reason no. 21


The 21st reason to get excited about AI, season 7:

You don't have to win to be famous.

OK, I know this is a pretty weak one, but I'm actually using it to segue to another issue on which I'd like your opinions. Just caught an interesting debate in the comments portion of Idol Chatter -- some people think the fact that so many runners-up have gone on to get recording contracts cheapens the show's value.

A few commenters, in fact, have suggested a rule that would allow only the first-place contestant to record. Period.

Would you support this?

No Way! If they had done that previously, we wouldn't have Daughtry and that would just be sad!
