Remember he won first place so he was given exclusive promotional time as part of the winnings. The same with Ruben. He was heavily promoted ALL over the place at the very beginning. I even remember Kellie Picker made a joke about that during the time Taylor was looking for a girl that he spotted looking at him on the plane. He did several commercials for Ford, but, unfortunately, Ford was tanking as well in sales so that gig was a wash for him.
Incidentally, I had a a feeling that he's wasn't going to make it far because when I was attending the Idol Tour concert with Kellie in Anaheim, a couple of people I met there told me that he was shrewed compared to Kelly Clarkson, who they also met once at a gig, but she was very friendly. He didn't like signing autographs for people or interact with them! Maybe it was his personality. Right there, I know he's not going make it far. I heard the same thing about Katharine McPhee from Myriam.
