Arguably the most popular TV show to date, American idol can truly claim to have at least added a significant deal to the luster of reality television. Currently in its sixth season, the show boasts of being able to produce Award winning artists. And not just music award-winning artists but even big shot acting award-winning artists. The likes of pop sensation Kelly Clarkson, R & B favorite Fantasia, and the most recent Grammy winner of the bunch, country crooner Carrie Underwood, were all ‘Idols.’ And, how can we forget that one of this year’s Academy Award nominees for Best Supporting Actress is none other than seventh placer Jennifer Hudson. All these artists began their quick climb to the top by taking that first Idol step. Yet, despite this seemingly stellar track record, American Idol today is not without its numerous detractors.
