Will watch for them now!

Actually, I saw Kris’ (post-Idol) Ford commercials on the Olympics several times. They are indeed being played on other networks and shows like any other Ford commercial.

They are indeed being played on other networks and shows like any other Ford commercial. Taylor Hicks' commercials were played everywhere too (excessively, and I <em>like</em> Taylor). But yeah, the ones made for the show stay on the show.

I heard him on the radio this week end. He so deserves it. I hope Elliot Yamin is now among the decent earners as well. I heard him on the radio this week end. He so deserves it.

This is all very interesting. Did we ever find out what the Top 10 made for the AI tour?

A penny saved is a penny earned, right? Hahaha. Kris seems to be particularly stingy. So, I'd say he's filthy rich!!! :) I’m actually more interested in knowing what they spend all that money on.

I know Kelly also did a Ford commercial but it was several years after she won. Thanks ggdoorsfan! Thats interesting they mention their albums being a main source of the money they made. I didnt think artists got much from those. I think season 5 and now season 8 were the only years where there was a Ford commercial featuring a winner.

So the $ the winners make is small change compared to them. I figured Kris got the Ford gig because he won Idol. Other past winners have done similiar commercials. They must like him though because he's done a bunch of different ones. Well, Ryan just signed a contract for 45mil and God knows what Simon is making this year.
