I was wondering the other day. What would have happened had Justin Guarini won the first American Idol? Would Clarkson's career be as hot it has become? Would American Idol have any credibility whatsoever. I mean Clarkson is really the only one of any of the winners who has actually beome bigger than the show itself. You almost forget that she had anything to do with Idol. Whenever you see any of the other winners (or runners up in the case of Clay Akin) they are always introduced with a reference to American Idol, but do you even think about the show anymore when it comes to Clarkson. By the way I just want to throw in that I have never seen a full episode of American Idol. Anyway, had Guarini won would people still watch? If Clarkson had come second would she had blown up as big as she has? Would the movie had been called From Kelly To Justin? The thing is a Guarini win would have been a much better setup for the rest of that show. It would have given us the correct expectations. Instead people were smart the first time and picked an actual superstar. Clarkson, as far as I can tell, has been the only real winner of what that show was supposed to be. The rest just were just part of a glorified community talent show.
