American Idol has consistently been one of the most watched reality TV shows of all time and continues to draw huge audiences as each new season begins. Most of the previous winners have gone on to have amazing careers in show business. Winning contestants like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks, Lee DeWyze, and Jordin Sparks have gone on to success both professionally as well as financially. Judges have changes recently but the original three (Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell) were perhaps the most entertaining part of the show because they are each strong personalities themselves and tend to stand out while voicing their own unique opinions regarding what talent is all about. Ryan Seacrest has been MC for the entire run of American Idol and he is a former disk jockey who knows something about musical talent himself. Viewers get to watch some contestants stumble and fail because they simply don't have what it takes to perform while the occasional super talent will come along and truly shine, then move on to become the next American Idol.
