Jennifer Hudson
Everyone was utterly shocked when Jennifer Hudson was eliminated from the third season of Idol, placing seventh overall. However, the show was her platform and her fame and career launched after that. She made her film debut as Effie White in Dreamgirls, for which she gained worldwide acclaim and won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress. She’s released three albums, her debut album was nominated for four Grammy Awards and she won the 2009 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. In 2013, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The list goes on and on folks, she’s a star.

Jordin Sparks
Oh yeah, our girl Jordin won season six of Idol (she was only 17 at the time, making her the youngest winner of the show’s history) and has been kicking butt since then. She’s released three albums, enjoyed crazy success with many of her singles (like No Air and Battlefield), she also starred on Broadway, some films and TV shows and released three different perfumes. For five years, she wasn’t up to much but in 2014 she came back with her first mixtape, #ByeFelicia. How could we forget that she dated Jason Derulo for three years.
