Just a highlight - read the rest at the link:


When it comes to the top 10 finalists of American Idol, we suffer from selective amnesia.

"Who's Scott Savol?" we ask. "I don't know anybody named Scott Savol."

Then someone will remind us that he was the round, shifty-eyed crooner we once spent hours debating and voting for or against. Yes, Scott Savol once was a huge factor in our lives. Then, one day, poof! All memories of him were erased.

Taylor Hicks

While on the Idol tour, he's been known to moonlight with his old band, the Little Memphis Blues Orchestra, at small venues across the country. That's a relief; too many renditions of cover tunes could rob him of his soul. His new CD, which comes out later this year, will be the true test of his staying power.

Prediction: After the hype settles, his career levels off to become one that wins critical acclaim but little tabloid attention. And don't miss the duel of the century: Soul Patrol vs. Claymates, spring 2009!

Ace Young

Constantine 2.0 is busy writing and working on an album (you can hear a single, “Scattered,” on http://myspace.com/aceyoung), but the future is cloudier than it should have been. What went wrong? Four words: He showed his scar. That cheesy moment on Idol cost him much-needed votes and even-more-needed respect. It’s hard to come back from a stunt like that. But not impossible.

Prediction: After a bar brawl (which may have been set up by his publicist in an effort to toughen his image), Ace has a Top 40 hit and marries…oh, we’ll say Jessica Simpson. They record a duet but turn down offers for an MTV reality show.

I still don't understand how anyone can compare Ace to Constantine. To me, they're completely different, except for maybe the hair? :shrug:
