Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Katherine Mcphee are the only 3 people who actually became stars from 15 years of that shit show.

And Clay Aiken. But now he's a politician I think lol. And Jennifer Hudson. She won an Oscar. And there are others. But these 5 found the most success.

What ever happened to the fat black guy that beat Clay Aiken? Wasn't his name Reuben or something?

I'd say that Carrie Underwood has been the most successful, without a doubt. Kelly Clarkson comes in second, while Kat McPhee has struggled a little bit, in my opinion, at least in the music department. She has a great voice, but never seems to get as much recognition as the latter two women. Kat is great in the CBS drama "Scorpion" though. She's even dating her co-star Elyes Gabel too...although their relationship has been on and off. Speaking of which, it now appears that their characters on "Scorpion" have finally formed a relationship, which makes such a pairing as one of the most realistic moments currently on television.

Even at the finale, I had a feeling they all already knew this would happen or that it was somehow already planned. Even Ryan seemed like he knew something was up someone's sleeve.

I loved AI and was a viewer from the very start to the very end, even though I did not enjoy the last few seasons as much as the first. But personally, I don't really want it to come back. It had its time.

They'll probably also bring it back completely changed, and I wouldn't be interested in that. If it comes back at all I'd like the same format, same everything, Ryan, the them music, but maybe just better judges, or previous contestants as judges. Kelly Clarkson was good in her guest judge week, she'd be great.

Didn't they decide to cancel it not long ago? Now they want to revive it again?
