Play video content TMZ.comFormer "American Idol" winner Samantha "Just Sam" Diaz says their unglamorous return to singing in New York City subways for money isn't the final chapter -- instead, the bounce back is underway. Just Sam joined us Friday on "TMZ Live" and told us why winning a show like 'Idol' isn't always all it's cracked up to be ... especially under some very unique and onerus circumstances. While lots of folks, Sam included, look at 'Idol' as a potential golden ticket to fame and fortune ... the non-binary singer says the reality is quite different. Sam says a perfect storm resulted in their returning to their subway roots to make cash. Now, Sam says they have a few collabs in the works, and they aren't afraid to go a different route to make it in the music biz.
