Season 6

Season 7.

David Archuleta, Brooke White, Carly Smithson, David Cook, Michael Johns (RIP) >>>>>

5 or 7.

I think 5 was overall better but it has a terrible ending compared to 7.

5/6 is where the talent peaked.

5 was ruined by Taylor winning though.....

Adam Lambert was so amazing and pushing the boundaries. 8.

Season 10

Haley Reinhart's underdog is the stuff of legends. Best Idol contestant ever (let's be real Kelly and Carrie were only great after the show, Kelly's Stuff Like That There aside)

I stopped watching after David Archuleta lost
my favorite was maybe the one with Nicki Minaj

1 because it had the best winner

The first 5. Season 6 is when it started to die and anything after that is tragic Should have been cancelled by season 10 at the latest.

Proof that opinions can be wrong

Because diva ballads and Motown songs are so exciting.


Kelly's run on the show was so boring to me outside of Stuff Like That There. It wasn't just her, everyone was boring. She sounded amazing, but none of them were that exciting.

EDIT: I forgot her iconic whistle Natural Woman. So two performances against most of Haley's performances...Haley wins.

As for Carrie, she was incredible stiff and boring on the show. She's a phenomenal performer, and I loved the **** out of Blown Away, but she didn't impress me on the show #VotedforBoBice.

Season 1. Seasons 2 & 4 were great too and 5 was good.

Season 10 for sure, lbr.

HALEY REINHART and Casey Abrams >>>>>>>>>>

5 was such an exciting season.

Kelly & Justin
Tamyra's shock elimination

Delano falsifying his age
