Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Why not “American Idol?” Not artistic enough? Pshaw, we say. Do we really need to debate the musical merits of “Hollaback Girl”? Besides, Season 1 “Idol” champion Kelly Clarkson won a few Grammys on Wednesday. So all bets are off. Let’s take a look at some of Wednesday’s Grammy performers and compare them to past Idolites.
TRUE IDOLS
Kelly Clarkson
Top of the food chain. A real show-stopper.
Fantasia Barrino
Pretty good. The bathroom break can wait.
SO-SO
Diana DeGarmo
Sweet and forgettable.
John Stevens
Be thankful this person can tie his or her shoes.
DON’T EVEN
Mikalah Gordon
Is that an air raid siren?
William Hung
Absolutely the best of the worst.
