“American Idol,” a reality-based music singing competition on the Fox Network, has come to an end, and Yankees everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief, as their long, national nightmare is finally over.
Yankees haven’t been whipped this badly since Fredericksburg, and it’s a miracle they allowed the American Idol carnage to continue on as long as it did. All totaled, there were 15 winners of American Idol, which included three from North Carolina, two from Alabama, one from Texas, one from Arkansas, one from Missouri, one from Georgia, one from South Carolina, and one from Mississippi. Eleven of the fifteen winners were proud, Southern singers directly from Dixie. But wait, it gets worse. When you add all the contestants who came in second place, then you have nineteen out of thirty finalists representing the South.
At one point during this final season, five of the Top Six were from Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, and two from Mississippi. In Season 1, the Top Three included two from Texas and one from Georgia.
In Season 2, the Top Three included Alabama, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Seasons 3, 10, 12, and 15 featured an all-Southern finale. In fact, there were only two seasons out of all fifteen that DID NOT have at least one Southerner in the finale.
