Fantasia Gets Honorary Diploma

[Senusret I]

I understand your point, it's just not a good one. So she's not THE most successful winner. She's still outsold all but five other finalists. Someone with a platinum album, gold album, a book, an appearance on Broadway, a reality show, and a starring role in an upcoming film is obviously not putting all their eggs in one basket.

That's advice you would give to a 16 year old who is auditioning for American Idol, not somebody who won.

The whole point of my original comment and then the comment about ITT was that she won't have her voice forever. Someone new is going to come around and Fantasia will be history.

IMO Fantasia will not be a blip on the music radar 5-10 years from now. Fantasia's voice is not unique.

I just don't think people, especially musicians and actors, should put all their eggs in one basket, because eventually that basket will dry up. The whole point was that she needs a back-up plan.

But then again, if she really cared about her future beyond music or even considered a future beyond music, she wouldn't have taken 9 years to get a GED. But that is just my opinion.

My point still stands that she ISN'T the most successful AI! Because she's not.

Your point is silly because you don't have to be the most successful American Idol winner in order to be a success.

Exactly.

Carrie Underwood is usually dubbed the most successful, but it'd be silly to say that Kelly Clarkson needs to drop everything now and go to college because she's not the MOST successful.

I like Carrie and Kelly.

I don't like Ruben.

I only like Clay because he reminds me of Barry Manilow and Barry's my boo.

I liked this video from this year's finale, but it shows the decline in talent on the show.
