Not strictly X-Factor...but there are enough 'old hands' in here to warrant the question....and i didnt want to put it on the reality TV forum.

Who has been your all time favourite three out of any Idol, Popstars, FameAcad etc.

For me:

1. Fantasia
2. Roooooben
3. Will


In terms of the impact at the time though:

1. Will (the final of all finals, and hoping each week he would do a 'Will' version of a song)
2. Roooooben (the second final of all finals)
3. Fantasia (was head and shoulders and was obviously going to win so wasn't amazing TV

1.Susanne Manning (Pop Idol 2)
2. Will Young
3. Fantasia

Good thread!

Easy for me totally obsessed with Fantasia like no other singer , reality show or not . Next would come Will who was a worthy winner and has proved that he has the talent to continue beyond Pop idol . I did like Alex from Fame academy , but what became of her

Glad you like it.

I thought Susanne was very marketable. Fantastic looking girl - very photogenic, and an interesting voice. Distinctive style both in terms of dress and delivery of song. Without sounding like Cowell, she managed to make every song 'her own' which is a lot more than 95% of them can do.

Susanne's great! Maybe there's still hope for her to make a break yet...she's doing little gigs here and there..but her voice could be so much more than that! I'm thinking #1 albums here! haha..sorry, I get carried away..I just think she has an amazing voice! It's nice to see that other peeps liked her too!

malachi, sinead and katie from fa1
barry, alistair, james and alex from fa2
korben pi1
michelle pi2
nobody ai1
fantasia and the runner up (sorry forgot her name ) ai2

glad you picked your top 3.

well out of that little lot it would be

sinead
korben
michelle

LOL. We couldn't be further apart in our musical tastes.

Malachi & Ainsley FA1 (I miss them terribly )
Peter & Paris FA2
Will PI1

Alex FA2
Roxanne PI2 - how did she get voted off so early??

Paris-F2
Zoe-P1
Fantasia

Alex was very good but her style of music is not really my thing so i will not vote for her and also Lemar is great (and btw his new single is excellent) but i just did not think that the show gave him the best songs to sing for his voice.
Simone from FA was such a lovely person as well and that always rates highly with me.

I wont include x factor, as I havent heard any of them sing a whole song yet.

1) Alex . FA2 (Currently recording her second album)
2) Will PI1. (Like Alex, went away for a year before releasing second album, good move).
3) Close between any of the following, Susanne PI2, Roxanne PI2, Sinead, Malachi, Katie, FA1.

Lol THMS. our tastes are closer than I thought!

Except Korben, Alistair and James maybe ,
I must admit I did have a soft spot for Barry, didnt like his singing style to much, but liked his character and he did give his all in his stage performances.

Will
Hayley (PI 1) - thought she had a great voice
diana degarmo - runner up to Fanatasia (whose voice I don't like - controversial !!!)

WILL
WILL
WILL
