We’ll obviously have a whole lot of time to discuss this moving forward, but to us some of the most notable contestants over the show’s history include the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, David Archuleta, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McCreery,
Haley Reinhart, Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez, Candice Glover, and plenty of other names that we didn’t even get around to mentioning here. They’ve had as a whole more success launching stars than any other show has, even though it’s been a few years since they’ve been that successful at it.
Notice no mention of Lauren Alaina, Daughtry or Caleb Johnson? Surprised they mentioned Lee DeWyze but not Rubin or Fantasia (I had to google who won last year because I couldn't remember)
