It's been 22 years since"American Idol" introduced the world to unknown singers who would become household names, like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson — and a former college football player affectionately dubbed the Velvet Teddy Bear.
While his journey after the show has taken him to world tours, a platinum selling album, Broadway and back, Studdard says he still remembers those"Idol" days fondly. A lot has changed since Studdard won the show. Recent winners haven't enjoyed the success or the staying power of those first big names.RUBEN STUDDARD: Well, I think that everybody has taken a page from their playbook. I mean, you have"The Voice," you have, all these other shows that are competing with"American Idol." and that's fine too.
Just like the longevity of his older hits, Ruben says some things never change — like trips to his childhood church, where he grew up singing. That was his first big stage — where the support was abundant.
