American Idol: Favorite American Idol Poll Results

For a couple of weeks, I ran polls asking readers of this blog to vote for their American Idol favorites - winners to fifth placers -  and I'm quite fascinated with the response from everyone. Yes, there were some fan wars here and there but I guess that's pretty inevitable.

Now, from a commercial standpoint, the matter is settled in some of the poll. Ask Chris Daughtry. I mean, nobody has sold more music coming out of a fourth-place finish on American Idol than him. So, I thought the battle is more for the second spot. Or maybe not.

Well, even if some polls turned out to be simply a referendum on who's got the most organized online fan base, one got to admit that this ought to render meaningless amusement. Admit it, polls - no matter how silly - are fun!!

Here are the results:

Wow three winners from season 7! That was probably my favorite season of AI! Lots of talent, comraderie among the contestants..... And I do have to say produced the most talented singer (didn't say popular) in David Archuleta.

Three out of five for me. Not bad. Woohoo! Congrats to your poll (and to those fan wars). :)

You should have Clay Aiken's CD on the side too.

I think Idol is desperately trying to recapture the success of Season 7. It isn't likely to happen because not only was the talent level high, the chemistry and camaraderie amongst the contestants is unmatched by any other season. Besides, there will never be another David Archuleta, the best vocalist to emerge from the show.

DAM THE NATION said...

Anonymous: I will do that.

Katheryn: I agree with the talent level and yes, I can see the chemistry between every single contestant.

Wow...Jason Castro rocks (1st for 4th place). This particularly fanbase didn't even know about this poll and results until today. Seems Jason is doing just fine on his own, with no "fan wars".

DAM THE NATION said...

Flying4JC: Awww. Too bad you didn't know about it. But yeah, he did just fine! :)
