American Idol Season One : Where Did They Go?

What do you think of when hear the words "American Idol"? For some, those two words make them cringe.  Some may say that they have never heard of it, and some may simply say that it is just "ok.". If you are like me and millions of other though, this hit reality television show simply called American Idol is addictive and highly entertaining. 

Us followers are there from early on, laughing at the singing attempts and forming opinions on our favorite singers before the cut throat part of the competition even begins. Thousands upon thousands contestants show up to audition for the popular singing competition, yet only a small percent get the chance to perfrom in front of the three judges. Of that small percent, and even smaller percent has the actual chance of letting their talents shine for the world to see. 

The contestants that happen to be lucky enough to impress the judges also impress the millions of fans that watch the show religiously. Fans start picking out there favorite singer, and are crushed if their favorite contestant is eliminated. Many are often left wondering what happened to that great singer that seemed to fall off the face of earth after American Idol.

Many of our favorite past contestants have went on to better things, while many seem to have given up on singing altogether. Here is the first part of my list of the top past but not forgotten American Idol contestants from Season One. Be sure to check back for past contestants of all four seasons.

Tamyra Gray

Tamyra Gray was that wonderful singer from Season One. The live audience and fans at home were utterly astonished and outraged when she was voted off the show. Many felt that there were many contestants still standing what couldn't hold a candle to Tamyra's voice and personality.
