Biggest American Idol star.

[HouseofPain]

A teacher I work with says that Adam lambert will make more money than anyone that has ever came from the American idol show. I disagree with him and say he will never match Carrie Underwoods success (of course I maybe prejudice because I would rather look at her than Adam, or anyone else for that matter). Just curious to see who you all think is or will be the biggest name coming from AI. This is open to any AI contestant except for bikini girl!

Kelly Clarkson is doing pretty well for herself also.

Daughtry, Clarkson and Underwood.....not necessarily in that oder. Adam will not out sell or make more money than those three. Imo.

Clarkson and Underwood are easily #1 and #2...

[20/20Hindsight]

I just don't see that many people buying Adam's music. I think he'll have a successful first cd, but he'll be one and done. There is no way he will make more than Clarkson, Underwood, or Daughtry.

Carrie Underwood - hands down!

Hands up or anyway says to place them. I will be her humble servant.:notworthy:

I don't watch American Idol, but I really don't see how anyone could come close to the success of Carrie Underwood.

[Pat Dad]

Underwood. No doubt.

[atm10]

Underwood is #1 having made 14 million last year!

Clarkson is right there with her. But nobody else is in the convo yet.

I agree with Underwood and Clarkson as the biggest two, with Jordin Sparks and Chris Daughtery not far behind. However, don't forget the only person to have won an Oscar, Jennifer Hudson.

 

Other notables:

Bucky Covington

Josh Gracin

Kelly Pickler

Ruben Studdard

Fantasia

[Wireman]

Ruben Studdard or Kelly Clarkson if you're talking literal size.

Hudson is also the only one besides those two to have won a Grammy. I tend to think the gap between the top 2 and 3rd place is pretty big right now. Especially if judged on awards.

Underwood, is this really even the question?
