My favourites have been:
Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Hudson, Leah Labelle (from Season 3, check her out YouTube now she's changed so much and is awesome!!) Katherine McPhee, Taylor Hicks, Paris Bennett, Melinda Doolittle, Chris Daughtry, Jordin Sparks, David Cook. My personal favourite overall is Jennifer Hudson, and Fantasia a very close second! I think they're both absolutely amazing, not only their voices but as people too.

Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, David Cook.... just a few standouts but they would wipe the floor with everybody on any series of X Factor.

I only watched S7, and I felt that the best singer was Carly Smithson. My favourites were Carly, Brooke, Jason and KLC.
Kelly Clarkson's my favourite overall, and I think she's by far the best natural singer. Fantasia's brilliant also. Not fussed on Carrie; she's had good post-Idol stuff, but her performances were all very 'meh' IMO. Didn't see the big deal with 'Alone', which Carly did a lot better with this year. As far as the Davids go...I think they're both pretty boring too. Good singers though. |

In regards to S8...
There have been spoilers, and this guy's gotten to Hollywood, apparently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od3sb...ic=585864&st=0 Watch it, seriously. He's scarily good. =O Watch the end in particular. |

i didnt get him atall thought it was abit weird tbh,
any1 remember lakisha she sang it better imo http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE0vKwDC6Ps I can see why people would find him grating though. I haven't seen his other performances/songs, but I think it's important to bear in mind that that song's grating no matter what; it's supposed to be over-dramatic and uber-belty and OTT. |

LaKisha's was good, but I didn't think it was as good as people claimed. Listen to/wath the Jennifer Holliday version; there's such a huge gap in quality between hers and LaKisha. However, I think this guy is up there, I honestly do.

Watch the Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holliday Duet at the BET awards. That was scary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCQwF5AMnZc Hudson hits some crazy notes, and although Holliday is nowhere near as good as she used to be, she still does well. Only these two sing this song well in my opinion, it is their song now. |

Jennifer Holiday scares the heck out of me with her facial expressions!! but her original recording of that was amazing, affter watching Dreamgirls the movie though, i'll always think of it as Jennifer Hudson's song. She killed it. Phenomenal!! I'm so tired of that song now though...

There's only ever been one A.I winner I've liked. Never bought any CD's though, but I thought her personality was lovely. Can't even remember her name now.
She had blonde hair, and sang like a hill billy.

Series 2-Ruben Stoddard, Clay Aitken, Kimberly Locke
Series 3-Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Hudson, Latoya London (Still amazed she got knocked out when she did) Series 4-Carrie Underwood Series 5-Chris Daughtry should have won but in any case, he has had great success I think Series 2 and 3 have had the strongest top 5. I've been slightly disappointed by the last 2 series. |

Last season was the only one I followed enough to have a fave and it was Brooke. Was glad DC won the final, though, because hoarse boy was really getting on my nerves by then. Clear your throat, laddie! I'll probably try follow it from the start this coming season as well and fingers crossed I won't die from cheese overdose.

American Idol wipes the floor with x-factor seriously! None of the contestents on x-factor this year could even compete with the majority of the AI top 12 from any year!
I feel sorry for Simon having to come back and judge the X-factor talent having seen what is on offer in the States! My favourite AI contestant is Fantasia - just such unique raw talent. Watch her performance of Fool in Love and compare it to anything we have seen on x-factor! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXoyOkh70Sc Also loved Taylor Hicks, David Cook, David Archeleta and Carly Simithson. |
