He is a cute little dude who has the appeal of a little Michael Jackson or Donny Osmond, except he doesn't do any original material and if put in the Delta Center, would be as entertaining as watching the Mickey Mouse Club.
He's just a kid. And it's a karaoke contest. Of course he is not going to bring out original material. That would mean immediate failure.

I think you are misusing the term Emo. What Emo bands are you referring to?

The other hack on American Idol is definitely not Emo.

I hope he does a show in LA. I would love to sit through 2 hours of that.

I am going to go out on one limb and agree with you on this.

I once liked Def Leppard. Pyromania and their earlier albums are decent. Hysteria is on the edge of selling out, and Adrenalize was a deal breaker.

"Let's Get Rocked?"

"Make Love Like a Man?"

Yuk.

Watch for Disney to pick him up. At least they won't have to worry about this kid doing porn like their current child star has done.

Every american Idol winner as well as non-winners have made it big. I know they dont play in trendy LA clubs for $50 bucks and a free bar tab so you have never watched them, but they have sold millions of records.
