When American Idol goes full swing into another season, it's easy to forget about some of the faces of the past. Sure, we are reminded of Kelly Clarkson, each time when we are on the radio, the Jennifer Hudson's whenever we are an awards and Corey Clark's always see when we see an episode of Cops. But what about those who do not the press? Do they have other projects going, or they simply have too American Idle?
There is no American Idol, we haveforgotten about quite as much as those in 1st Season It had to happen: we often about the game that starts the fire to forget. But many of the participants from Season 1 of their own voices, through the music and found a few other endeavors.

Since 2005 he has released two albums and is working on a third. He will also act again (as someone who saw From Justin to Kelly, I can only say "Thank God"), and was cast as a race driver for the upcoming movie Fast Girl.

Nikki McKibbin: American Idol Season 1's resident punk girl, Nikki McKibbin from RCA signed after the show. The label, however, wantedNikki incorporated into a country album and she wanted to be true to her rock 'n' roll roots. This resulted in no album ever produced, which remain true to her roots, a few others: Reality Shows
She appeared on Fear Factor, Battle of the Network Reality Stars and Kill Reality, which documented the creation and filming of the despised.
