Dunno about American Idol, but in the German version ('Germany searches the superstar', w00t!) you usually hear about those "superstars" up to the day they win. Then they drift into obscurity.
Yet there seems to be an endless supply of fools that think they will be superstars, despite their numerous, now forgotten predecessors.
I laugh at them.

Same thing here. Of course, now they're fueled by the "success" of a runner-up a couple of years ago:

Congratulations Taylor Hicks. It was a much deserved win and may you go on the fame he deserves.

I know I wooped and cheered when he won last night

SOUL PATROL! SOUL PATROL! SOUL PATROL!

Frankly, I would have voted him out before the top 10. For some reason the "judges" kept pushing him as the best. I guess they sold everyone on him.

Oh well, If the music industry had to depend on me buying records there would be a no music industry so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Who cares? Look what happened to all the other American Idols. New American Idols replaced them.

None of this really matters since Lordi won Eurovision.

It wasn't that bad. It kind of pulled its punches just when you thought it was about to deliver a big one, but it's still ok.

They had the note on CNN. It's a band in which the members dress like the swamp monster or something. It's kind of amusing and they seem to be having fun.

Finnish metal band that won a song contest in Europe. The other contestants were pop-acts, so naturally this was exciting that they won.

American idol, The X-factor, and every other international varient should just give up. They'll never amount to anything so meh.

Hicks win Idol

NOOOOOOOOO! The hicks are not allowed to win anything. They're hicks. They marry their own cousins! How can they win any kind of idol? If anybody deserves this "idol" you are speaking of, it's the hippies! :p
