the problem with “this Idol is going to be better than that Idol” is that AI sets everybody up to be a SINGER and we, the audience and fans, can’t let go that they are singers….look at that girl Julie Fuentes….she’s in the circus and loving it! Jennifer Hudson is an actress and loving it! So these idols don’t have to be SINGERS. They can make as much money, and get as much fame being an actress, an endorser, a spokesmodel….I look forward to seeing them all do other things besides singing.
I see Jordin as a Lane Bryant model….I betcha she announces before the end of the year she’s endorsing somebody’s clothing line. She’s a great looking model.

I tend to agree that they both could do better than Kat and Taylor, even though they don’t seem to have rabid AI fanbases (well Blake does, kinda). The AI fanbase is only part of the story. Those 2 fit more on the larger landscape, so with good songs they each could catch on. Good luck to them!

I tend agree with Mj in the fact that Jordin and Blake will outsell Taylor and Kat. Easily.

They both are young and cute and will make radio friendly music perfect for Top 40. Young fans love them.
I don’t think Jordin will do Carrie or Kelly Clarkson numbers, but she will be fine. She is so much better than Kat.
And Blake could be the Daughtry of the season, I hear his music is going to impress a lot of people and is perfect for Top 40 stations. That will sure help him a lot. I could be wrong though, but only time will tell.
I think both will be very successful.

WhatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s her audience anyway? Other than the Disney crowd, I canÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think of one.

Well considering I hear her song all the time on our local Top 40 station, I’d say her audience is anyone that listens to that format. I still don’t really understand why people have a tendency to pigeonhole her as Disney. I mean, yes Jordin is young and fresh-faced, and “Tattoo” is definitely clean and cutesy, but the song has the right sound for pop radio. It doesn’t sound like Kidz Bop.

People like me will end up buying Jordin’s music not for myself but for my girls. I personally love what Jordin represents. To me she seems to be a sweet, likeable girl who loves and respects her parents; a girl that has some decent morals (wow what a concept!); someone who is not obseesed with being a size 2 and is quite comfortable with herself. Those of us with young children – especially girls – appreciate people like Jordin because they are few and far between.

Let’s see if she even gets that 500K Clive said every Idol winner gets. However, Jordin does have the ability to make radio friendly music and get new fans neither of which Taylor was able to do. It’ll be interesting to see how she does. She’s a lovely girl and that will help her on TV, interview etc. It would hurt Idol to have two subpar winners in a row though.

What!? She’s only 17!!?? :jittery_tb: She’s writing songs!? Color me surprised.. :jittery_tb: hmy_tb:

What’s her audience anyway? Other than the Disney crowd, I can’t think of one. She needs to tap into that market as much as she can. It’s really not that a big deal to outsell Taylor Hicks, but I’m not convinced she will… :mellow_tb:
