This time next year, who will be left standing?

Curiosity has danced around me for months now, concerning the 10 finalists of this year's Idol competition.
This time next year, who do you think would have made it big? Of course, the winner, Jordin Sparks, will invariably be riding on that long crest of success. Good fortune won't elude her that fast.
For one thing, she's talented; for another she's young and youth is on her side for the next 15 years. What about the others? Sanjaya? Blake Lewis? Lakisha?
Who knnows? Sometimes, it is not the winner who makes the biggest score. It could very well turn out to be that quiet chap, many have labelled as a no-hoper! Lady Luck and Smiling Fortune are partners in the game of destiny.
These two mischevious elements do play tricks on others because they know that every action of theirs has a moral lesson in them.
Personally, I would like to see Phil Stacey do well. I think Phil deserves it. So does Chris Sligh and Lakisha.
But the same road that all of them travel down, will produce different results for each and every one of them.
The Idol tour is currently gathering momentum. It is bonding time for them all. At the same time, they are searching for guideposts to their future. Could it still be in the entertainment business?
Right now, that seems to be the route. For others it will be other avenue. Not everybody is destined to go down the same path.
We shall have to wait. That's what is so wonderful about life. When you are young and life seems to offer you endless possibilities, excitement goes up several notches.
Where will anyone of the 10 be this time next year should be interesting. Meanwhile, their voices will be heard, at least on stage for the time being.
