Candice Glover's flawless rendition of "Lovesong" comes to mind.

I probably had the most favorites on that season, but two of them were Carly and Syesha and they were seriously bussed every week. Syesha especially, she got it bad

Haley was also bussed a good bit. The thing about Season 10 that pissed me off was that the judges praised everybody the same at first, everybody was always amazing and they were always giving standing ovations. A lot of the viewing public can't decide for themselves and they just listen to what the judges say to form their opinions.....and I feel like this is one of the things that lead to Pia's elimination, which IMO was the most unjust elimination in Idol history. Randomly mid season, they started being really harsh on Haley and praising everyone else.

Haley talking back here is great


4:25ish is when she starts looking pissed and speaking up, then at around 4:58ish
Randy: "My opinion is, I didn't like it, I thought you were screaming, I thought it was a bad song choice..."
Haley: "I heard it! I know dude!"

Also that night, after everyone performed once, Ryan asked Randy who he thought won the first round and Randy said "I think the first round was a tie between Scotty, Lauren, and James"....everybody but Haley


ETA: I found video of it 0:48....Randy's rude comment and Haley's laugh followed by her bitch face after it


They were so biased and harsh on Haley that it was almost funny.

Sigh, watching all of these makes me miss Idol when it was at its peak. Idol at its peak>>>>>the other singing shows combined. Everything about it was so perfect.

Siobhan was so weird



The Bb5 in that performance It shocked me when I first saw this performance live

4:50 where she's explaining how she learned how to hit high notes, she is so odd But I loved it.

She had a really polarizing voice though. I never liked her, except for her performance of "I Believe"

Here's a video someone made of the best 50, I'm watching now

They should have picked the semi finals performance of Respect over the finale performance, her voice was like gone by the finale

And she gave the best performance in Idol history right after that commercial break I bet her being angry definitely helped.

So many people hated this, but it was my favourite performance of Season 5! Queen of Country Kellie, and I'm sure she ended up being the best-selling from her season

I liked this one! I think she had better, but I still really liked it. Kellie was so inconsistent, she had some really rough ones, but she was so cute and likable

Season 5 was def one of the best seasons.

Daughtry disagrees.

Carrie Underwood "Alone"

Jordin Sparks "I Who Have Nothing"

Jessica Sanchez "I Will Always Love You"

Bo Bice "In A Dream"

Ugh I just got to Jacob Lusk in that Top 50 video....I thought he was extremely overrated and over the top. And he made himself SO unlikable when he said this before he performed Man in the Mirror:
"If I am in the bottom 3, it won't be because I sang the song bad, it won't be because I sang the song wrong, it'll be because everybody in America wasn't ready to look at themselves in the mirror"

mte Daughtry was without a doubt the most successful from that season. I'd say that Kat is the 2nd most successful, then Kellie.

Oh I forgot about him. So Kellie is 2nd then, outselling the winner and runner-up

Kellie is the 8th best selling contestant of all-time, Katharine is 20th.

I meant overall, not just with record sales. Katharine has had success with movies and TV, and she is about to release a new album with Columbia. Her first album was kind of a rushed album full of stuff that was forced upon her, it wasn't really all her.....her 2nd was on a tiny label with not much of a push. Her new one will probably give her the biggest opportunity out of her others.

Adam wasn't my cup of tea but he had some that I really enjoyed
