Jordin Sparks News About to Break

Agreed. Kelly may be the only Idol who won fairly, because at the time TPTB truly didn't know whether the show would sink or swim. Not really enough time to throw together a big rig and plantfest like they've done in years since. And *I* could make it in Cuntry TOMORROW if I could just write a few more songs about how my truck, dog, and wife died. All on the SAME DAY, y'all. It's called "Bury Me, Lord(But I Still Trust You)". Watch for it!

GO KELLY.

Oh, yes. We lice came over on the boat from Ireland, don'cha know.

It's also Katherine and Ruben who were dropped from their labels. Blake will probably be as well in a few months.

I didn't mean that Kelly was less successful than Carrie, I meant that right now, Carrie is topping the charts and Kelly is not.

Overall, of course, Kelly has sold more, but in this "what have you done for me lately" world, Carrie is "now" and Kelly is "then."

There is nothing wrong with "then," unless you're in the top 24 and have to sing 60s songs with the threat of being called "old fashioned."

Kelly coped with depression because she was no longer topping charts over and over, but has bounced back... not to the same degree, but still coming back. Carrie, on the other hand, has had continual sucess ever since winning. Hard to argue with consistency.

If we wanted to get technical, I would say that out of all the Idolists, Jennifer Hudson is the most successful, because of the prestige of winning an Oscar. Many singers win Grammys, but only a select few actors win Oscars, and she got one on her first attempt?! Quite an accomplishment.

Just watch, the next batch of letters will blame us.

Where did you get this anorexia rumor about Kelly ? All I could find was a reference (in US Weekly online, which said it was quoting Cosmo Girl) to bulimia when she was in high school.
