You are absolutely right! My sweetie did an article very similar to this one last year for our local alternative weekly...he had this list of renowned artists who would have been absolutely slaughtered if they ever tried out for American Idol. The website is down for the magazine, but if I can find it somewhere without having to take the printed paper and write it out myself, I'm going to send it in!  Great job!

Would just like to add Josh Groban and Charlotte Church (once upon a time) to the long list of popular artists with a style that would've never made it on AI. Classical singers=/=boring, thank you very much.

OMG MAD PHILLY LOVE FOR MAN MAN!!!!111ONE!!1! But seriously, these are all fantastic and splendid suggestions. I think that perhaps instead of counting on Idol to grow some balls and let some originality seep in, you should pitch an entirely new series based upon finding the next Wayne Coyne. Or Miho Hatori.

Amen. They should start with killing the songwriters contest all together. People start cringing in anticipation of that song weeks in advance. If you are going to make them do a coronation song - then at least hire good writers to put it together. And on albums ... I'll just say this: David Cook had a song, Optimistic to a Fault, that is better than anything anyone associated with your label has ever written. It was for the upcoming album that he didn't get a chance to release. If it doesn't appear on his post Idol album we will collectively claw your eyes out as being the most ignorant people on the planet. I could see writing crap for Jordin Sparks. But with Mr Cook .. just stay out of his way as much as humanly possible and he will make you a LOT of money. Oh, and if you force him to put Time of My Life on his album .. God will hate you - no pressure.
