All across the various seasons there have been several contestants who have gone on to create albums and find some level of commercial success. What actually occurs usually resembles more of a piranha attacking everyone and much less similar to a good friendly conversation or contest. Josh Gracin the former marine from season 2, In order to actually win the competition it is very important to learn how to truly make a great impression, as well as Jennifer Hudson from season 3, not just on the judges but also on the viewers as well. Kellie Pickler from season 5 who has found success in country music.
For the majority of contestants it is not always a huge deal to be let down towards the end. All of this points heavily towards the success of the American Idol is not simply based upon their actual success after the show, Only a single contestant can actually win the show, but rather how heavily they try to actually pursue a successful music career. so coming in 4th place is often good enough.
Watching from the failures of other idols it is really easy to see how quickly someone can slip into fame, However, or how easily they can disappear from the spotlight. if you are determined that you want to go further than ever before, Making sure they make a fabulous impression on the world in terms of record sales is much harder than anyone ever imagined, and you really want to win it is critical that you take some time to really learn how to win.While you may have never stopped and thought about it, Once you have a few key issues in place you will be well on your way to the number one finish that you want so badly, there are some rather stark differences between the careers of many of the previous winners for American Idol. without losing track of what is important. Most people start out trying to truly be the best singer that they can be,
Your first and utmost important tip is to always ensure that you are memorable. but somewhere along the line a few of the American Idols have somehow moved far off the straight path and ended up somewhere between oblivion and barely known. Have you ever watched the show and seen performances only to forget them a few minutes later? You no doubt have seen several performers like this, Yet at the same time, and if you are out to win, there are a few American Idol winners who have gone on to create truly powerful careers that have launched them into the true success that the show was originally intended for. you do not want to be this performer.
Each year there are thousands of people all around the country who audition for the show. This does not mean that you need to rush out and dye your hair hot pink, Each year there is only a single winner selected at the very end, wear huge sunglasses and sing with a strange voice. but this is not and has never been a true indicator of the success that the winner will find after the show is over. Rather it does mean you need to connect to the audience, For example, make them interested in you and what you are singing. how many people really hear about Taylor Hicks, If you simply walk out, Ruben Studdard or even Fantasia? The sad reality is that all of these singers start out searching for success, look terrified and sing for a few minutes you will be quickly forgotten. but somewhere along the line, If you come out with a song you love, they have moved far away from the success that they dreamed about. and have a lot of fun you will make a much better impression on the audience and be a lot easier to remember.
It is extremely important to remember that anytime you are working to build a career that you have to work at it,

While Carrie Underwood certainly leads the pack in terms of success, you are not likely to be taken serious as a performer. it is certainly not the only contestant who has found success. Rather you are likely to be considered the joke of the show. Other winners of American Idol such as Kelly Clarkson have also found a great deal of success in the show, If you want to be taken serious, and after the show. you need to have fun with it,
Looking over all of the actual contestants and their careers it has appeared that there are some who find greater success ending the show as the runner up, without seeming like the class clown trying to sing. rather than as the actual winner of the show. This is extremely important because far too many contestants move from having fun to looking clownish with their performances. For example,
A final suggestion is to watch the ballad songs. Katharine McPhee has found more success in the media while Taylor Hicks has started slipping further into darkness. Yes they are beautiful and can be extremely popular, This is just another example of some of the earlier castoffs doing much better than the winner. but the slow tempo of the song also makes it much easier to be forgotten the moment you walk off stage.
Overall the absolute best person to emerge from the show was Chris Daughtry, If people are watching recaps of the show and cannot remember what you sang, while his time on the show was special, then it is certainly time to rethink your song choices. his time since the show has been an even greater success. You need a song that will connect the audience and get them moving. With the creation of the band Daughtry where he is the lead singer, An audience that is moving while you sing is much more likely to actually remember you. he has enjoyed the benefit of selling over 3. rather than the soft soulful ballad that they forgot about almost immediately after you were finished singing.2 million copies of the debut album.
