K-Mo said:I've noticed that, too. I think the songs also seem lame by comparison because they have spent the rest of the season covering what are to be considered standards from all the great singers of the past. Then they have to have thier own song, and it always feels like such a let-down. When you think about it, AI winners don't really go on to be big stars. A lot of them actually get contracts, but they aren't in the spotlight at all, so they are easily forgotten. The fast-track to fame things doesn't really work--they just end up being just another reality TV celbrity, which doesn't seem so neat anymore.
