Of course big voices work for some people - Like Shirley or Jewel. But these people, you can just tell they have amazing voices and they don't have to prove shit. But people like Fantasia, who have no real control over their careers or what they're doing and don't have much to say will come and go. And the same happened IMO with Clay and Reuben.
Kelly was different but that's because she has some artistic integrity and Carrie Underwood is a country star and she is marketed perfectly IMO. But honestly, when people buy a record, they don't always wants a perfect voice. We at kittyradio OBVIOUSLY fall into that bunch. And honestly, the whole idea behind American Idol is just dumb to me. Why not try to find people with eclectic talent and wits?
