Why do they keep making more American Idol?


I mean, there has been 9 full seasons and I couldn't tell you half of the winners. The three most popular people to come from this show are Kelly Clarckson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry (and Daughtry didn't even win, he came in 4th). What happened to all the others? Apparently, winning this major competition that millions of people vote on every week doesn't instantly make you a super star. What happened to Ruben Studdard or Fantasia Barrino or Taylor Hicks (I had to look those names up)? Millions of people voted for them and William Hung got more press than any of them. I know more about Paula Abdul allegedly sleeping with one of the contestants than I do about any of the contestants themselves. I just can't believe that people still watch this show or even want to be on it. I remember a time when I was waiting tables and I was told by a married man that I needed to get his families' meals out quickly so that HE could go home and watch American Idol.  What has this country come to? Shouldn't he be having a beer and watching the game or catching up on the days news? Not watching this people try to make something of themselves by covering the songs of singers with actual talent. Maybe I'm alone in all of this but I highly doubt it.
