I don't think so! Idol is just losing some of their winners. Looks like Katherine Mcphee, Ruben Studdard, and Taylor Hicks all got dropped from their labels due to lackluster sales.
Katherine McPhee released her self titled album and has only sold 250,000 copies. Her three singles failed to enter the top twenty. Katherine is sexy with a decent voice but I think the record company did not market her well. They had her touring with Andrea Bocelli? She's not adult contemporary at all. They should have had her touring with Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, or even Pink.
Ruben Studdard released 3 albums selling only 2.4 million with all three albums. His singles don't get played and his record company failed to showcase him as the next Levert.
Taylor Hicks was the odd winner for American Idol but the silver haired blues guy had charisma and a voice that was sure to take him to the top. Unfortunately America was sold on Taylor with votes but didnt support buying his CD. Taylor is the only American Idol winner not to have sold a million copies on a debut CD.
What is this saying? Is American Idol losing steam? Naw, I predict record breaking viewing numbers on Fox tonight!
