You religiously watched American Idol week in, week out. You felt their joys and defeats. You listened to brutal and wonderful judge evaluations but above all, you voted for your favorite every week. After a while though, maybe you stopped following the show so much but take a look at what these past favorite Idol contestants are up to now!
Ace Young
Helloooooo, Ace. You were dreamy back in season five of the show and you’re still just as dreamy now. After nine weeks on American Idol, Young was eliminated (thus breaking hearts everywhere). After the show, he released one album, has performed for charities all over (he’s a Celebrity Ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association), he’s starred in a few TV shows, and he’s starred on Broadway. He’s also married to American Idol season-three runner-up Diana DeGarmo.
Candice Glover
Your season 12 Idol winner, folks, has been quite busy. She’s been recording albums and performing live, which are both two things she does very well. She also starred in ‘The Love Shack’, a gospel musical that showed in LA.
