24 Talent Show Losers That Ended up Being Super Successful

LAUREN ALAINA WAS THE RUNNER-UP ON THE 10TH SEASON OF “AMERICAN IDOL.” SHE HAD HER FIRST NUMBER ONE SONG “ROAD LESS TRAVELED” IN 2017.

The later seasons of “American Idol” were not the most memorable, but Alaina managed to turn her time on the show into a successful music career.

Her duet with Kane Brown, “What Ifs,” was on five different Billboard charts at once. Her and Brown became the first artists to simultaneously top five country charts.
