Hoping to discover the next pop superstar, the music competition has more than made an ineradicable mark in pop culture and is in charge for its share of lasting voices (Kelly Clarkson! Carrie Underwood! Daughtry! Adam Lambert!) and plenty of disposable ones.
Over the years, the aging struggle has had plenty of growing pains -- acid-tongued umpire Simon Cowell exiting, ratings dips and odd people choices - but despite the show’s missteps, millions go on to tune in to watch from auditions to finals, and guess who will walk away with the title.
Although recent winners of the competition have followed a different pattern -- a record number of 132 million votes helped Georgia-bred troubadour Phillip Phillips win this time contestants have found victory in virtually every genre including pop, R&B, country, rock, gospel, dance and musical theater.
