What Every "American Idol" Winner Is Up to Now

After beating out Clay Aiken in season two of the show in 2003, Ruben Studdard released seven studio albums, including his debut, "Soulful," which reached No. 1 on the US charts and featured his winner's single, "Flying Without Wings." In December 2018, he made his Broadway theater debut in a show with Aiken called "Ruben & Clay's First Annual Christmas Carol Family Fun Pageant Spectacular Reunion Show."

Studdard and Aiken appeared together on the 2023 "American Idol" finale and sang with the show's newest final two contestants.
