The show is a competition in which viewers can call in and vote on contestants to determine the best "undiscovered" young singer in the United States, with the winner receiving a major record deal, although some runners-up have achieved enough fame to ink record deals of their own.

 American Idol
American Idol is not about longevity in the music business.

But I digress.....the shark made this show it's BITCH when FAUX announced that Kelly as the winner of this talent show (and it IS just a talent show) would be given the honor of singing "The National Anthem" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the Sept. 11 Ceremonies.

Last year's final two, winner Fantasia Barrino and runner-up DeGarmo, have used "Idol" as a launching pad for albums and concert tours; the previous season's finalists, winner Ruben Studdard and second-place finisher Clay Aiken, each had best-selling debut albums.
First season champ Kelly Clarkson has lasted longer than many critics thought she would, hitting the top 10 recently with the Max Martin-produced song "Since U Been Gone." However, her co-finalist, Justin Guarini, has struggled, having been dropped by his label after his first album sold poorly.
