Chris Daughtry, Kellie Pickler, Katharine McPhee, Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Scotty McCreery, Ruben Studdard, Bo Bice, Crystal Bowersox, Adam Lambert, David Cook and David Archuleta are some of the singers whose names are now recognized after appearing on the American Idol
So far: All of the winners (For at least some amount of time, although some have faded after their brief success.) and a few runner-ups, and a few other contestants that didn't even make it to the top 2. All of them, though, are pretty good. American Idol people are probably the most talented you'll find. I don't know all of them, but I'll list some: Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkston, Jordin Sparks, Clay Aiken, David Cook, David Archuleta, and Kellie Pickler. Just note that not ALL of them are that successful CURRENTLY, but at some time they did have alot of fame. However, some others DO have that currently. Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, David Archuleta, and Kellie Pickler just as some examples of those who are still popular NOW. It doesn't seem like any of them will go soon.

No. Taylor Swift was never a contestant on American Idol.
Daddy Yankee and Ricky Martin are two of the most famous Latin American singers. Also, Freddy Fender and Dulce Maria are famous Latin American singers.

Fantasia became famous through the hit series show "American Idol"
no, if there Asian they can be famous in America but because there not American you cant call them famous American singers! Technically, they are American if they live in America.. so yes, they can be Asian and be famous American singers. Ever heard of Far East Movement? (:
