* Season 6: Melissa Lawson
!Tropes present:
* GuestHost: During Season 3, Sara Evans filled in for [=LeAnn=] on two episodes.
* {{Irony}}: Blake said of the show, "In order for the show to have credibility and for it to take another step, we need a Music/CarrieUnderwood to come out of it." Not long afterward, he married Season 1 third-placer Music/MirandaLambert, easily the biggest star the show has produced.
* RecycledInSpace: ''American Idol'' [[AC:WITH COUNTRY MUSIC!]]
* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: Zig-zagged.
** Season 1: winner Buddy Jewell had a strong start: his first two singles both went to #3 on country and cracked Top 40 on the Hot 100 and his debut album went gold, but the second album completely tanked). The aforementioned Lambert had modest success from the get-go, but didn't really break through until her third album, ''Revolution'', in 2009.
** Season 2: Winner Brad Cotter got into the Top 40 with "I Meant To", but disappeared after his debut album. Runner-up George Canyon went on to have far more success in his native Canada.
** Season 3 was a draw: Erika Jo had one album with a dud single, while runner-up Jason Meadows did one indie album and didn't chart with any of his five singles.
** Season 4: Chris Young. Despite a dud of a first album, he picked up momentum the second time around, scoring a gold album with ''The Man I Want to Be'' and sending five consecutive singles to #1 on the country charts.
** Season 5: Winner Angela Hacker got a contract with Warner Bros., but her only release for it was a CD full of demos she made while on the show. Her younger brother, Zac, never released anything. Fifth-place Whitney Duncan also got a contract with Warner, releasing a full album and two [=EPs=], also charting a couple minor singles. Even seventh-placer Kacey Musgraves did somewhat better, as she got a couple videos on CMT, tours with John Mayer and Music/LadyAntebellum, and a charting single with the Josh Abbott Band in 2012.
** Season 6: Winner Melissa Lawson signed with Warner Bros. and fell just short of Top 40 with her single "What If It All Goes Right". Fourth-place Coffey Anderson has had minor success as an indie Christian artist, and Justin Gaston got a few TV gigs.
* SiblingRivalry: Angela Hacker beat her younger brother, Zac Hacker, in Season 5.
