Appearances on earlier seasons or other talent shows

  • Ivonne Acero sang in the blind auditions for season eight, but failed to turn any chairs.
  • Keith Semple lost his "golden ticket" on the ninth season of American Idol due to his legal status and residency considerations and was a winner on Popstars: The Rivals, a British singing competition; consequently, he became a member of the boyband One True Voice (OTV) in 2002.
  • Viktor Kirly previously competed to represent Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest, an international song contest in Europe, 2 times in 2012 (with his siblings, including another well-known singer in Hungary Linda Kirly) and 2014, and both times nearly winning the competition. He has also won the 4th season of Megasztr, a show similar to American Idol.
