Musically? None.
Jennifer Hudson and Katharine McPhee are still doing reasonable on television and in movies I guess. They've both seen more success as actresses.

Like for me, it's Daughtry, Fantasia, Adam, JHud, Scotty, Phillip?? I don't think Kath is and Kellie Pickler I dont really know.. People know Jordin, but for her old music not the new ones, i dont know if that's considered relevant |

McPhee and Hudson are still, somewhat, household names. They're more like C-list celebs. Of course Kelly and Carrie are A-list.
Everyone else is D-list, at best, at this point.

I agree for the most part. However, I'd argue Jennifer Hudson is an A-lister, too. She's not a superstar recording artist, but she is a house-hold name. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find people who don't know of Jennifer Hudson. She's an Oscar and Grammy winner, and she's constantly performing at different TV events. A-Listers: Carrie, Kelly, Jennifer Hudson. B-Listers: Clay Aiken, Fantasia, Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler, Jordin Sparks, Adam Lambert, Scotty McCreery, Phillip Phillips C-Listers: The rest of those who could be considered "household names"... ... And then there's Justin Guarini. |

Kelly and Carrie are the A's. I'd say McPhee and Hudson are B-List celebrities as far as getting a lot of attention, but mostly for exposure or acting roles and not music, unfortunately. The rest are C-List right now, imo, in that they're "known," but nobody's really paying attention.

Honestly, I'd say Kelly Clarkson is between the A & B list somewhere. She's definitely not where she was 5 years ago, let alone 10 years ago. Carrie is a legit A lister still. I'd say Jennifer Hudson is A list in the circles she moves in, B list overall. I wouldn't say Katherine McPhee is an A list TV star either. Smash was anything but after the start of Season 1. Season 1 of Scorpion did OK, nothing phenomenal. Everybody else is more of a punchline or an early 2000s trivia question.

Thanks for sharing ur opinion tho |

Kelly is DEFINITELY an A-lister. I mean, she's one of the biggest pop superstars of the last decade.

With a song currently in the top 40 (six years after his Idol run and five years after his previous top 40 hits), Adam Lambert should be considered at least a B-lister IMO. Same for Scotty McCreery, especially in country circles. Phillip Phillips' second album performed disappointingly, but it may still be too soon to write him off yet.

Musically:
Kelly Clarkson
Carrie Underwood
-----------------
Jennifer Hudson (also in acting)
Scotty McCreery (rising country singer)
Adam Lambert (not sure which genre he's in now, but can't dismiss him after Ghost Town)
-------------------
Chris Daughtry (his last album disappointed)
Phillip Phillips (other than a couple of songs, I don't remember much about him)
Acting:
Hudson
Katherine McPhee
Others:
Clay Aiken (probably better known for Celeb Apprentice and that failed Congress run), Josh Gracin (hopefully, he can straighten himself out), Jon Peter Lewis (seems to pop up once every couple of years, most recently on The Voice).

Only Kelly, Carrie and Adam are still relevant to mainstream listeners. J-Hud and McPhee are relevant as actresses but not for their music. Post-Idol, Scotty and Phillip were never relevant. Scotty is slaying the country market but CHR doesn't use him. Phillip is a two hit wonder.

Scotty is slaying the country market but CHR doesn't use him. CHR isn't everything. Scotty is very successful in his genre of Country, and that is definitely enough to make him relevant. |

A couple years ago I'd place Kelly above Carrie, but now I think it's pretty clear Carrie is the most relevant of them all, not to downplay Kelly in any way because I genuinely enjoy them both. They're the only relevant ones though.
