Lambert also captured the nation's imagination when he competed on the eighth season of "American Idol."

Iraheta, the vibrantly red-haired "American Idol" rocker, was the youngest contestant in the show's history (age 16) to make it past the top 12. With her powerful, raspy voice, spunky personality and captivating, weekly performances, Iraheta made it through to the season's Top 4. Her debut album, Just Like You, on 19 Recordings/Jive Records, is set for release on December 1st.
