...competition, but she would also outsell all previous “Idol” winners. The next three years made Cowell appear remarkably astute. As Ruben Studdard and Fantasia Barrino fell by the wayside, and Kelly Clarkson grappled with artistic—and perhaps just general—confusion, Underwood??s first two albums established her as Nashville’s leading female star. With a string of country number-ones and an uncontroversial personal life, Underwood??s was verily an unqualified success story...

They also noticed the look of disgust on Summers’ face while he was on-stage and even while he was watching the acts perform—that is, the acts to which he paid any attention at all. It should not come as any surprise though, that Summers was uncomfortable on Saturday. With only a few exceptions, every performer was wearing a green ribbon in support of ethnic studies...
