Earlier I said I have a few winners who I'd rank below Lee. Well, Scotty is one of them. He was probably the least versatile winner the show has had. Also, he was one of the most predictable winners. I knew the crown was his to lose once "baby lock dem doors" came out of his mouth during his audition. Everyone else was competing for second at that point. With that said, he was one of the few teenagers (especially among the boys) who had and still has a concrete music identity and never swayed from it. My favorite performances from him were "Gone" "You've Got A Friend", and "That's All Right". He's carved a nice career for himself and while I don't actively seek his music, I've come to enjoy some of his songs when I do hear them.   Speaking of predictable winners, Phillip was the easiest one to predict in Idol history. People were calling him the winner if he made the voting rounds once his audition aired. I believe Nigel confirmed that Phillip ran away with the votes after Colton's elimination. I focused primarily on other contestants during the season; however, he became the one I was the most interested in once the Top 3 came around. He wasn't the best vocalist nor was he the most consistent (his Top 5 showing was especially rough); however, he had an intriguing style and gave some solid performances. "U Got It Bad", "Volcano", and "We've Got Tonight" were my favorites from him. I also enjoyed his duets with Elise despite how awkward he looked during them.  Finally, "Home" is one of the better coronation songs (it can be argued that it's the best) and helped springboard his career. While he may be a prototypical WGWG, he's in the upper half in my list of winners.
