6. Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert was the runner up on season eight but he ended up being arguably more successful than that year’s winner, Kris Allen. Adam went on to tour with Queen in the place of Freddie Mercury (a gig doesn’t get much cooler for a powerhouse singer like him). His subsequent albums have spawned numerous hits such as “For Your Entertainment” and “Whataya Want From Me.” He also launched an acting career when he landed a role on Glee, and he’s now joining the reboot of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
