American Idol Most Shocking Eliminations In The History Of The Show

American Idol has aimed to find the next big singing sensation ever since the series premiered on Fox in 2002, but along the way, quite a few talented singers with plenty of potential ended up getting sent home too early. The original run of the show was on the air from 2002 until 2016. It was then canceled by Fox, only to be rebooted by ABC two years later in 2018. Despite finding fantastic performers throughout the process, the series has also seen its fair share of unfortunate eliminations that have shocked the viewers at home and the judges in the panel. Throughout 18 seasons of the show (season 19 is currently airing), here is a rundown of the most shocking eliminations in Idol history.

The first truly shocking elimination on American Idol happened very early on in the series, when season 3 saw the elimination of Jennifer Hudson, who finished in seventh place in the competition. Jennifer’s elimination was shocking because she appeared to be a fan-favorite to win the whole competition. Alas, in hindsight, it doesn’t seem like she needed American Idol to boost her career after all. Since her time in the series, Jennifer has won two Grammys and an Oscar. She was also a coach on both the American and British version of The Voice.

Jennifer Hudson’s elimination was just the start of shocking eliminations, as many followed in seasons to come after. Other shocking American Idol eliminations include Chris Daughtry (season 5), Kellie Pickler (season 5), Melinda Doolittle (season 6), Carly Smithson (season 7), Michael Johns (season 7), Matt Giraud (season 8), Alex Lambert (season 9), and Michael Lynche (season 9).

Despite being eliminated from American Idol, it seems like these standouts from the competition have gone on to have very successful post-show, which goes to show viewers that you don’t need to win American Idol in order to be successful. It’s very helpful for those contestants to get their career started, but winning the show isn’t the only path forward for these up-and-coming singers to have incredibly successful careers in singing, acting, and more.

With American Idol season 19 – the fourth season of the ABC revival – currently airing, there are already a few standout contestants who have captivated the fans watching at home and the judges giving them critiques. Alas, with just a few weeks left in the competition, it could be anyone’s game to be crowned the next American Idol, and the viewers will just have to continue tuning in to find out if their favorite makes it far, with the possibility of winning the whole competition.
