American Idol - where a lucky few rise to the top and sign a life-changing record deal, and where others... well, get voted off and ultimately everyone forgets about them. C’est la vie, we suppose? Hold on a minute. Chris Daughtry? Jennifer Hudson? How about Adam Lambert? They didn’t win it all? Don’t remember Ryan Seacrest announcing any of them as winners.
The funny thing is, some of these finalists are getting more radio play and have gone on to be more successful than those who were actually crowned the AmericanIdol.
Well, we’re currently deciding which of the American Idol winners is the best, but now it’s time to determine the “Best American Idol Finalist.” American Idol winners have had enough glory. It’’s time to show some love to those who unfortunately didn’t win it all. Were you rooting for David Archuleta? Maybe Haley Reinhart? Ah, who can forget teenage sensation, Jessica Sanchez? This is your chance to root for them all over again, but this time make sure they make it ALL THE WAY to the top. Start gathering up that support and prepare to rally!
Here Are The Nominees for Best American Idol Finalist:
Jennifer Hudson
Chris Daughtry
David Archuleta
