Line 93:
** It also may have been planned: AGT producers may have been leery of having an 8-year-old girl headlining a show in Las Vegas.
** This pretty much happened to all the winners except for Terry Fator, who has his own Vegas show. Acts like Nuttin' But Stringz, Recylced Percussion, and Fighting Gravity have done better than the winners of their seasons.
** And let us not forget [[Lindsey Stirling]], who didn't even make it past the semifinals the year she competed -- but is probably a bigger star as of 2020 than anyone else who's competed on the show.
* Rachel Tucker did not in fact win the Andrew Lloyd Webber talent search show 'I'd Do anything', however unlike the winner who has virtually disappeared, Rachel went from strength to strength playing Meat in [[We Will Rock You]], and is now on stage as Elphaba in ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]''.
* [[CMT]]'s ''Can You Duet'' (which formed new musical duos) zig-zagged this trope. Season 1 winners Caitlin & Will broke up after only one single, while third-placers Joey + Rory released three albums for Vanguard Records and have a massive fanbase despite being a [[No-Hit Wonder]] (possibly because Rory Lee Feek is a prominent songwriter as well). Season 2 winners Steel Magnolia had a moderately successful debut album, although fifth-place O'Shea already had a following and some awards in their native Australia.

* In a way, Gwen from ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' (the runner up of the first season) because she is better liked by the fanbase.
