AMERICAN IDOL - THE FINAL SEASON

Same if it is Dalton.  Please just show him respect. Let him sing one song. Show his hometown then bye. There is no reason to be cruel.  None.

I am going to be sick with worry about Mac and Dalton.

Well, I am sick about it but prepared because I know it is Mac.....  Anywhere you read the overwhelming feeling is it is Mac going.  He is the only one that got picked on by the judges.  He sang early on.  And everyone feels no way it will LaP or Trent and since Dalton got the pimp spot and the emotional song with good feedback - kinda obvious it will be Mac.... 

But he got his hometown visit which was a big success and a song on iTunes so hopefully he can just be really proud of himself and thrilled with the experiences he has had.

When you think of all the really strong voices in the top 24 - real powerhouse females - he has to feel really good that he was able to hang in there so close to the end.  With Olivia and Tristan and Sonika and Avalon - I just didn't know how it would go for him.

So for the most part I am pleased for him.  Obviously I would love for him to get the win and have all his dreams come true.....  but lots of talented peeps this season.  He might have won last season over Nick.

FC, I feel that way about both Mac and Dalton. I actually have thought about the fact that either of them could have beaten Nick.  

While very different they both have incredible talents. 

Now I have gone and started liking Trent.

Exactly.  Very different but very talented in their own ways.  And I love that they are friends and roomies.

Oh, I am very grateful for Trent!!! He is what will get me through Mac leaving Thursday night because I really feel that guy is an amazing vocalist who deserves the win!

Now, if LaPoodle wins I swear I will cry!!  With so many better people to be the last Idol and she wins??  I think I will puke!!

And again, that is nothing against the lady herself.  She seems like a total sweetheart.  But I feel she has been pimped and pushed on us to be the winner because for some reason they want the final winner to be female and I guess a black female.  Not sure why since Candice was a complete and total bust  

Trent, Dalton and Mac all seem to have a better shot at success after the show than she does.   I do not get it at all...

Some surprises in there. Yeah Adam. Yeah Daughtry.

Indeed!  I was surprised for sure by some of them!!

Let's hope that Mac and Dalton can join that millionaire club after the show!!      I think Trent will too.

Yes surprised that Elliot is so high and no Taylor or Hayley.

You have to start at 33 and go backwards.  Taylor is there - worth 3.5 million.

But no Haley.

Elliott at $6,000,000.00!!  Wonder if he had some good investments or something.

BTW, Scotty and his label have parted ways.

Jason is now flipping houses besides singing with his siblings.

The Castro Band was just signed to .

The article said that Elliot is very popular overseas like David Hasselhoff. I think he and Blake Lewis have worked together.

Who knew Kate. Never would have queried Elliot was popular over seas. Has he even come out with new music?

Looks like Elliott has a huge following in Japan. Just released an exclusive album there in 2015.

Thanks for posting that link FC.  Kris and David Cook even at 5 million net worth.  So of winners it goes, Carrie, Kellie, Jordan, Kris/David then Philip and the others.  So Kris is not such a failure after all,(I knew he wasn't a failure but soooooooooooooooo many people were saying he was the poorest of the winners and not making any money blah blah blah.  He as well as Cook are over the other winners,(Philip, Scotty, Fantasia, Ruben, Taylor, Candace, Lee,(who is not on the list), Caleb,(not on the list) and Nick,(who is also not on the list).  So maybe this shows that people have been wrong about him and should give him some credit for once.  

I always knew Elliot was popular overseas.  I continue to read that he keeps making special cd's for overseas.

The one I am shocked to see on the list is William Hung.  The man is a brainiac so he for used his 15 minutes of fame wisely. I am also shocked to see no Mandisa on this list. She has been just as successful as Colton and even won a Grammy so do not get why she is not on the list.

So for AI 5 seven of them top 10 are millionaires.  
Daughtry, Taylor, Kat, Elliott, Ace, Pickles, Bucky.

Yes, season 5 was a good season!!

Phillip doesn't have as much YET.  He is newer with only 2 albums out.  He is starting a summer tour very soon and with another CD out soon he will make more.

Scotty - just never took off as huge as I thought he would be.  But he is still doing really well, a millionaire,  got his degree and is still super young.  He will make more.

I had no idea Elliott was so big overseas!  Good for him!  Love his voice and his first CD.  I wonder if Amazon has any of the others??  Such a nice man too. So happy for him!

Since Adam is the richest of the male Idols by far I would say that being successful overseas is pretty damn good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and how could Nick be on the list?  Too new and not even a full album out yet or a solo tour.  No way to make much money.

Phillip is coming to their casino in Hampton this summer and we all are going.  Can't wait.

Okay I can see it for Nick but what about Caleb? Candace is on there and from all accounts her cd tanked. It must not of tanked that hard and she doesn't look to be so bad off if she made the list of the 33 richest idols.

Shannon

Oh I think Caleb's album tanked harder than Candice's!!  And Candice took a year off from all things music/show business. Wise investments? 

You know, it is their net worth.  Some of these Idols no doubt made good investments etc. and that has a lot to do with it.  Ruben owns a successful restaurant.  William Hung has a great job (he is brilliant) and no doubt some of that money he made on his own career other than Idol. Some make money writing songs for other artists.  Kat's money is more from acting than music.  And so on.

I listened to some of Elliott's songs. Voice is good but I fon't like the drum beat, clap as its so repetive and unoriginalut the Japanese seem to eat it up.

Top 4 Facebook chat this afternoon..............

Trent and Dalton are very natural in front of cameras.

Where was Ace on the list? I saw Diana but not Ace.

Shannon

Angel, that link is weird.  It seems to show different people different times.  But the first time I look it did have Ace on there.  I will look again later and if he shows up I will post it.


I will try to watch that chat later when MaKayla is eating lunch.

Ace was there when I looked but not Bucky but Kate saw Bucky.
