The Next "American Idol" Trivia Quiz

Answer: "Isn't He Lovely"

Christina Christian, the Caribbean/ American beauty originally from Brooklyn, New York was the fifth person voted off of "American Idol: The Search for a Superstar" on August 7, 2002.

Answer: "Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah)"

"Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah)" made Nikki McKibbin wail for the live studio audience. Justin Guirani sang "Route 66" and RJ Helton sang "I Won't Dance". Tamyra Gray sang "Minnie the Moocher" to open the "Big Band Show". Nikki almost made it to the finals-- missing it by one show.

She was the 8th person voted off. She was picked up by RCA/ 19 Entertainment after the end of the show.

Answer: Kelly Clarkson

According to Kelly, after her first stint in LA, she was very wary of coming back. Her friends heard about auditions in Dallas, Texas, and filled out the paperwork for her. Kelly went on to become one of the "favorites" of the competition. Kelly ended up being crowend THE American Idol on September 4, 2002.

Her first single "A Moment Like This" made the biggest leap in the Billboard Charts history-- debuting at 52 the week after the show only to jump 51 places to number one the next week. "American Idol" indeed!

Answer: Last Dance

Fate stepped in and chose the disco hit "Last Dance" by Donna Summer for Ryan Starr's last performance on "American Idol: The Search for a Superstar". She was the fourth person voted off on July 31, 2002.

Answer: Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel L. Jackson announced on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" that he was pulling for his "cousin, Justin" to win "American Idol: The Search for a Supestar". Justin became the runner up in "American Idol: The Search for a Superstar".

Answer: Justin Guarini

Showing that even "favorites" can fall from grace, Justin was almost voted off the next week after apologizing to Simon. He later redeemed himself the week after apologizing, pulling out a show-stopping performance.

Answer: "Walk on By"

Although the group did not perform a song for the final 10 round, the final 8 performed "California Dreamin'" by the Mamas & the Papas. The final seven performed Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World", and the final six (minus the hospitalized Christina Christian) sang the standard "American Bandstand". Kelly Clarkson chose "Walk on By" for the "Love Songs of Burt Bacharach" theme.

Answer: "I Will Always Love You"

Tamyra did not chose to go with the Dolly Parton/ Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" like many of the other female contestants did during the run of "American Idol". She instead focused on different artists such as Tina Turner, Diana Ross, and Jennifer Holliday. Tamyra was the seventh person voted off "American Idol". Tamyra has since been signed by 19 Entertainment and RCA records, as well as scoring a deal with FOX to make appearances on such hit shows as "Boston Public" and "Tru Calling".

Answer: Tiffany Montgomery

After becoming one of the final 30 contestants, Tiffany Montgomery changed her name to "Ryan Starr". Although no explanation was given by the show, it is thought that she might have changed it because people remembered her name from the show "Popstars", which she was in with other fellow Top 30 contesants, Tenia Taylor, Alexandra Bachelier, and Angela Peel. Ryan, however, was the only one to make it to the final 10, finally being cut in round four.

Answer: Kelly Clarkson

On September 4, 2002, Kelly Clarkson of Burleson, Texas became THE American Idol on national television. The final show was watched by a staggering 28 million people. Congratulations Kelly!
