I remember World Idol so clearly. Of course Kelly was going to win, she's astonishingly talented. And then this sweet, magical little man from Norway gets up to sing. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I remember voting for him and hoping people wouldn't be shallow - that their votes would be based on talent, not looks or geography. I was BEYOND THRILLED when Kurt won. Still my favourite male vocalist of all time.

I remember this so well. Kurt was amazing and I am very certain that because he won there hasn't been another World Idol. Kelly Clarkson was marketed like crazy back then and coming in second to a Norwegian plumber must've pissed off her management (i.e. Cowell) big time! But that's what you get for letting an audience vote... ;-)
@dkblack3461

I remember thinking no one could beat Kelly, but then this guy started singing. Her sour-grapes face when he won is classic. Kelly's very good in technique, but I've always thought her vocals were a little lacking in emotion. Belting everything isn't the same as having soul. That's her biggest shortcoming as a singer. That and she has no low register.

But as an example of what I was talking about, I heard this Christmas song of hers this year, can't remember which one, and she made it such a production with the high belting that it just sounded ridiculous. Like, we get it. You have a powerful voice. Every single song doesn't have to show it off, and some songs actually call for a certain measure of restraint.
