May 24, 200719 yr How succesful have all of the second place finishers been? Bo? Not very. Kid with funny hair that came into second the first year? Witness protection program obviously. McPhee? Not yet although if you made me bet, I'd say she will be more successful that Soul Patrol. Who am I missing? Your point is valid - not a great track record. Wasn't one of the country guys on AI? Josh Gracin maybe?
May 24, 200719 yr But that's his demographic. He's never even tried to be popular with college kids. He's a crooner. He sings for the bluehairs. Blue hairs want to hear old stuff - not any new stuff by him. Is he going to do covers for his career?
May 24, 200719 yr For a show that's trying to find the next 'pop' star, it's kind of ironic that the show has produced more successfull country singers than anything.
May 24, 200719 yr Wasn't one of the country guys on AI? Josh Gracin maybe? There are three non-winners doing well in country music right now. Josh Gracin, Kelly Pickler, and Bucky Covington. Granted, the latter you're just starting to hear about him, but his new single is all over the country radio stations.

May 24, 200719 yr Historically most who are voted off have more successful careers than the winner (save Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood). Again, it could just be that there are more of them, but winning doesn't necessarily equal success. Winners: Kelly Clarkson Ruben Studdard Fantasia Barrino Carrie Underwood Taylor Hicks Jordin Sparks Other Notables: Clay Aiken Kimberly Locke Jennifer Hudson Bo Bice Elliot Yamin Daughtry
May 24, 200719 yr What did they do to Kelly Pickler? She lost her cuteness. I agree. It's all the makeup, goofy hairstyles, and clothing. They're getting rid of that simple, country girl that many liked from AI.
May 24, 200719 yr What did they do to Kelly Pickler? She lost her cuteness. I think they implanted it into her chest.

Second place historically hasn't treated people that well.
May 25, 200719 yr McPhee? Not yet although if you made me bet, I'd say she will be more successful that Soul Patrol. If your talking about Fantasia, isn't she the lead performer on a broadway show?
May 25, 200719 yr If your talking about Fantasia, isn't she the lead performer on a broadway show? No no no. Soul Patrol is Taylor Hicks. Fantasia has/will have moderate success at best.
May 25, 200719 yr No no no. Soul Patrol is Taylor Hicks. Fantasia has/will have moderate success at best. Ok, I don't or haven't watched many episodes of any season, but I do think the person that finished 2nd hasn't had all that much success historically.
