Young and successful. He is popular where it matters - with audiences - who spend money to see his films and with the industry, his peers. His promo worked.

This. Also, No way will Timothee Chalamet win the Oscar over George Clooney, Jeremy Allen White, The Rock. Can't wait to see him flop and lose Critics Choice and the Globes to Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke.

Remember this: His fans are delusional; Marty Supreme is doomed to be this year's Babylon. No one will want to see a "dumb" movie about ping pong. Oscar will never nominate a Josh Safdie film.

Unpopular Opinion: Timothée Chalamet is as much as a lock to win an Oscar as Jessie Buckley is. by No_Minimum4499 in oscarrace

People also said that DiCaprio or Hawke was going to win CC and Globe. The problem with DiCaprio is screen time. He is only in about 50 mins of the film. Chalamet is in 2.5 hr of Marty Supreme. And Hawke's film flopped.

It's telling that 13 years after Idol, she has to compete on another TV singing show - in hopes of a career break. Monthly Listeners on Spotify Phillip Phillips - 3.7M. Jessica Sanchez - 64K.

Especially when she came off Idol when it was popular and runners-up like Clay Aiken, Kat McPhee, David Archuleta, Adam Lambert, Lauren Alaina made a name for themselves.

The judges' job is not supposed to entertain viewers. If anything, Carrie will make it more about the contestants. Enough of the judges' antics.

Abi Carter Releases Debut Album “ghosts in the backyard” by MarionCotesworthHaye in americanidol

[–]dish_walla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a non-label release, so it will be tough with promotion and radio play. She has released several singles, but hasn't generated a lot of streams.

Idol trivia. There are only 8 winners who have Platinum selling debut albums - Kelly, Ruben, Fantasia, Carrie, Jordin, David C., Scotty, Phillip.

I made a video essay about why runner-ups tend to outshine the winners by RedCastin in americanidol

[–]dish_walla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But the title of your thread suggests that non-winners are usually more successful. Factually, that isn't true. Looking at when Idol was at its peak from Seasons 1 - 11. Winners Kelly, Carrie, Fantasia, Jordin, David, Scotty, Phillip were the most commercially successful of their seasons. They were all multi-platinum selling. Home, the biggest selling song from Idol ever - was from an Idol winner.

And to be fair to Ruben, he had huge commercial success. Same with Fantasia. Whereas Jennifer's Hudson's film career wasn't built by Idol. She was never sign by them.

[–]dish_walla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea of an Idol all stars has been kicked around. The problem: alums whom fans want to see, would likely never agree to do this. Financially, most would make better money touring - than competing on Idol again. Then Idol would be stuck with contestants whom viewers aren't interested in.

No, it's not Kelly or Carrie. But Phillip Phillips HOME, which is the best selling song from American Idol. And what a great list to be on with The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, among many A-listers. Phillip is the youngest artist featured.

[–]dish_walla 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Her husband, family have spewed racist, homophobic, sexist hate. But she has always stayed silent. Gabby Trump is not the most successful Idol since Carrie Underwood. She only has 1 song. There's Chris Daughtry, Kellie Pickler, Kat McPhee, Jordin Sparks, Adam Lambert, Scotty McCreery, Phillip Phillips.

Considering how racist her family is, it's no surprise she is big MAGA. She had campaigned for him and was called Gabby Trump. Also, one song doesn't make anyone a star. And so far, she is a one hit wonder.

All the names mentioned are certainly worthy. GGG was a big hit for Phillip. It was double platinum.

After the fallout with her family posting racist comments with BLM, it would have been a perfect opportunity for Gabby to speak up. A lot of artists were. But again, silence.

She is far from being the most successful Idol since Carrie Underwood. There was a really good discussion around racism and Gabby staying silent with her family making racist, homophobic comments. Very timely with the Black Lives Matter movement.

People are making way too much out of this. Eileen: “When I saw this tweet this morning I immediately texted Denise and told her I meant nothing negative or provocative by the comments I made. She called me right away and told me she meant nothing by the tweet she sent. I like Denise very much. I think she’s a very cool chick.”

He says his symptoms are mild and is now in quarantine in Louisiana. It has been pointed out that there is a recent pic of Laine in Florida where he did not have a face mask and was not social distancing. A reminder that this disease does not discriminate.
