I just realized why Jordin Sparks gets on my nerves so much. She reminds me of Taylor Hicks' worst personality traits.
First of all, she mugs for the camera -- have you ever seen a picture of her when she looks calm? No, she's raising her eyebrows or grinning like the Cheshire Cat or doing some do-dah thing with her fingers. Second, her fake tears are every bit as obnoxious as Taylor's "soul patrol!" and her teeny-bopper act is the equivalent of his soul singer persona.
While both of them have voices, their personalities are what sold them on viewers, and what will quickly wear just as thin. By contrast, the two Idol winners who have done the best -- Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood -- didn't have "personalities" on the show. Only later did they craft them. While Chris Daughtery isn't anything but a rocker, he was wise enough to pick his lane, stick to it, and regroup after losing. My prediction: we'll get sick of her fast just as did of Taylor.
