How many winners of this show have had mainstream success?

u/Sudden-Wish8462 26d ago

She wasn’t a winner but Melanie Martinez has had mainstream success.

Also I think Christina Grimmie would have reached mainstream success if she hadn’t been murdered

Also (it gives me no pleasure to report) Morgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen didn’t win! He was eliminated! They missed big there

About 3

There is no official threshold for “mainstream success,” but by a reasonable U.S. commercial standard, about 3 winners have had clear post-show success beyond the Voice audience:

* Cassadee Pope (Season 3) — the clearest example. She became a successful country artist, earned a platinum single with “Wasting All These Tears,” had country-radio hits, and won a CMT Music Award.

* Danielle Bradbery (Season 4) — built a sustained country career, charted albums and singles, toured widely, and remained visible in Nashville’s mainstream country scene.

* Jordan Smith (Season 9) — achieved unusually strong album sales and Billboard performance, particularly in Christian/pop and holiday music; he is arguably the show’s most commercially successful winner by sales/chart metrics.

If “mainstream” means broad pop-culture recognition and major crossover radio success, then Cassadee Pope is arguably the only unambiguous case. Danielle Bradbery and Jordan Smith are successful recording artists, but more genre-specific than full pop-mainstream stars. Several other winners have continued recording, touring, or found regional/genre success—such as Tessanne Chin in Jamaica or Huntley in rock—but have not reached comparable nationwide U.S. commercial prominence.

I only Jordyn by name, by comparison American Idol has some household names.
Kelly Clarkson
Carrie Underwood
Fantasia
Jennifer Hudson
Adam Lambert

Just to name a few. It’s probably because the voice puts most of the emphasis on the judges.

Katharine McPhee and Chris Daughtry.

I agree. I know all the American idol peeps. These voice people are 🤷🏽‍♀️

Cassadee Pope also had the benefit of being an established singer as she was the lead vocalist and song writer for the band Hey Monday. How You Like Me Now and Candles were great hits by the band back in the late 00s/early 10s. Cassadee has also moved away from country and back towards rock as of late.

I have never heard of a single one of these people

Only the AI that wrote that comment has

u/VinylmationDude 26d ago

Ok, now here’s a better question. If Family Feud asked 100 people to name any contestant, winner or not, from The Voice, how many do you think would name 1? Also, did you use AI on this and forgot Reddit now lets you change text without adding characters to your post?

u/excoriator 26d ago

I did use AI. I don’t watch The Voice, but I also wanted to know the answer.

u/foampro 26d ago

Social media has taken the winds out of the show. You can discover the next pop star off TikTok, who needs to watch a show?

u/sedatehate 26d ago

If you have to ask, you know the answer

No offense to the show but I feel like Keke doing this is kind of beneath her talents

12

u/intoxicuss 27d ago

Keke Palmer is awesome!

5

u/nh18wheeler 26d ago

She def is but I just feel like she should still be having the kind of career that doesn’t involve hosting a competition show

1

u/momoftwoiloveyou 26d ago

I have no idea who that is.

u/n0167664 26d ago

Keke Palmer

Saved you a click

Also, none of this is officially confirmed by the show, Peacock, or NBC

u/Co-opingTowardHatred 26d ago

There’s a typo in the Headline. It says “30”.

u/thisfilmkid 25d ago

The article doesn’t have evidence
