American Idol continues to make its presence known around Grammy Awards time.
Veterans Chris Daughtry and Fantasia both made the list with multiple nominations, announced Thursday.
Daughtry, who came in fourth in season five, was nominated for four awards: best pop vocal ("Home"), best rock vocal ("It's Not Over"), best rock song ("It's Not Over") and best rock album (Daughtry).
Fifth-season winner Taylor Hicks was not in the running.
Former Idol winner Fantasia got a nod for best R&B performance (“When I See You”) and best R&B album (Fantasia). "When I See You" was also nominated for best song -- that award goes to the songwriters -- as was former Idol winner Carrie Underwood's “Before He Cheats.”
The list of Idol alumni who have turned their music into gold continues to grow, and it includes multiple Grammy winners Kelly Clarkson and Underwood, Oscar and Golden Globes winner Jennifer Hudson and Clay Aiken.
The Grammy Awards will be broadcast Sunday, Feb. 10 on CBS.

The article doesn't say Clay Aiken won a Golden Globe. Read it again. It said "Golden Globe winner(not winners) Jennifer Hudson, and Clay Aiken." They're just saying he's made gold out of being on idol. That, he has done, and would be even bigger is only given airplay like the rest of these alumni. They're all very talented. Good luck to them all at the Grammy's.

Did Taylor Hicks even release a album? I haven't heard a word about him since the end of the show that year.
