I was just wondering if anyone would like to name their top three performances from each series?

Either top three from this series, top three from each series or overall top three... or maybe even all three if you're feeling adventurous.

I'll just stick with my top three from this series for now, but will probably list my top three from each series and my overall top three once I have a trip down Memory Lane, with the help of the ever-faithful YouTube.

So...

1. Fantasia Barrino - 'I Believe'.
2. Syesha Mercado - 'One Rock & Roll Too Many'.
3. Latoya London - 'All By Myself'.

Notable mentions to Paris Bennett singing 'Fever' and 'Kiss', Carly Smithson singing 'Come Together' and Fantasia Barrino singing 'Summetime'.

Of course, there are heaps of others I enjoyed, but I found those I've named to be absolutely brilliant.

Anyone else fancy a go?

David Cook and Jordin Sparks, at least most weeks but particularly with Music of the Night and I Who Have Nothing respectively - even if these weren't their best performances which I think would be very hard to call, they both had a real wow factor about them!

Kristy Lee Cook's the other one who really wowed me! I was/am a consistent fan of hers but her turning point was "God Bless The USA" so I'll vote for that one, not such a popular opinion I know but what I don't know is why!

Those are certainly 3 of my favourites ever, although I do have many more, and to change it to a top 3 from this year you could substitute Jordin's IWHN for anything else by David or Kristy!

Just for fun i will add my three worst from this year too

Carly - Total Eclipse (to be fair it's partly because of the song, don't mess with it if you can't do it well!)

Ramiele - I Should've Known Better - Complete mess!

Jason - Michelle - Sticks in my mind as being terrible!

I'm bored , so....... :
