1. > “I had no one. I was the first winner. It was hard. Not to sound like, whatever, it was really hard,” Clarkson said. “People were really mean. People that were really mean have been coaches. You know what I’m saying? Like, hated talent shows. And they ended up being on The Voice.”

   > “It’s like, okay. But people were really cruel at first. They didn’t like it. It took the industry kind of by storm, the talent shows,” she added. “It was a very unlikable thing in the industry concerning the populous.”

2. Them only realistic options here based on timing are Christina, Shakira, Usher, Gwen, and Alicia.

3. Sounds like Xtina

   EDIT: My bad, I have been schooled.

4. Gwen Stephani strikes me as someone who would do that. She started in a “real” band, but is a complete sellout to any kind of punk aesthetic that would separate her from manufactured pop, and was like just starting to be seen that way at the time. I can definitely see her trying to single out someone more manufactured.

   (I actually like Gwen’s music from that era and earlier, I just picture she’d have been shitty like that)

5. Maybe it was Blake Shelton. He seems like an asshole

6. She was too “normal” to be famous so they reminded her of it every step of the way, even though she was more skilled that other “prettier” winners.

7. It was Gwen. Remember when Kelly won the VMA for Since You Been Gone over Hollaback Girl and she said at the mic “Oh I thought this would go to Gwen!” Cut to Gwen giving a pained smile. Seemed barbed.

8. American Idol has always been a televised karaoke show. No real talent. Thanks for listening

9. This is about Gwen Stefani and you can’t tell me otherwise.
