The greatest television phenomenon of recent years has been American Idol. For the lucky few, it has been their ticket to fame and fortune.
While some winners have, quite frankly, disappeared without trace, the likes of Jordin Sparks and Kelly Clarkson have proved they have the talent to stay in the game. They have a lot to thank American Idol for.
In ordinary circumstances, finishing as runner up would be devastating, but not in this competition it isn't. There are many who have gone to outshine the ones who were crowned the winner, so coming second is no hardship as far as the American public is concerned.
We'll have a look now at some of the most famous runners up who have American Idol to thank for a great career, even though they didn't actually win.
The first of the successful runners up was Clay Aiken, back in season two. The skinny nerd transformed week by week in front of our eyes into a real star. He belted out a song like no other, and you that wherever he finished this guy was gonna stick around.
Ruben Studdard was the winner of that show, and I bet he wishes he had achieved half of the success that Clay has enjoyed since. His fans from the show have stayed loyal and have swelled in numbers since. Now a major Broadway star as well as appearing on many top rated TV shows, Clay Aiken is going to be around a long, long time.
The runner up from season 7 was the incredibly cute David Archuleta. He placed himself firmly in the hearts of the American public and still remains there today. This guy keeps popping up all over the place and has worked hard to carve himself a very successful career.
It looks as if this year's second placed contestant Adam Lambert is taking his place on this list too. He was beaten on the night by Kris Allen but in the months since that night, Lambert's career is going from strength to strength while Allen's seems to have stalled.
