Okay, that makes sense! If those fans of his are Idol watchers from earlier seasons, that's what they would come to expect. Then, season 10 comes along with the top two being close in age, in the same genre, and signed to the same label. ( I'm so relieved she's no longer with the label they didn't want her signed with from the outset!)
I don't get it......I think Lauren, and fans like myself, think of the creative arts as a place of abundance, plenty of success to go around. And, no question, he's had plenty of success.....multiple residences...a life of leisure...and songs that go to #1, but let something good happen for Lauren, and they throw a fit.
