Hi all! It’s been EONS since I posted on here (and yes, I’m one of those old-school members from when I joined Idolforums 16 years ago). So I was wondering...which contestants did you really like when Idol aired on Fox? Season 1: Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Gray, and RJ Helton Season 2: Clay Aiken and Kimberley Locke Season 3: Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia Season 4: Constantine Maroulis and Bo Bice Season 5: Chris Daughtry Season 6: Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolittle Season 7: Michael Johns (still shocked by his sudden passing) and Carly Smithson Season 8: ADAM LAMBERT (I was completely invested in him) Season 9: Crystal Bowersox Season 10: Haley Reinhart Season 11: Joshua Ledet Season 12: Candice Glover Season 13: Jena Irene Season 14: Clark Beckham Season 15: Trent Harmon

Favorites: Season 5 (I was pulling for Chris to win), Season 8 (I remembered voting about 700 times for Adam Lambert throughout the season), and Season 11 (because Joshua Ledet) Least Favorite: Season 9 (the season felt so dull and the fact that it was Simon’s very last one made it sad) and Season 12 (for obvious reasons)
