I love that Chris Doughtry wasn’t even runner up and he still went on to have an amazing career!

Scotty McCreery is releasing an album titled "Season Changes" this Friday after over a four year hiatus.

"What did you remember from American idol ?"

"Im only remember Adam Lambert"

Danny Gokey❤️❤️ what a man with the biggest heart! His recent albums are full of joy awww! Love him!

[mylps]

I miss Jordin Sparks, I remember falling in love with her when she made a cameo on Suite Life

[AryannaEO]

David Cook my favorite winner (of a season i watched at least). Can't believer it's been almost 10 years since he won and he's releasing his 4th (official) album and will be in Kinky Boots on Broadway.

I only came here for my Scotty. I love him. I knew he was gonna win from the first time I saw him. I said he’s gonna make it. I’ve seen him in concert. He always comes my birthday weekend but I can never go I’m poor. I love him!!!!

[kristinafischer]

I thought Adam Lambert's performance of Mad World was incredibly haunting and he was sure to win. Glad to see he is loved by many!

I grew up in the same as Scotty McCreery. He’s like a god in this town. But he’s still great.

[jenigalia]

funny when the title is all about AI winners but when you look at the comments section, it's all adam lambert LOL

[allieshepard]

Still mad adam Lambert lost but he's way more famous so that's good.

My fave Idol winner was David Cook. I may have already been done, but doing a update on AI runner ups and where they are now would be cool. Adam Lambert is very successful-will be releasing his 4th studio album in 2019, has been doing sold out worldwide tours fronting Queen (known as Queen and Adam Lambert), and Queen/Adam Lambert will be doing a 3 week residency in Las Vegas Sept. 2018. I feel it was better he didn't win cause he had more creative control on his records and who produced them.

[allyce]

Adam Lambert should've won. I am glad that he is madly successful!

[BellinghamYorkshire]

With the exception of Clarkson and Underwood the runner ups have had much more successful careers.

[dickwintered]

I think Idol peaked at Season 7 with the battle of the Davids, and reached its highest popularity level at Season 8. It all just went downhill from there sadly. Ahh, good times.

[saiyongdawn]

Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are the top two AI sellers. Adam Lambert was robbed but he's rocking all the way to Fort Knots. Lol. And did you check out his Rendition of Cher's 'Believe' which he performed in her honor? He killed it. 😍

I love Scotty McCreery...

I'm a country boy so I'm always glad to see a country artist make it "Big" after American idol.

Scotty's music is amazing

[KA-eusy]

Chris Daughtry was robbed. If you don't believe me, watch him as Rottweiler on Masked Singer.

[hazelgracesenara]

Phillip is doing great right now! He should've had a better rank! His new album Collateral is pure versatile. And Scotty is continually killing the charts!

Lee, Kris, *David Cook* 👍 THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING COOK!
