Australian version - Altiyan
Also that Belgium x factor winner, Tom Dice i think? He always played the guitar, was in Eurovision. He's awesome!
Tom Dice(Belgium),
Darin ,Anna Bergandahl (Sweden)
Sebastien Agius(France) ,
Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks (America)

Adam Lambert, David Cook, Matt Cardle.
I have also liked some aspect of Siobhan Magnus, Lee Dewyze, Rhydian, Leon Jackson, Ruth Lorenzo and Cher Lloyd.
Jason Castro
Constantine Maroulis
Will Young
David Cook
Clay Aiken
Elliot Yamin
Chris Richardson

One of the best Eurovision entries in recent years
Loved Elliot on the show. He should have been in the final with Taylor. Loved it when he kicked everyone's ass (vocally) on Elvis night to get into final 3.
Kelly Clarkson
Lakeisha Jones
Elliot Yamin
David Archuleta (cheesy, but loved his voice)
Amanda Overmyer
Kris Allen
Allison Iraheta
Crystal Bowersox
Lee Dewyze
Lilly Scott
XF:
Leona Lewis (I just started watching XF the last 2 seasons, so don't know anyone pre-S6 other than Leona)
Lucie Jones
Rachel Adedeji
Cher Lloyd
Edit: Also Jennifer Hudson and Jordin Sparks.
OOooh. YES YES YES. When he sang 'Trouble' and gave everyone an unexpected sucker punch was one of my personal highlights. haha. Was even more beautiful considering that Tommy Motolla was being such a prickish mentor and thought Elliot was gonna flop on the night. And him rounding it off with an effortlessly soulful rendition of 'If I Could Dream' has to be one of my all time fav Idol performances.
Second? Huh, as a Belgian I honestly didn't even know there was an X Factor competition going on here :rolleyes:
We only get to know Tom Dice because of Eurovision.
He's a nice guy, but already lost in obscurity now.
Well... the standard is pretty low, so that's not really an achievement.
I wouldn't dare to put Tom Dice in the same ranking as Adam Lambert and Kelly Clarkson, but to each his own.
He's a good singer Jana.I wouldn't compare him to the American Idol singers but I think he's better than many male soloists we've seen on X Factor UK in recent years : he's an excellent musician and always sings in tune.
