Syesha Mercado will probably do well on Broadway.

This season though does not have someone who looks like a breakout star like Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, or Fantasia Monique Barrino.

Have not seen much about my favorite from last season's AI-- Melinda Doolittle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Doolittle
