So, in honor of the new season of American Idol (and quite possibly, the last) I thought I would list my favorite performances from all eight seasons.
This was hard. I’ve enjoyed a lot of contestants over the years. American Idol is a great show and I look forward to moments that will go down in history. When it comes to my Top 10, each of these performances has changed the way I hear the song. I don’t hear the original anymore, I hear these versions in my head instead.
My personal Top 10 favorite American Idol performances:
*Honorable mentions: David Cook – Billy Jean and Matt Giraud – Who’s Lovin You
10.Ruben Studdard – Superstar
9. Kathrine McPhee – Somewhere Over the Rainbow
8. Jason Castro – Hallelujah
7. Bo Bice – Whipping Post
6. Carrie Underwood – Alone
5. Jordin Sparks – I Who Have Nothing
4. Chris Daughtry – I Walk the Line
3. Tamyra Gray – A House is Not a Home
2. Kelly Clarkson – Natural Woman
1. Fantasia Barrino – Summertime
Any performances missing from the list above that are your favorites? Feel free to comment below.
I loved Kat’s version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow! (: (Equal to Jason’s version just because both were so different from each other.)
I was a fan of Elliot
Cindy – Yes, I loved Jason’s version of “SOTR” as well! But Kat’s was just so vocally amazing, I had to include it. I wasn’t even a fan of her during the season.
Alison – Aww, Elliot was one of my favorites too! He had some great performances. His version of “A Song For You” would be on my Top 15 favorites.
I haven’t seen walk the line yet, but I guess I will have to see it. Most of the reviews I read say it is really great.
I should also mention that Carrie Underwood’s “Alone” is one of my top favorites on american idol.
Love her!
everyone wants to watch americal idol because we love to hear beautiful voices. **”
