Here's what/who changed my mind - Carrie Underwood. By all rights, she should've been chewed up & spit out by the 19 Entertainment machine because she was Country/Western; however, she's been the biggest star AI's produced - even bigger than Kelly Clarkson. Daughtry's big too, but I wouldn't argue that you can't become a star/be successful if you don't finish first.
The biggest factor is having true, real, actual, distinctive, saleable, you know - talent. That's the key to making a go of a career in show business & establishing some longevity in it. That's what's gotten Clay, Tamyra, & Fantasia onto Broadway. It's what keeps Taylor touring & filling up the clubs. It's what keeps Bo making albums & touring, etc...
So, I guess my point is this - I now want to see the best talent win out. No compromises. Archuleta is compromised and would be a compromise. Cook is not, and would not be one.
