The 2005 season winner of the internationally popular singing competition
"American Idol," Carrie Underwood is not only the best-selling, but she's the most consistent winner or contestant of the show.
The very private Underwood seems to have left her stormy celebrity relationships behind and has a beauty-next-door quality, telling interviewers homey little details like a fondness for grocery shopping and struggling with panic attacks. Her recent marriage to a hockey star is similarly low-key.
Kelly Clarkson, the first ever "American Idol" winner, represented the U.S. in this competition and tours extensively. Her fifth album will come out next year.
Chris Daughtry didn't make it all the way on "Idol" (how far did he get?), but that hasn't stopped him from becoming a success. He was even nominated for a Grammy Award for best song.
Kellie Pickler's talent as well as down-home charm made her a favorite among the judges during the fifth season of "Idol" (what place did she finish?).
Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks was the youngest to take the top title in the show's history. Post-show she debuted a duet with this troubled R&B singer.
Hudson didn't win on "Idol" (how far did she get?) in Season 3, but she went on to receive much higher accolades for her acting chops. Tragedy struck her family in 2008.
The former bartender took the show's title in its seventh season and scored an endorsement deal with this shoe company.
At 16, he was the youngest contestant on the show, but he came in second on the show's seventh season. No stranger to the spotlight, Archuleta had appeared on another televised talent competition at 12 years old.
Clay Aiken
He didn't win (who beat him?) the second season, but Aiken has become one of the most successful and beloved singers to leave the show. He's appeared on Broadway and welcomed a child.
Kris Allen
Prior to his win on the eighth season of "Idol," Allen self-released an album.
