I would buy David A's album -- his voice is amazing and at what, 17? can you imagine what his voice will develop into? After last week, I might be convinced to buy Michael Johns album. I also like Syesha at times.
Ok, I love Clay - have bought a couple of his & saw him perform live. He was the Idol winner that year as far as I'm concerned. Reuben should never have won. Back then their phone lines on Idol were even worse. I couldn't register even one vote for Clay. I swear people had somehow blocked out any signals getting thru for him. I further believe that Idol hates to see their Idols fail, so they threw Reuben a bone this year by having him sing the good-bye song. He's ok, but it was his teddy bear personality that got him votes
I also have a Taylor Hicks cd and I bought one of Paris Bennett's cds (also from that season) for my daughter -- there was another young talent.
I would buy Melinda Doolittle's album from last year - she was my favorite
I also bought one or two of the Idol season cds with a song from each of them
I am not a big music buyer, and some of what I have actually were cds sent to a reviewer I know who sells the cds for $1 -- some have never been opened
-- I have found great talents this way before they have become big names
