More Idol
Even though I continue to watch American Idol, even I have to agree with those who say their track record of making stars is mediocre. Among the winners, only Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are big recording stars. Fantasia is doing well on the Urban R&B charts and could break out as an actress.
But it's with the runner-ups that show has done better: Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, even goofy Kelly Pickler.
Still, many names have come and gone. This is the 10th season, which means that close to 100 singers have reached the Top 10. Where are most now? Some still sing, some are now doing TV hosting gigs and others are still waiting for the 20 million or so weekly viewers to rediscover them again.
