This is a fun one. I must admit, hidden pleasures is a lot of music produced by past contestants from American Idol. I know, cheesy, but IMO there are actually some really stuff. Adam Lambert is fantastic, with Queen, I mean come on the guy is amazing. Some other rockers, Bo Bice's debut is good, guy named Caleb Johnson put out a good album, check out the album Constantine Maroulis put out. He's more known on Broadway, but his singing is underrated, David Cook, straight up rocker, & James Durbin, ditto. And then on the pop/country side, Katharine McPhee, her second album, Kellie Pickler, Lauren Alaina and then flat out superstars, Kelly Clarkson and my personal favorite, Carrie Underwood. Okay rip away..... :)
