I agree. I mean, that is part of Idol too. I do think all the top ones ARE great writers but great talent ISN'T enough to win Idol. You also have to meet deadlines. There are LOTS of really great writers who have gone out.

I agree that time management and making something a priority is a big part of doing well in Idol.

So you think that the person who wins is almost MORE likely to be someone in a relationship and/or someone who does also have kid(s)? Hm...

Idol is kind of like college. You can be smart as anything and flunk out. You still need to make it to tests on time, complete papers on time, do papers in the right format and turn them in on time, etc.
