American Idol is famous for giving platform and ultimately a professional celebrity career to exceptional talents. However, American Idol and the show’s judges have also failed to notice or say judge and let go some good, really good musical talent. Here is the list of those celebrities who found their real worth after being rejected or failed in American Idol.

Hillary Scott

Five Grammy award winner, the famous front woman from lady Antebellum, Hillary Dawn Scott, professionally known as Hilary Scott is the one who have auditioned for American Idol twice but didn’t get chance to even see the judges to show her talent. When questioned about this experience multiple times, her answer was really humble that perhaps she couldn’t make it because she was nervous and shedding few tears, she decided to not let go off her passion in music. She said that when the doors were shut, a window was open for her. Yes, it was perhaps a golden one as she created Lady Antebellum in 2006 being the co-lead singer gry hazardowe. ‘Love don’t live here’, ‘Lookin’ for the Good time’, ‘I Run to you’, ‘Need You Now’, ‘Hello World’, ‘Just a Kiss’, ‘We Owned the Night’, ‘Wanted you more’, and many more made Scott become a number one idol. Her latest release is the family album, ‘Love Remains’ in 2016.



And there she was with her team singing and performing at the stage of American Idol, Season 10, and episode 33 as the actual singing artist. Thanks AI for rejecting her, she really deserved to come to your stage as a established artist by her own!

Tori Kelly

Victoria Loren Kelly famously known as Tori Kelly has proved herself to be a multitalented artist with spellbinding art of singing, songwriting, music making , multiple music instrument playing and of course winning hearts of  millions of music lovers. However, it’s really hard to believe that the rising star was once eliminated before the top 24 round in American Idol, season 9.

Teri Kelly started to gain recognition at the age of 14 when she posted her videos in YouTube and became a YouTube child star. Teri Kelly really set an example of being the real Music Idol by focusing on her own music after the elimination from American Idol at the age of 16. Her passion is climbing charts of success with the help of manager Scooter Braun and contract signed with Capitol Records. AI must be rethinking for it’s judgement!!!
