If I heard a cut on the radio, or in a record store, or someone whose taste I know is comparable to mine said "hey, you should check this guy out," then I might buy the disc. But it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that he was on a tv show.

I'm assuming barely's mother didn't buy it because he was on the show. I'm assuming she bought it because she heard him perform and liked his voice. The only connection with the show would be that that is where she heard him sing.
It just seemed to me like you were one of those "he doesn't deserve the spotlight because he won that show" types. While I think he is a shitty singer (don't like his boring ballads), I wouldn't avoid his album if I liked his songs simply because he was on the show. That's all.
And I'll help you reach those sausages if you ask nicely.
