Only exceptions I could think of would be Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson...

That's why I said exceptions. They did better then the runner ups.

Most do better than the runner ups. David Cook is better than Archuleta, I think Kriss Allen is more popular than Adam Lambert. But it's inconclusive.

So I got my boots on, and the right amount of leather, and I'm doing me up with a black colored liner... That song was stuck in my head since before I saw this post.

It's all based on opinion I guess. I prefer a couple of the runner ups to the winners, but others (Cook, Underwood) deserved to win.

I just went to an Adam Lambert concert last night and went to a Kris Allen one a few monthes ago. Adam is deffinatly doing better plus he's is a much better live prefomer.

Deffinatly? That is one of the worst spellings of 'definitely' that I have ever seem. Typical for someone who likes Lambert.

Thank you! The season with them annoyed me so much, because most girls my age were in love with David Archuletta, but I liked David Cook. And now most of them have forgotten about Archie, but I still like David Cook.

Kris Allen was so average. And I think Clay Aiken is more successful than Ruben Studdard. Well how could he not? I mean we never heard about Ruben after that.

What about Fantasia?

Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, and David Cook (winners) have done better than the runner ups of their seasons. Clay Aiken, Katherine McPhee, and Adam Lambert have done better than the winners. So, winners have actually done better. We'll just have to see about last season, DeWyze or Bowersox.

I agree. Adam lambert is doing really well, better than Kris Allen. I saw Adam Lambert in concert once, he can sing and put on a great show.

I think what they do is make it so the runner-up is the better of the two. The judges know that the runner-up will be able to get their own record deal without the help of American Idol and the winner wins because they probably wouldn't move further on in the music industry without being labeled as the American Idol winner.
