I don't think she will be successful in time. But who knows.
I'm not sure if Anthony's single should be hailed as the more successful single of all time etc, the figured are probably based on units shipped, not sold, and after the hype around his performance of the song on the show, it isn't surprising that that many units were ordered etc.
I am much less interested in Idol this year, I'm not sure if I will get into it or not. Depends what else there is to do while it is on I guess.
