Both "American Idol" and "Pop Idol" got very lucky with their first winners. Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson gave Idol tremendous legitimacy. And the very first Idol winner of all -- the UK's Will Young -- proved Idols could have genuine careers, with at least three best-selling albums under his belt.
Young has also appeared in film and now gets a very strong review from the Evening Standard for his performance on stage in Noel Coward's "The Vortex." If I'm lucky, it'll come to London and I can check it out.
