It seems like more and more, contestants who gained fame on shows like American Idol are becoming quite popular with hits in the charts.

Got any favourites?

I really enjoy Cher Lloyd, Carly Rae Jepsen and Olly Murs. 
Murs never had a Top 40 hit in North America, but his single 'My Heart Skips A Beat' featuring Rizzle Kicks did reach #97 in Canada, and everytime I go into HMV, I hear it.

With the exception of Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson- I find that I've not spent a lot of time taking interest in the contestants once the shows are over.

I like Jordin Sparks and look forward to seeing her in Sparkle but I can't name one song she's done outside of No Air....but I regularly listen to her version of I Who Have Nothing - I think that song solidified her win on Idol.

I heard that Mabye something song on the radio for the first time on the radio two days ago and heard the name Carly Rae Jepsen playing Song Pop on Facebook.... I had no idea who she was until she was mentioned here... then again when have I ever seen Canadian Idol  :D


I will say, my anti country ass, kind of likes Before He Cheats but it took about 5yrs to warm up to it.  ;D


I liked Fantasia - but never thought she should have won.. I was hoping for JHud or Latoya London that season.  And I thought Tamyra Gray should've been up against Kelly Clarkson Season One---having said that I never actively sought out Tamyra Gray or Latoya London, tho I have seen Tamyra's few attempts at acting which, as I recall were okay but not great.


After watching season one of Xfactor (US) I admit I was interested in Melanie Amora and thought I might seek out her music but her woe-is-me tweets when Whitney died seriously turned me off so now she has to find me.

I am looking forward to someday finding Astro's music I think the kid is crazy talented but his talent isn't as great as his ego so I don't intend to try too hard to find him.

I love little rachel crow and want to watch her rise to fame - i hope she doesn't go all lohan on us... will I buy her music? probably not but I will watch her movies  :)


I think I was excited about the prospect of a Crystal Bowersox album but the further I got away from that season of idol the less excitement I felt.

I enjoyed Taylor Hicks's music. His act was very impressive.

I like Jordin Sparks and look forward to seeing her in Sparkle but I can't name one song she's done outside of No Air....but I regularly listen to her version of I Who Have Nothing - I think that song solidified her win on Idol.


Sparkle looks good.  I am hoping that Philip Michael Thomas and/or Irene Cara will make cameo appearances in it.  Gotta have an hommage to the 1976 original in there somewhere

Jordin Sparks really cranked it out on American Idol.  She was fantastic!

I would love to see Irene Cara in a cameo...I haven't seen or heard from her in years! 

what I'm not looking forward to is all the Whitney Houston dust up that's gonna happen in the press junket for the film...Whitney's dead must we really hear it all again???
