Many of the most famous alumni have been "non-winners" (Chris Daughtry, Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson...to name a few). Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are the most famous actual "winners". Seems that many of them have a quick "15 minutes of fame" then just fade away. Shows like this seem to be based more on popularity than talent.
