for me, of all AI finalists, the one who gained much fame is kelly clarkson. her album sold millions not only in the US but in other countries as well... coming close to her is carrie underwood whose album is very successful too and she even won a grammy... chris daughtry, kat mcphee and kellie pickler have just released their albums and we still have to see if they'd be as successful as kelly and carrie. jennifer hudson also gained recognition though not as a singer but as an award-winning actress. other finalists who are also quite popular here in the US (although not in the mainstream) are clay aiken, kimberly locke, and fantasia barrino... but as they say, in the music world, one true measure of success is longevity. so, it's still to early to say who are really successful...
