Just because i like the idol stats, let me post an observation. Now that we are in season 4, we have 12 “top 3″ finalsists in idol history. 10 out of 12 have been from the southeast-ish region of the country – pretty damn significant odds if you ask me.
the two exceptions are justin guarini (from PA, and look where he is now) and jasmine trias (from HI- currently singing in the phillipines.) Neither of them was particularly fab, though neither was nikki mckibben who was from this region and is emceeing karaoke night in the lone star state. Despite the mckibben, it seems to be that if you want to breed an idol, move south. and particularly to these front running states, both with two reps as of season four:
TX (kelly and nikki)
NC (clay and fantasia)
AL (ruben and bo)
(i know, mckibben should only count as like half, but kelly makes up her slack in representing TX)
and for a refresher, other top 3 finalists and their states:
carrie – OK
vonzell – FL
diana – GA
kim locke – TN
