Read many an 'American Idol' article, and you'll find producers have a revisionist history about the first season — though many claim to have recognized Kelly's star power the second she entered the set, the second-most successful American Idol (behind Season 4's Carrie Underwood) wouldn't even be seen until halfway through the semifinals. Instead, in watching the pilot episode of 'Idol,' you'll see an episode that clearly sets up a win for either Tamyra Gray or Justin Guarini.
All the same, it's still a fun watch full of spikey hair and other questionable fashion choices, so go on the journey alongside us in our latest podcast episode! Grab your red Coca-Cola cup and enjoy!
