[edit] Aikenmania
I removed this:
- Despite relative success, many in the media and general public have remarked at his stardom's brevity, in comparison to runner-up Aiken.
It sounds very much like the words of a boastful Clay Aiken fan, and really have no place in an encyclopedia article. --b. Touch 11:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Minor Edit
Replaced the "Fall 2005" with "Spring 2006?" for his next CD release because it is not on the radar for a release this fall at this time (not sure what happened there). But rather than just remove it for now I added the question mark. Michigan user 19:45, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Soulful Sales
The ClackHouse (A Clay Aiken board) reports in their Spin Cycle on comparative artists that "Soulful sales to date: 1,773,972 copies sold (Soundscan confirmed total through 3 July 2005; 1,761,291 copies sold through 2 January 2005)." http://www.theclackhouse.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=498 Michigan user 17:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What is the relavance?
How is the fact that Studdard and Fantasia Barrino are the only black contestants ever to win relevant? There have only been 5 seasons therefore "only" should not apply. It can't be equal because there have been an odd number of seasons.
i find it irrelevant. kelly clarkson was the first white chick to win, and clay aiken the first redhead. big deal.
The first male and the first black! Totally irrelevant, I'm removing it. 209.191.208.248 03:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Birmingham's Musical Prowess
There is a paragraph drawing a conclusion that Birmingham must be wonderful musically because American Idol contestants live there. Birmingham residents' attraction to a game show doesn't exactly reinforce this thesis. Anyway I think the writer might want to reword it or explain it. 207.237.129.183 02:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Residents are equally attracted to audition for American Idol nationwide. What's different about Birmingham is how many top Idol finishers it has produced. Wasted Time R 02:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Urban"
In the charts section, what is the "Urban" section referring to? Is this an official Billboard chart (to my knowledge, it is not) or some original research that someone did? In the latter case, I think it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.153.245.108 (talk) 22:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- In the past, I've kind of suspected it was bogus. Wasted Time R (talk) 22:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
