sales and the ticket sales for her tours are usually lukewarm. Last year she had to cancel her summer tour due to low ticket sales… sad. Her current album is #50 on the billboard chart right now. Respectable but hardly an Idol
Ruben Studdard, Don’t even get me started on this hot mess, we all know what happened to him. Nothing. Poor guy. Dismal record sales and no hits, Ruben was recently let go of his record contract
Taylor Hicks, Soul Patrol! ugh. This guy hasn’t done anything post Idol and was let go of his contract Jan of this year.
Now there have been some winners that are successful but not many. Such as Carrie Underwood, the country darling and Fantasia who is currently on Broadway performing in Color Purple. Jordin Sparks career is going to the crapper doing OK, but she had to just cancel her tour with Alica Keys so who know what the future holds for her.
The ones that really make it are the ones that get voted off! Such as Clay Aiken (also on Broadway),Chris Daughtry, Katherine McPhee, Kimberly Locke, Jennifer Hudson (Oscar winner!) hmmmm, see what I mean?
Maybe he should “forget” some lyrics or have his voice crack, or act like a big fat jerk and get voted off this upcoming week. I personally think it would do his career a world of good!
