Later on, if/when he signs a deal and decides on a certain genre of music, he can then worry about competing with artists from past seasons for sales. FWIW, you could stand on an NYC street corner all day and not meet a person who could name a single song from Michael Johns, or two from David Cook.
Seems odd then that you'd spend so much time firing off opinions (often stated as "fact") on a public forum.
no, you are missing the point. compared the the garbage that were the other 11 guys in the top 24, Lee was good.
this doesn't make Lee a good singer, it makes him the best singer out of a weak group.
I agree he doesn't need to be better than Cook to win AI9, but that doesn't change the fact that Lee is at best an average singer.
You want good singers:
Brandon Boyd. listen to this:

Brandon Boyd is a great singer.
Lee is an average singer that ran hot and got in during a good year on Idol.
I understand your point about him being better than others, but again, he still sucks irl
