Idols may well be a fantastic platform for catapulting unknowns to national and international stardom, but it isn't always the case.
No one could have guessed that when Connell Cruise entered Idols Season 6 in 2010 that his star would have risen as it has five years later, despite how he did on that show.
Cruise, now based in New York, is a bonafide pop star, with a soulful sensibility to boot.
