Idol Stats
May 12th, 2005
Just because i like the idol stats, let me post an observation. Now that we are in season 4, we have 12 “top 3″ finalsists in idol history. 10 out of 12 have been from the southeast-ish region of the country – pretty damn significant odds if you ask me.
the two exceptions are justin guarini (from PA, and look where he is now) and jasmine trias (from HI- currently singing in the phillipines.) Neither of them was particularly fab, though neither was nikki mckibben who was from this region and is emceeing karaoke night in the lone star state. Despite the mckibben, it seems to be that if you want to breed an idol, move south. and particularly to these front running states, both with two reps as of season four:
TX (kelly and nikki)
NC (clay and fantasia)
AL (ruben and bo)
(i know, mckibben should only count as like half, but kelly makes up her slack in representing TX)
and for a refresher, other top 3 finalists and their states:
carrie – OK
vonzell – FL
diana – GA
kim locke – TN

Do not know if there is truth to this but saw this on the IDOL site:
Nigel Lythgoe was on a Fox station promoting the American Dance Idol Show. He spilled the beans about what Bo and Carrie would be doing for their “Judges Choice” songs next week.
Bo-I Can’t Get No Satisfaction (Stones) Don’t know which judge picked it.
Carrie-I Feel Like A Woman (Shania Twain) picked by Randy I think he said.
*sigh* If it is true then that will bore me to tears- sorry.

I read in an american idol tv guide during last season that shania, who owns all the rights to her songs, refused to let them be sung on idol. Perhaps her views changed, though, or perhaps, shania likes carrie and made an exception…i dunno. we’ll see though – thanks for the scoop!
