Pick Pickler!

Former American Idol Kellie Pickler has signed a record deal with country label BNA Records and 19 Recordings, the label founded by Idol creator Simon Fuller, the Associated Press reports.

This proves yet another theory of mine!

Why do you need to win American Idol? It seems that the losers are the ones that prosper! Look at Clay Aiken and Bo Bice, What about Chris, he just signed a record deal too! I think that if you make it on the show the real deal is to come in second or third, because then you aren't labeled "the American Idol". You may have been on American Idol but you didn't win it and maybe that's better?
