  Kelly, Carrie and Daughtry will be always be associated with American Idol. They wouldn ‘t be where they are at, without that cheesy show. No one is taking anything away from them as artist and singers, because all of them are very talented. AMA’s invited Adam because he is the hottest thing coming out of American Idol and he will put on an OTT performance. Practically everyone there is going to be a bigger star than Adam, but not too many will be as talented. I think it’s great all of them are going to be there, I just wish David Cook could perform.

  Bridgette12, I agree. Talk to any HAC program director and they will tell you that AI is one of the main “farm clubs” for the format. It is dominated by Kelly, Daughtry, Cook, and Jordin, with plenty of Carrie & Elliott thrown in. I’m confident Adam & Kris will do well there too. Archie also has a presence there. Kelly, Daughtry & Jordin do really well on CHR. Idol is a legitimate spawning ground for recording artists, despite the negativity often associated with the franchise. I too wish David Cook was performing, and perhaps they’ll add him. I was at the taping of the Underwood holiday special and he just brought the house down. Which brings me to one of the many things I admire about Cook: he has made the decision NOT to distance himself from Idol & Fremantle in the hopes of gaining rock cred. He embraces it and his relationship with the hand that fed him.

  I guess I understand why Cook isn’t on the AMA roster, since he hasn’t won an AMA in the past. But Jordin won last year and I think it stinks she’s not included. She’s had quite a few CHR hits and her debut album did go platinum. She’s got a hot single out right now.

  How many seats have been empty lately? Has he been unable to even fill half the seats? I’m not a fan of him but I’m just wondering.
