So I don't watch American Idol
and heard on the radio a song, "My life would suck without you" by a person named Kelly Clarkson. I thought, "hmm", I wonder if she is very famous, then I googled and learned she was some American Idol phenom. Is this the only one from that show which I have not watched that has become a famous performer? Yes, I'm late to the party but what the hell better to be late than to never show.

Thanks for the opportunity to feel pop culturally literate again after that Natasha whatsherface incident. Pretty low threshold you've set here, though, so I won't pat myself on the back too hard. |

Nah, you've got me pegged wrong. I try to be cool, but sometimes I just don't have the time or the tolerance level to rise to that level. Plus, I rarely drive in a car, so I rarely listen to the radio.

I am cool, I just don't play to others cool. You're DC so you've go metro.

Good gracious Archaea, have you no shame at all? Kelly is not the only star to come off of AI. She's not even the biggest -- not by a longshot. |

Apparently no shame, but I can blame it on daughter number two. So that I won't get this wrong on the next pop quizz, please inform me which Idol hit it bigger. Wikipedia, that veritable fountain of knowledge, made me think Kelly was the biggest winner.

Depends on which measure you use, but Carrie Underwood has won something like five Grammies and eight or nine CMAs. She's sold an obscene number of albums, and of course she's gorgeous. Jennifer Hudson won an Oscar and a couple of Grammies. Kelly has been successful, but she's not alone.
