Why doesn't she have a bigger career


She has a great voice, she just doesn't have the right songs.

Her grief, no big hits and her eating disorder.

I think her career has been reasonably impressive as far as former American Idol contestants go. I don't think many have won Oscars. Maybe her music career hasn't been Whitney-level but all of her albums have gone Top 10 in the US. I'd be happy with that as an artist in the first decade of my career.

It will be interesting to see her as Aretha Franklin in 'Respect'. The Oscars love biopics so I wouldn't be at all surprised if she's up for another one soon.

Because she ruined One Shining Moment.

I don't think people want to work with her. Rumors of out-of-control ego.

No nude pix on the Interwebs.

any more success would probably get the rest of her family killed
