Top 10 American Idol Performances
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!
