Maroulis is better. Said with not even so much as a smirk. He.is.

I hated IA…It was just on and I hear this voice- here comes out this adorable guy, I loved his style his charm, his everything!
Constantine, Is the only one I seen to make the show worth watching…and I still want to see More of him on TV!!

Constantine is gonna be around with or without this list-
Just you wait and see.
Haters – lol well they are scorned woman. Boring, sometimes almost funny, In a sad way.

**Long Live Constantine!***

That comment about Josh Gracin being a disservice to country music; Huh?? I definitely don't get that one. I guess this is just one person's opinion.

Clay Aiken does not belong in 7th place. Especially behind such as Wm Hung or Sanjya who can't even sing. Corey Clark should not be on this list, period.

Well, as I said, all this is just one person's opinion and it seems very slanted.

My vote's for LaToya London. And I disagree with the poster who said she had no stage presence. I was riveted every time she performed! Obviously others thought she had stage presence too, since they hired her to be in The Color Purple.

Of course Constantine should be on the list. He is a better vocalist than the many of the people on your list, and his post-idol career has been better too.

He is the only IDOL from all 6 Seaons that I have bee interested enough in to follow his career or bother to even go to his shows..

He has managed to stay in the Press and make regular TV appearances for a much longer period of time than any other previous IDOLS that did not place in the top 2. He landed a Soap Opera gig and stared in two Broadway shows..

And Constantine is now ranked above Daughtry, Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson. If only the real world agreed with his fanbase – maybe he would have sold more than 20,000 CD's.

Constantine is a Class A entertainer and a saint. The man gives his precious time to charities like the Make A Wish Foundation. He even gives money to homeless people and compliments them on their dancing talents.

The people of Hollywood need to recognize his talent as we his fans do. He needs his own variety show like the Vaudeville acts they had when I was a child.

Please include him in your list of top 20. And Constantine, know that I love you so much. We all know how hard you a working and you just need that one lucky break.

Kisses to you darlin!

Response: Funny, but the gentleman who made the list is the one who kindly opened the discussion and gave people the chance to share their views. He will still make his list as he sees fit, but I find it refreshing that he's at least willing to listen to what he fans want to share and to learn what he has accomplished.

And extra special blessings to those of you who so predictably come to add fuel to the conversation flames. You're such jokers, you silly girls. You're doing a fine job of helping to keep his name front and center by keeping his fans talking and even impersonating some. We all appreciate the dedicated service you offer.

Constantine's performance on AI4 brought a new level of competition to the playing field. But, since you're question implies a list of current significant Idols I'll speak to present accomplishments…as no other Idol has touched so many arenas of entertainment.
Constantine has started his own recording company, Sixth Place Records, and released his first solo debut album, "Constantine," on his own label. To date his album is the highest grossing "true indie" release ever by an Idol, and he did it completely himself maintaining his own artistic identity and showed he is smart in business as well. He has toured Solo both internationally and nationally with several band arrangements and will be touring again this Feb. He has also performed Solo at countless charity benefits…such as his recent singing appearance in LA at the Lili Claire Foundation.
As noted above Constantine played "Sammie" in the Broadway show The Wedding Singer. He also starred Off Broadway in "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well," a challenging and critically acclaimed piece, and astounded audiences with his beautiful vibrant ringing vocals in both. He has been approached by many other shows, Broadway and Off Broadway, as well as touring companies and we'll probably be seeing quite a bit more in the future there. He started a production company, Sixth Place Productions and is currently working on possibly producing a show on Broadway, as well as several other projects.
Constantine has had his own internet Yahoo! Buzz show, and did on camera weekly Idol analysis for GDNY. As also stated above he was in a starring role on the Bold and the Beautiful where they built a new set for his character. He also acted as a judge on MTV's Little Talent Show. He was featured in the highly awarded children's book "Growing Up With Loukoumi" as the voice of Gus the Bear.
Perhaps one of the most important factors in the need for his inclusion in your Idol Top 20 list, should be the charity work Constantine does thru Make a Wish Foundation, Make a Difference, The Autism Society, VSA – Very Special Arts, The Hellenic Times Scholarship Fund, etc.etc.etc. He was recently awarded the Humanitarian Award for Artistic Achievement by the HTSF for being a role model for youth to strive toward their artistic and scholastic goals.
No other Idol has come close to the diverse accomplishments of Constantine in my opinion… thank you for you time :)~nc
