Siohban should win. She needs a genre to find, & I can see her doing the kind of music Idol producers want her to make: Pure POP.

Just because you win doesn't mean you automatically have a label. Actually, take a look at the list of winners and you'll see they all have different labels. Although 19 owns them all, they have multiple labels working with them, and they aren't forced to do pop/rock music. Kelly's first was very r&b/soul pop. Reuben, Fantasia, Carrie, and Taylor have NEVER done pop/rock. The only reason Kelly is forced to, is because her two album that weren't pop/rock didn't "smash" as well as the two that did, so they basically tell her to do pop/rock because it's what brings them in $$$. She'll soon get out of her contract, though.
