American Idol don’t necessarily need to win the reality competition to achieve fame. Over the course of 18 seasons, a number of hopefuls have gone on to build careers that outshined the success of the series’ victors. Some have had hit albums, others parlayed their fame into acting gigs, and one even pivoted to a career in politics.
As we gear up for the premiere of Season 19, slated for February 14, 2021 on ABC, let’s take a look at the losers who still ultimately proved they have what it takes to be a star.

Actress Seyi Omooba | Christian Legal Centre
A Christian actress in the U.K. who was fired from a theater production over an allegedly homophobic Facebook post had her discrimination case heard before the Central London Employment Tribunal on Monday.
Seyi Omooba filed a lawsuit with the employment tribunal seeking $174,618 (£128,000) against Curve Theatre in Leicester and her former agents for religious discrimination and breach of contract after she was fired from the leading role of Celie in a 2019 stage production of Alice Walker s The Color Purple, according to multiplereports.
The 26-year-old devout Christian actress was reportedly offered on an unconditional basis the full payment of her contract, the theater told the Central London Employment Tribunal in a virtual hearing.
