			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes it is a strange title, but I have been thinking allot about how things are connected. It all came about when Faith Hill reacted to losing to Carrie Underwood. For those of you who do not know she was the 2005 winner of American Idol. That&#8217;s when it hit me, how is it possible that the last five seasons of American Idol winners have been from different categories.</p>
<p>Season 1 &#8211; Kelly Clarkson &#8211; pop star<br />
Season 2 &#8211; Ruben Studdard &#8211; R &amp; B Star<br />
Season 3 &#8211; Fantasia Barrino &#8211;  Hip Hop / R &amp; B Star<br />
Season 4 &#8211; Carrie Underwood &#8211; Country Star<br />
Season 5 &#8211; Taylor Hicks &#8211; Rock Star</p>
<p>Five different winners and five different types of music, causing each of the winners to never compete. The process of the show makes it seem like they are looking for the best voice talent. In a way that is probably true, to a certain point of view.</p>
<p>That leaves me to believe that the end results are pre-determined, which also leaves me to believe Americans are somehow being manipulated. It&#8217;s not hard most of the results are  determined by the &#8220;Judges&#8221; who profit greatly from the winners.</p>
<p>Only in America.<br />
In my next blog I will explain, why this is bad and what we can do about it.</p>
<p>Till next time,<br />
