I'm no fan of Ms Hudson,but it's just incorrect to say she's not successful. She's had lots of hits on r&b radio, but not as many as Fantasia (and both have won Grammy awards,do they are both commercially and critically successful). Of course, if you don't listen to music aimed at non-white audiences it might appear that both have mediocre careers. OTOH, I have literally never heard a song by Lambert, Daughtry, or Underwood on the radio either because that's not the kind of music I enjoy.

People can define success any way they want to and IMO Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia have achieved a considerable level of success from a fan and a critical perspective. However, as I mentioned earlier, when I think of the intent behind American Idol I think of the opening display showing huge performances and an immense cheering crowd that "idolizes" the performer. The only Idols that have reached that level are Kelly and Carrie (Daughtry didn't win). So Jennifer Hudson has not met that definition of a successful Idol as defined by the show itself. For a start, she didn't even come close to winning her season. Carrie 12,235,000 records sold Kelly 10,628,000 records sold Chris Daughtry 6,037,000 records sold Clay 4,960,000 records sold Fantasia 2,747,000 records sold . . . Jennifer 825,000 records sold . . . Lee DeWyze 116,000 records sold The numbers speak for themselves.

Hahaha... who is Lee DeWyze?? Naja, the arm movements. OMG I totally noticed almost every single woman doing that, and it was really annoying. Particularly when the lyrics didn't match the arm movements. Very distracting and I hope someone tells 'em to stop it next performance.

The only CDs I bought were Ruben Studdard, Jennifer Hudson, David Cook and Chris Daughtry. Plan on buying Jennifer's new CD too.

Ketchup, not sure that list is real. I think it was someone's wish list--in which case it shouldn't be in the spoiler section on that board.

we (whole family) own Kelly Clarkson's first couple, Clay Aiken - everything, Carrie Underwood - first couple, Daughtry - all, David Cook - his first, Kris Allen - his first, and Crystal Bowersox's Farmer's Daughter album. out of all of them I'd have to say I like David Cook's and Crystal Bowersox's the best.

The only CD's I've bought are Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry, and Lee Dewyze(yes, I know who he is and LOVE his album along with my 13 and 15yr old daughters.) IMO Lee and Crystal are getting a raw deal on the marketing of their albums.

I have a Clay Aiken CD and an old CD of Taylor Hicks. The record industry is so different these days...it is not the cash cow it used to be for the artists. Digital pirating, single downloads on itunes instead of album sales...I don't think any of these artists will have the huge numbers that people "back in the day" did. My local radio station talks about it all the time. Kellie Pickler has also had some success. I think Scotty would be very happy if he was able to be a successful country artist, so I don't think he cares if he doesn't get a pop album...I don't think that's the way that boy leans...LOL! I am still considering buying Crystal's music on itunes.

Her priorities are probably quite different from the rest of the girls. Roxip, plus she is 'Rasta'- a religion - way of life not just a hair style and appearance. Their ideals and consciousness are first and foremost, plus food choices are ire; she will warm up to others slowly, hope this board gives her chance. She is talented and pretty. Did you hear her shout out to her husband?
