American Idol Is O-V-E-R, But We’ll Never Forget These 5 Fierce Women

The farewell season of American Idol (season 15 – can you believe it?!) ended last night, and we were feeling all the feels. The show was like a major reunion, and TONS of our previous favorite contestants and judges (shout out to Nicki Minaj!) said their final goodbyes ?. Although we were sooo sad to see this show come to an end, we were thrilled that the amazing Trent Harmon was announced the final winner.

We'll miss this show, but we'll NEVER forget some of the amazingly fierce and talented women it brought us. Let's just take a sec to look back at five of our favorite Idol women and the auditions that totally launched their success!

1. La'Porsha Renae – Last Night's Runner-up!

 

2. Kelly Clarkson – Season 1 Winner

 

3. Carrie Underwood – Season 4 Winner

 

4. Jordin Sparks – Season 6 Winner 

 

5. Jennifer Hudson – Finalist in Season 3

 

When the finale was over and the lights dimmed, Ryan Seacrest closed out the show by saying, "For now…" does that mean this might not be the total end of Idol?! Guess we will have to wait and see!

 

While we're reminiscing here, let's take a look back at some of the worst and best auditions, shall we? Check them out HERE.
