Thats a trip that you are related. Here it is, American Idol is not about talent. SURE you need some but look at some of the crap in the mainstream today. Its completely about popularity, total star quality. He has a carisma about him that makes him appealing to the masses(especially 13 year old little girls). I am sure that once he starts doing his own stuff he'll have a TOTALLY different sound than what he has to sing on the show. I don't think he is all that bad ( although he is not the best performer).
