Dying has-beens?
Simon Cowell has quoted that Carrie Underwood will be the American Idol who will outsell every past winners. He sticked to his instincts for weeks and boy oh boy was he right, Carrie was crowned the winner of American Idol 4. In many people's perspective, Bo Bice should be the top dog of the night. From my point of view a.k.a perspective, Bo Bice will go on to beat Carrie in the Billboard charts and record sales. Foreseeing the future of Carrie Underwood is unpredictable. She would either go on, as Simon "predicted", outsell every past winners of AI, or at least should I say, fail in the pop music scene miserably and go back to Country music, which is her forte. But for now, this concerns people like Ruben, Fantasia, Taufik and co. Leave Kelly out. She has already been conquering charts all around the world. But where's Ruben Studdard, the winner of AI 2? Even that season's runner-up Clay Aiken did better than him in record sales. So what further more can you expect from him? What about Fantasia? She seems to be drifting away from the music scene. That's why lots of negative comments were pinning on the third season of AI, which I think is the worst season among the rest. What about our "local" music talent T.B? Where the hell can you see him perform besides charities and high tea concerts? It seems that his career isn't really setting him off the road onto the competitive industry, but instead onto the fields where cows and oxens can be seen. I meant no offence to the latter but after being through so much, a question is still a question. Nothing can be changed or done unless you answer it. So live up the hype and do that!
