American Idols Live Can anyone name the contestants from this year’s show? Sure, there was, um, that creepy guy … and a country girl … and that young kid … oh, who cares? Idol winners from reality past are being dropped from their record labels left and right. Inaugural winner Kelly Clarkson seems to have fallen off the map and Daughtry is left alone as one of the sole flag bearers. I’d say it’s just about “jumped the shark.” It’s something hilarious, though, that the tour is sponsored by Pop-Tarts. That joke writes itself! Time Warner Cable Arena (Jeff Hahne)
