Do Southerners Have a Monopoly on American Idol Wins?

It sure looks that way--they've hailed from Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Alabama.

So I'm just curious:

If you lived in Alabama a few years ago and were looking for some weekend entertainment, and Ruben Studdard, Bo Bice, and Taylor Hicks were all playing in your town, who'd you plunk your money down to see?

Re Do Southerners Have a Monopoly on American Idol Wins?

I never thought Ruben was that talented. He was mainly just a big teddy bear that everyone just loved to love. I'm not into the rock scene, so Bo would go on without me. I really like Taylor, though. Seems like he knows which songs are him and he enjoys every note. That transfers to me and I can feel his emotion.

I think Ruben has more warmth and tone, but Taylor would be a much better entertainer.

And I would dump them all in a heartbeat to go see Kelly Clarkson.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Southerners should win. Everything. All the time.

I don't know the other idols. This is my first season to watch the show. But, I would pay to see Taylor. Not $100, but up to $25.

This yankee says that the south can have American Idol and keep it.

I'd see Taylor, but that's because he's the only one I know.
