"Idol" is, however, supposed to be a democracy. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/4649112   (1167 words)

CNN.com - Underwood the new 'American Idol' - May 27, 2005 Before the new "American Idol" winner was announced, Wednesday night's show featured highlights of some of the worst wannabes. Last year's final two, winner Fantasia Barrino and runner-up DeGarmo, have used "Idol" as a launching pad for albums and concert tours; the previous season's finalists, winner Ruben Studdard and second-place finisher Clay Aiken, each had best-selling debut albums. First season champ Kelly Clarkson has lasted longer than many critics thought she would, hitting the top 10 recently with the Max Martin-produced song "Since U Been Gone." However, her co-finalist, Justin Guarini, has struggled, having been dropped by his label after his first album sold poorly. www.cnn.com /2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/25/american.idol   (1018 words)

mtv.com - News - Constantine Ousted From 'Idol' In Series Bombshell In what could go down in the "American Idol" record books as the phenomenon's single greatest upset, New York native Constantine Maroulis — who was considered one of this season's strongest contenders from his first performance — was given the proverbial elbow, narrowing the contest's finalist field to five. No season of "American Idol" would be complete without at least one. If nothing else, Constantine's ousting proves there's no predicting "American Idol." Last night, Maroulis was relegated to the bottom three for the first time, while being one of the show's fewest vote-getters was no doubt a familiar feeling for bottom-three cohorts Vonzell Solomon and Anthony Fedorov. www.mtv.com /news/articles/1500913/20050428/index.jhtml?headlines=true   (755 words)

After 'Idol,' Straining for a High Note (washingtonpost.com) Kimberley Locke, second runner-up on last season's "American Idol," is sitting in a dressing room backstage at the television talk show "The View," waiting to perform her first single. The song, "8th World Wonder," is the first post-"Idol" single to debut at No. 1 on the sales charts, and her "View" appearance is one stop on a victory lap that is a powerful testament to the mighty reach of "Idol," which now regularly attracts 20 million viewers per show.

New York Daily News - Entertainment - David Bianculli: Latest 'Idol' lacks pop In its fourth season, "American Idol" remains a ratings powerhouse - so formidable that rival ABC is trying to ride its wave by airing a controversy-seeking "Fallen Idols" edition of "Primetime Live" tomorrow night. The first year, when this Americanized version of Britain's "Pop Idol" show and acerbic judge Simon Cowell were equally fresh to our shores, there was the satisfying drama of watching Kelly Clarkson - neither the thinnest nor the most charismatic finalist - make it to the end by the strength of her vocals alone. So far, the result has been an "Idol" season so dull that the most excitement generated all year has when someone at the program got a few of the voting numbers wrong. www.nydailynews.com /entertainment/story/305761p-261655c.html   (757 words)
