Katie Waissel
Katie Waissel gained fame on X Factor, and although she didn’t get booted, she didn’t win either, finishing in seventh place. This was good enough to garner attention from Jay-Z and his Takeover Roc Nation record label. She didn’t sign up with them, though.
Waissel has since released a solo album and started a band called Red Velvet Lovers, coming out with three songs in 2013. She also featured in Celebrity Big Brother and left the house in eighth place. She has since come out of her shell and can be seen regularly with no makeup on.
