Scotty Wins, Nation Lets Out Simultaneous Yawn

Sadly it has happened, after the optimistic side of me leaping for joy thinking that Haley might rejoin the competition in place of Lauren, and Lauren getting all of the buzz and sympathy votes on Tuesday, Scotty has completed what VoteForTheWorst is calling the "Kristy Lee Cook curse". Ever since season seven, Kristy Lee Cook has been their favorite competitor in Idol history. Also, the last four winners have spelled out her name. Kris Allen, Scotty McCreery, Lee Dewyze, and David Cook; or Kris-ty Lee Cook.


Obviously, history will repeat itself, and the runner-up will outsell the winner (Adam and Kris, Crystal and Lee) as Lauren is much more marketable and can crossover styles, unlike Scotty who is all-country all the time. Haley could actually be the highest selling Idol contestant this season, but it could also be Lauren or Pia. Either way, the boys will fail at sales this season. After all, Pia reportedly already has a recording contract and Haley is already done recording her first single.


So, what do you think? Will Scotty actually sell something? Or will the runner-up still sell more than the winner? We'll have to wait and see.
