Just found a really interesting interview with Canadian Idol judge Sass Jordan, who mentions a few times how amazing some of the Idol winners are including Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, she talks the most about Kelly though...she also gives background info/behind the scenes on American/Canadian Idol, pretty interesting interview!

the transcript can be found on hype heist:
