Down the road, maybe the winner has to worry about competing with the people you've mentioned in terms of record sales.
FWIW, no one outside of David Cook's family could name two of his songs, so I'm rather certain citing him as some type of all time success story is utterly idiotic
first off, i said on this season, he's above average.
however, someone said "he's not garbage" i'm saying, yes, in fact, he is garbage.
if you compare him to contemporary singers, like Brandon Boyd, Lee is garbage. If you compare him to great idol performers like Carrie, Kelly, Tamara, both David's and even someone like Bo, Lee is garbage.
so comparing him to others that have gone through the same show as him is completely fair. It's not like i'm comparing him to ppl on Hell's Kitchen.
