A Look At Life After American Idol

By Manuel Chuy


While you may have never stopped and thought about it, there are some rather stark differences involving the careers of many of the previous winners for Americanidol. Most people start out trying to truly be the greatest singer that they can be, but somewhere across the line a few of the American Idols have somehow moved far off the straight path and finished up somewhere between oblivion and barely known. Yet as well, there are a few American Idol winners who may have gone on to create almighty careers that have launched them to the true success that the show was originally intended for.

Each year there are thousands of people all around the country who audition to the show. Each year there is only a single winner selected at the very end, but this is not and has never been a true indicator from the success that the winner will quickly realize after the show is over. As an example, how many people really learn about Taylor Hicks, Ruben Studdard or even Fantasia? The sad reality is that all of these singers start out searching for success, but somewhere over the line, they have moved distant from the success that they dreamed about.

It is extremely important to remember that as you are working to build a career that you have to work at it, and several of the former American Idols have forgotten this crucial consideration. Several American Idols have gone onto create truly amazing careers, after all how many people have not been aware of Carrie Underwood? While Carrie Underwood certainly leads the pack in terms of success, it is certainly only some of the contestant who has found success. Other winners of American Idol such as Kelly Clarkson have also found a great deal of success in the show, and following the show.

Looking over all of the actual contestants as well as their careers it has appeared that you have some who find greater success ending the show because the runner up, rather than because actual winner of the show. For instance, Katharine McPhee has found more success in the media while Taylor Hicks has begun slipping further into darkness. This is simply another example of some of the earlier castoff's doing a lot better than the winner.

Overall the best person to emerge from the show was Chris Daughtry, while his time on the show was special, his time because the show has been an even greater success. While using creation of the band Daughtry where he is the lead singer, he has enjoyed the advantages of selling over 3.2 million copies of the debut album. Additional honors that were passed on is the usage of a Daughtry song as the closing song each week for Season 6 when a contestant was sent home.

All across various seasons there have been several contestants who've gone on to create albums in order to find some level of commercial success. Josh Gracin the first sort marine from season 2, in addition to Jennifer Hudson from season 3, Kellie Pickler from season 5 who may have found success in country music. All of this points heavily for the success of the American Idol is not simply based upon their actual success following your show, but rather how heavily they attempt to actually pursue a successful music career.

Watching from the failures of other idols it is really easy to see how quickly someone can slip into fame, or how easily they're able to disappear from the spotlight. Making certain they make a fabulous impression on the world in terms of record sales is a lot harder than anyone ever imagined, and the winners of American Idol are certainly not proof against the problems that many artists face when selling records. Having the biggest response from the audience will not likely always guarantee a true commercial success, but those who are determined to make it big like Carrie Underwood certainly have a great shot at the success.
