Boys Better Than Girls?

Alexis Grace's elimination rehashes an intriguing American Idol conspiracy theory. Crush-object boys are more likely to succeed on the show than their female rivals due to an aggressive, teenybopper voter base.

This trend was glaring last season, when then-contestants Jason Castro, David Cook, Michael Johns and David Archuleta received exponentially more fan mail than the girls that year.

However, the Tiger Beat effect does not trickle down to post-Idol careers as the show's alumna (Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks) have had far better luck in their careers than the boys (Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks, David Cook) after the Idol spotlight fades.

Will this years boys be more successful than this years girls? As much as I love Allison and Megan, I don't think they will do nearly as well as say... Adam or Danny! Post your thoughts in the comments!
