Harry Connick, Jr. and Keith Urban Open Up About the Lack of Diversity of American Idol Winners – “The best person takes it, the person who’s really ready and can go the distance,” Urban tells E! News. “At the end of the day, for me, it keeps coming down to that.” “Of course you have to consider diversity, because the people watching this show are diverse,” Connick tells E!
