The Fall Of American Idol?

Recently, as you may have heard three American Idol stars have been dropped by their record labels. These three were Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee. It's no surprise really when you think that all 3 have had relatively poor success. I think the biggest loss is Kat, she had real star quality if you ask me, I think the other two had a novelty factor, but thats just my opinion.

However, with Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry and even Clay Aiken still going fairly strong I think the Idol franchise is still strong. Even last years winner Jordin Sparks and runner-up Blake Lewis have had underwhelming sales, but that is probably because the music industry is having a tough time anyway.

But what do you think? Has Idol had it's day? Is it time for something new?
