It is one of the ironies that one of the ultimate insults of Simon Cowell on "American Idol" was to call someone "too Broadway", or "too cabaret". So where have some of those people ended up? On Broadway, though usually in pop or rock shows. I don't think anyone there has ended up in a traditional Broadway book show as of yet -- Mostly "Hair", "Jeckyl and Hyde" or "Rock of Ages" or "Grease", until Carrie Underwood's "Sound of Music". I'd actually love to see Melinda Doolittle or Elliot Yamin do something with some Broadway jazz - with Gershwin or Rodgers and Hart for example.

Fantasia in The Color Purple. I was actually looking forward to seeing Bo Bice in Pump Boys and Dinettes because he doesn't belt! It's too bad Doolittle isn't more well known because she could fit in After Midnight.
