To be fair, a CD every 2 or 3 years isn't unusual in today's music world.

True but his first disc was pushed out right quick so... I think if these people were marketing/managed better, they'd be considered more successful and/or would actually BE more successful. I just think this show is turning into a parody... much the same as ANTM is a total joke. Not a top model to be seen!

It's been 2.5 years since his first album. That's about the same length of time since Lady Gaga's first album and Adele's first, who are/have both releasing/ed their second studio albums now. Many of the idols are having very successful careers; even many of the losers are doing well. They may not be superstars, but they are most likely doing much better than they would have without the exposure Idol gave them.

The difference between David Cook and Lady Gaga (well, that sure could be a long comparison...LOL...and by the way David Cook is my favorite of the past 3 winners) is that Lady Gaga was able to tour and milk her first album for the last 2.5 years while David Cook hasn't charted all that well. She didn't HAVE to put out another album because she kept releasing new singles off her first album...she didn't need any new momentum. I truly hope David Cook succeeds. To me he is one of the best Idols ever, easy to look at and had a lovely voice and great artistic expression. I agree that without American Idol guys like David Cook, Taylor Hicks, Lee Dewyze, etc., would probably only be playing small clubs in local venues, so in that regard they are exposed to a greater level of success and name recognition.

Maybe David Cook should try showing up in an egg. Used to love Lady Gaga, but now the theatrics are out-shining the music. She's wearing out her welcome.

Or in something see-through...I might pay for that. Lady Gaga has become way too full of herself IMO.

The first time I had seen or heard of Lady Gaga was when she appeared on Idol. I thought she was the worst performer I had had ever seen on Idol. Am I the only one who she freaks out and doesn't get her?

Oh her act is weird all right but I still think that she is very talented. Her performance with Elton John at the Grammys a couple of years ago was fantastic. Same type of performer as Adam Lambert.

most of the time I hear Lady Gaga on the radio so I like her songs w/o seeing her get ups! And I like the singer/artist if I find myself singing along and wanting to dance to it and her songs have that effect on me!

I used to feel the same way, but the more she opens her mouth in a non-singing way the less I like her.

I used to love Lady Gaga also. But, to me, her single "Born that Way" is pure Madonna.
