And even though I'm just a fair fan of Kelly and not much into Carrie/country music, I do think they are both really talented.

Oh and Jennifer Hudson, who didn't win...but is SO talented and done well for herself in other arenas.

This is an interesting look at all the AI successes.

Clay Aiken has done well but I don't follow him. Fantasia has a reality show now, but I don't follow her anymore because I can't stand the show. Adam's beginning to do pretty well.

You're right that Clarkson and Underwood have been the most successful, imo. Kelly has a new album coming out soon. I am a fan of hers.
