For the fourth straight season, we were not compelled to vote for any of the American Idol contestants. We were satisfied to record the performance shows and fast forward through most of the stuff and the things to get to the music, then check the results online.
Again, we didn't download any of the studio recordings from any of the contestants. That's not to say we didn't think they were talented. On the contrary. We liked several of the contestants. We just didn't find any of the recordings to be a must have.
So who joined this list of winners?
Season 1, Kelly Clarkson
Season 2, Reuben Studdard
Season 3, Fantasia Barrino
Season 4, Carrie Underwood
Season 5, Taylor Hicks
Season 6, Jordin Sparks
Season 7, David Cook
