Yeah I refer to it as the singing show blessing/curse. Most people can’t remember who was the winner from two years ago, much less anyone from the top 5 from the previous season. Add to that the clauses they probably sign once they get in the show (I believe they can’t go on their own for a certain amount of time). And they’re pretty much back to obscurity, regardless of how many followers they earned on social media. People have simply moved on to the new season contestants.
