My apologies (hides from flying tomatoes)... I forgot about David Cook, who was the best that season. However, that only makes 3 of 8 winners that make sense, which is not a good bating average to me. Carrie, David, and Kelly were the best of their respective seasons, but could the same be said for Ruben, Fantasia, Taylor, Jordin, and now Kris?

I'm willing to bet that while Kris may have some success in the next few years, Adam is going to pull a Clay and surpass him in record sales.
