He was not a winner, came in second(Neither was "the horrible Chinese singer guy"), and I had high hopes for him. He has a beautiful voice, and there is a possibility that he might become the new lead singer of queen. Just because someone is on American Idol, does not mean that they are automatically crap.
As for past Idol members that are popular currently
Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Chris Daughtry, and as of now, Adam Lamburt. Not saying any of these guys are musically talented, but they are pretty damn popular and will probably remain so for some time.
