American Idol: Season 2 Rewind

Click here for American Idol: Season 1 Rewind

Season one of American Idol arrived with little fanfare, it's series premiere garnering a pedestrian 10 million viewers. Once January of 2003 came along, American Idol was a monumental hit, the season premiere pulling in a monster 27 million viewers. American Idol was no one season wonder, and its second season solidified its place as television's number one show. It's conceivable that a sophomore slump for American Idol, if the talent wasn't there or if FOX tinkered too much with the formula, might have made audiences sour on the series. It's not as if the series was a slam dunk coming into the season. For one, the second season aired in the Spring as opposed to the first season's Summer run, and therefore competed against all the big prime-time shows for the first time. Fears were likely allayed once the premiere aired with those 27 million viewers, and it laid the ground work for the formula and format that Idol has used in each subsequent Idol season.

I don't watch the show, but season 2 seems the worst to me, if only because you're left with the unholy duo of Ruben and Clay at the end. Who cares about either of them?

Personally, season 2 was one of my favorites. I love Ruben and Kimberly Locke.

I think this reality tv shows all season is very good but season 2 is my favorite.This season also remained mired in controversies due to the inefficiency of phone voting system. The phone system failed to take that much load and over 150 million votes were dropped. That’s why, in third season voting system was changed.
