American Idol has produced more stars than any other TV talent competition series.

Jamal told me, "I love Mississippi. People try to get me to move, but it’s just so peaceful and just so down to earth. I wanted to paint a picture of what I miss and what I’ve come from and that what I do currently in Mississippi that gives me that ease and that peace of mind. And in the song, if you listen closely, you’ll hear how I feel."

Billboard named this song one of the 15 best Idol songs you never heard.

Kimberley Locke

One of the best pop recordings by any Idol, and I feel somewhat responsible. I made the call to Curb Records to see if they would be interested in signing Kimberley to a recording deal -- and SVP of A&R Bryan Stewart said they were. Bryan then found "8th World Wonder" and the single debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart.

One of Billboard's 15 "overlooked" Idol singles, "Coulda Been" shoulda been a hit.

Everybody fell in love with the Velvet Teddy Bear back in 2003 and we still love Ruben Studdard.
