Poll of the week: Jennifer Hudson eclipses fellow 7th-place finishers

The winner of the latest version of IDOL LIVE's 2010 edition of the poll of the week champion series for readers' favorite seventh-place finalist of all nine seasons was no surprise.

Jennifer Hudson of Season 3 took in nine votes, or 37% of all 24 votes cast during the course of the week. While this number isn't very high at all, it's pretty easy to believe that J-Hud is the most popular seventh-place finalist of all time due to her post-Idol success.

The next closest placing was was Season 7's Kristy Lee Cook's showing in second thanks to seven votes (29%), while Season 9's Tim Urban nabbed four votes (16%).

In the next round, readers will be asked which 6th-place finalist is their favorite of all nine seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.

Ryan Starr 1 (4%)
Kimberly Caldwell 0 (0%)
Jennifer Hudson 9 (37%)
Anwar Robinson 2 (8%)
Ace Young 1 (4%)
Sanjaya Malakar 0 (0%)
Kristy Lee Cook 7 (29%)
Lil Rounds 0 (0%)
Tim Urban 4 (16%)

Total votes: 24

Poll of the week: KLC cooks the competition for Top 7

Things are beginning to get a little ridiculous on IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series, as another Season 7 alum once again advanced to the finals of the series.

Kristy Lee Cook was voted the favorite seventh-place finalist of all eight seasons, taking in 41 votes (49%) in all, which was far ahead of the 22 votes (26%) that favorite Jennifer Hudson was able to muster.

The only other placing worth mentioning is Ace Young's third-place finish with 11 votes, or 13% of the total.

In the next installment of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series, readers are asked which sixth-place finalist is their favorite of all eight seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.

Ryan Starr 0 (0%)
Kimberly Caldwell 6 (7%)
Jennifer Hudson 22 (26%)
Anwar Robinson 1 (1%)
Ace Young 11 (13%)
Sanjaya Malakar 0 (0%)
Kristy Lee Cook 41 (49%)
Lil Rounds 2 (2%)

Flashback: Anwar Robinson's "I'll Never Love This Way Again"

Season 4 was an interesting one because although Carrie Underwood was pretty much the favorite to take the Idol crown the whole season, there were a few dark horses that gave her a run for her money. One of those few was Anwar Robinson, a music teacher that Randy once said was technically the best singer. On Top 8 night, Anwar chose to sing "I'll Never Love This Way Again," and he gave some credence to the aforementioned comment, as it was perhaps his best known deliverance on the stage. Watch it below:



Although Anwar had a good amount of steam in the beginning of the season, he was quickly lost in the shadow of Carrie and only managed a seventh-place showing. Still, "I'll Never Love This Way Again" remains one of the highlights of the season.

Keeping up with Anwar Robinson

Once considered to be the front runner of the fourth season of Idol, Anwar Robinson was not able to sustain enough enthusiasm to carry him to a win, and placed seventh instead. Although things have not necessarily panned out for him recording-wise, Anwar has been able to make a name for himself in the musical theatre world.

Last year, Anwar embarked on the 2007-2008 international tour of RENT, in which he played the role of Collins. The tour had stops in the U.S., Canada and Japan.

Anwar is now set to play Jesus in the Syracuse production of Godspell, which begins Nov. 25 and runs through Dec. 28. He also has a charity single called "Chosen," which is allegedly for sale but there is no link to purchase it on his official music MySpace page.

IDOL LIVE poll of the week - Kristy Lee cruises to a win

Although it was not nearly as much of a blowout as the previous IDOL LIVE poll of the week, Kristy Lee Cook had a healthy victory over Jennifer Hudson in last week's poll. Kristy Lee took 17 votes, good for 42% of the total sample, to Jennifer's 12 votes (30%). The competition started out exciting, but in the end Ace Young could only muster six votes (15%) and Kimberly Caldwell four votes (10%). In this week's poll of the week, we ask who your favorite eighth-place finalist is. You have exactly one week to vote.

Ryan Starr 0 (0%)
Kimberly Caldwell 4 (10%)
Jennifer Hudson 12 (30%)
Anwar Robinson 1 (2%)
Ace Young 6 (15%)
Sanjaya Malakar 0 (0%)
Kristy Lee Cook 17 (42%)
