Contractually speaking, "undiscovered" can mean anything the AI powers want it to mean.
Jennifer Hudson was working professionally before going on AI. She was singing professionally on cruise ships. So she certainly was "discovered" at that level of show biz.
Jennifer was on AI two years ago, made the final 10, but got voted off somewhere around 4th place. It's was only after Kelly Clarkson's 'Breakaway' album became a huge hit that people like Jennifer and Diana seemed to get second looks from areas of the entertainment business other than the recording biz.
That could be a coincidence, but a lot of people don't think so. Kelly's success brought a level of credibility to the show that no other modern reality show could possibly claim. In any case, good for Jennifer and Diana. I wish them well.
Exactly...their show, their rules.

She's really paved the way, hasn't she.

Wish I could see "Hairspray" with Diana's special spunk!
More like 7th. That was the Elton John hissy-fit week where he claimed racism, completely ignoring all of the weeks where the bottom three was completly filled by the white kids.
