I think that's all a matter of perspective.
Personally, I didn't feel LaKisha was a fantastic singer. I was one of those who felt all she does is scream and belt out into a microphone. Other people think she sings great.
There was a time I thought Blake was pretty alright, but that feeling is pretty much gone for me too. Some people are really into his beat-boxing or whatever it's called.
I agree that the last idol (Taylor) is a complete failure, but Carrie Underwood (who I think won before he did?) is selling a phenomenal amount of CDs.
I do think that AI has lost it's sparkle, but mainly because the talent pool recently seems to have been running dry and several people in the last couple of seasons got record deals anyway. If this is a competition is to 'win a recording contract' and 2 or 3 people in the top 5 got record contracts anyway, what's the whole point? Just my .02 though
