Now that season 6
of "American Idol" is over - with Jordin Sparks crowned the newest Idol - and
auditions for season 7 are under way, Sparks and the rest of the
season-6 bunch are in their promotional push, hoping to hit
post-"Idol" success. Runner-up Blake Lewis and his beat-boxing
talents aside, still leading the pack of exiles just might
be Sanjaya Malakar. Applauded more for his charm (and hairstyles) than for
his talent, Malakar remains a hot watercooler topic, while other castoffs have
faded from memory.
With "American Idol" averaging about 31 million
viewers this season, the fortunate few who take the stage usually get their 15
minutes of fame. But what about after the final votes are tallied? An "Idol"
presence isn't a guarantee of future success, nor is an "Idol" eviction a
promise of failure. Six years into this pop-culture phenomenon, it's clear that
it doesn't always matter who "wins."
Let's see how some past "Idol"
contenders have fared professionally in a post-"Idol" world.
