    I won’t be solving the clues since I think @miss denise got them all right! :thumbsup: 

     

    25. Logan Johnson- OMG what?! 😱 Logan Johnson at #25? Unacceptable... ☹️ Another one of ABC’s gems (in the looks department, for this response’s purposes.) He is just so naturally good-looking! 😀 He looked great during every one of his performances. 😤 That picture just won’t do @Crisis (you can find others down below. ⬇️) Also, you don’t want to know how mad I was when he didn’t win the “second chance audition” (but maybe that was for the better since Layla mysteriously disappeared in Hollywood. 🤣) In my opinion, he was the victim of the biggest robbery of this ranking (so far.)

    24. RJ Helton- You’re telling me RJ ranked higher than Logan?! 😱😔 What is this sorcery?! 🤣 View my write-up for my full thoughts. I have no regrets. 😜

     

    23. Colton Dixon- I never understood the hype behind his looks unfortunately. 😕 However, the realization that he is now a loving father warms my heart. 🥰

     

    22. Rayvon Owen- I loved the way he was dressed on the show, especially the fedoras. It really added to his appeal. 😁 Looking back now, I probably should have ranked him higher. 😅 


    21. Clark Beckham- I disagree @JC, I think @Crisispicked a great picture for Clark! :thumbsup: I love that you mentioned his eyes because they truly are a sight to behold. 😊 I put him in the late teens because he looks good, but there are others who look better in my opinion. 

     

     

    25. I expected nothing less! :dead: Fine, I'll add the pictures when I have the time. 😉 Of course Archie had to be included! 🤣 After that Layla diss, I guess I don't feel that bad after all. 😂

     

    24. 🤣

     

    23. Fair enough. It's good to see he's a loving father.

     

    22. I pretty much agree with everything here.

     

    21. At least someone appreciates my choice of pictures, though it's short-lived based on a future post. :haha: Pretty much agree with everything else.

    25. Kimberly Caldwell- Definitely overrated in the looks department... I always thought she looked very intimidating and mean. 😰 It didn’t really help that she sounded that way when she sang on the show. Her issue with Julia in Hollywood Week certainly doesn’t help her case either... Overall, overrated in the looks department + she’s scary= bad. This placement isn’t too bad for her, even though I would’ve had her a little lower. 😊

     

    24. Katelyn Epperly- I really don’t know why I expected her to look better, but let’s just say I was heavily disappointed when I saw pictures of her. 😅 She looks ok, but I would’ve had her in the 30s. 
     

    23. Didi Benami- I expected to place her much lower than #23, but after looking up pictures I found some gems. Unfortunately, your picture isn’t one of them... 😅 That’s ok though, since we all have different tastes. :hug: 

     

    22. Janelle Arthur- Definitely the prettiest lady from Season 12 (which is a huge compliment, considering there were a lot of them!) The thing that’s so great about Janelle is that she looks pretty AND her voice is pretty. In my opinion, she has the prettiest voice in Idol history, so while she’s #14 for me, she’s #1 in that department. :clap:

     

    21. Makayla Phillips- Makayla is an interesting contestant for me because she looks really good in some photos and in others she doesn’t look as great. 😅 I still placed her at #13 though because when she looks good, she looks good! 😍 The picture you chose is one of her not so good looks in my opinion. I would have either chosen her Hollywood Round 1 look or her Hawaii Showcase Round look. Makayla can also rock any hair color, so she gets points for that. :thumbsup: While she is my favorite from Season 18, she is not my #1 in the looks department... 

     

    48fc77b0-6802-11ea-a9c8-e3cf57aec208_800

     

    25. I can't say I disagree with anything here. Looking back, I can see how she could come across as intimidating and mean.

     

    24. I'm pretty much the opposite. :haha: Fair enough about the opinion though.

     

    23. I actually wanted to use a different picture, but I wasn't satisfied with the size or quality of it. I personally think it's a nice picture of her. 🤷‍♂️ Fair enough about her.

     

    22. Nice to see the high opinion of her both looks and voice wise! 😄

     

    21. Fine, since my lack of picture picking skills are so bothersome, I'll just post the rankings and write-ups and have others pick the pictures to add later. 😢 😆 I guess that's a decent picture of her. Fair enough about everything else.

    Haha thanks, I definitely have it bad when it comes to guys I obsess over. :dead: :blushingwave: I certainly do and they did talk about collaborating together, so I will be patiently waiting!!:wub: They did do a live stream together that had me going crazy. :giggle: LOL I haven't known who anyone unmasked was yet, but they were so off on Baby Alien. LOL the costume was so interesting too. He was by far the weakest of the group though, so I was good with that cut.  Haha I totally get that about Nicole, as I feel the same regarding certain people. :giggle: LOL has he really? :dead: I did not even notice! Ken needs some new clothes!  Ughhhhhh noooo. I was depressed enough the previous week when ICSYV wasn't on. :dead: Mainly because I was looking forward to it and didn't know it wasn't on until watching TMS. Boooo baseball always ruining the fun. :broken: But good luck to your favorite team (if you have one). :giggle: 

     

    Oh LOL. I know very little about Pokemon, so had no clue. :lmao: 

     

    Ah, that makes sense, but is too bad. :( 

     

    Yay! Thank you for the explanations. I only couldn't figure out the Jim one for the guys, but now it makes perfect sense. I totally forgot about that. Oh LOL Tamyra's clue wasn't about her hair. :dead:  That also makes sense. I was thinking the Ashley one had to do with her relationship, but didn't remember him singing that song (and actually don't remember him at all, oops).

     

    025. Logan Johnson: Aw, I wasn't a huge fan, but I thought he was pretty cute. 

    024. RJ Helton: He's one of my S1 favorites, but I wasn't necessarily attracted to him. He's a good looking guy though. lol I love the "mini-spiky" hair description. :haha: omg yikes @Bk1234's opening comments on him! Poor RJ.  :(:dead: 

    023. Colton Dixon: Well dang, why is my ranking so much higher than the rest? :dead:  I always thought he was good looking, although I also wasn't attracted to him.... because at the same time his smile reminds me of my brother. :dead: Not okay. I didn't have a problem with hair, but what does it look like now? OMG your comments on his legs. These comments are getting almost brutal!

    022. Rayvon Owen:  Again, I was not attracted to him (seems very few I was from this show :dead: ), but he's a good looking guy. I agree he has a great smile.

    021. Clark Beckham: I also think he is a good looking guy and very cute. I agree with your comments.

     

    - Could’ve made an Idol winner pregnant: omg :dead: This clue was shocking at first, however I remember Kelly judging and saying a comment like this to Clark. :haha: So this one is him.

    - Had the fire to keep living: Rayvon (he survived the B2 a million times and he also sang Stayin' Alive)

    - Randy and Simon could’ve been more considerate: RJ (due to the fight between the judges)

    - Wasn’t meant to dance with stars: Logan (he appeared in the audition vote on DWTS, I think?)

    - Zealyn: Colton (because Angie sang a song of his)

     

    Going to comment on the girls now, but wanted to lock in my male guesses first. :shiftywave: 

     

    I saw that first hand. :giggle: I'm sure whatever those two do will be something you'll enjoy. ❤️ I can only imagine what the live stream was like. As for the unmaskings of this season, I knew who Dragon was because I've been a fan of his for years and instantly got him the moment he started his performance. I'm a football fan, so I was familiar with Baby Alien though I (and others) completely whiffed on guessing who he was. As for the other two, I've heard of them but was not all that familiar with their work. Completely understandable about feeling that way about certain people; I'll probably have a bad withdrawal the next week or two. 💔 :( :haha: Yes, he does need some new clothes. :haha: Unfortunately, my team is not playing in the World Series, but I'll still check out a game here or there.

     

    OK, completely understandable :haha:

     

    Yeah. :(

     

    :dead: at not remembering who James VIII was. I remember him because he was stylistically different from other contestants that season, and this was before it was revealed he was Ashley's boyfriend.

     

    025. Fair enough

    024. OK, I understand

    023. Ask and ye shall receive!

    As for the rest of the comments, his legs just stuck out to me. I'm trying to be as fair and nice as possible, but I obviously failed here. :dead:

    022. Fair enough

    021. 👍

     

    5/5 for the males! The clues were explained pretty clearly, so I won't go over them. However, I will say Rayvon's also had a reference of Burn, which he sang during the season.

    025. Kimberly Caldwell: I can't comment much on her "hotness", but I do think she's very pretty. :haha: 

    024. Katelyn Epperly: I also thought she was pretty and I like your comparison between her and Kimberly Schalpman. I haven't seen her "Julianne" video (or know the song), but am curious after your comments. 😮 

    023. Didi Benami: omg my ranking being so much lower, but lol she didn't stand out to me as one of the more pretty girls (although she is pretty). Ahh no, sorry for your disappointment. :( 

    022. Janelle Arthur: I can kind of echo my Didi comments for Janelle, although I ranked her quite a bit higher.  LOL at the 40 women past Hollywood comment. :lmao: 

    021. Makayla Phillips: I thought she was very beautiful. :yes: 

     

    - Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Zoology: Katelyn (because she sang The Scientist)

    - A supreme arrangement: Janelle (she sang a stripped down version of You Keep Me Hangin' On by The Supremes)

    - Got a second chance due to a big appetite: Makayla (she got saved by the judges and sang Greedy so maybe the big appetite references that song title lol?)

    - Hollywood feud: Kimberly (she was involved in an infamous feud with Julia)

    - Stop pushing the issue Ryan!: Didi (I remember something about Ryan questioning her about her friend who passed away)

     

    025. Fair enough

    024. Happy to see you like my comparison! I discovered it on a whim and outside of noticing her attractiveness, I liked the song as well. Hopefully you'll check it out and would like to see your thoughts about it.

    023. :(. I had a feeling she wasn't going to rank too high, but I'll live. 😆

    022. It was actually 40 contestants overall. Considering that the men were treated as an afterthought that season, it might as well have been 40 women. The format of was something else. :haha: Fair enough.

    021. I can see how others would feel that way. I think she could grow up to be a stunner.

     

    5/5 for the females! Once again, the clues were explained, so I won't go over them.

     

    @Bk1234, I have to leave now, but I'll definitely get to yours later. :haha:

As I said before, if anyone has any pictures they like, they can post them and I'll add them to the write-ups of said contestants. With that said, there are plenty of unflattering pictures of Nick that can counter this. :giggle:

    Kimberly is often considered to be one of the hottest American Idol contestants. While she’s not unattractive by any means, I always felt she was overrated in this department. Furthermore, I thought she wasn’t even the prettiest girl in her own season (that would be Trenyce; I have no idea how unpopular that is). With that said, I can see some of the appeal. I think she has a great smile that lights up her face. In addition, she can go through multiple hairstyles and not have them detract from her looks, with my favorite being when she has it falling at her shoulders, like in the picture above. I think this is a  fine spot for her, though it’s understandable if it’s thought she should be higher.

    Admittedly, I didn’t pay much attention to Katelyn during S9 because I was focused on other contestants. However, when I decided to look more into her for the purpose of this ranking, I started to realize how pretty she is. To me she resembles a younger prettier Kimberly Schlapman; in fact, I think the two could pass for mother and daughter. She looked fine enough during her season; however, what really made me take notice of her was her video for her song Julianne. I thought she looked really hot in it. Going into this ranking, I planned to place her somewhere in the high 20s, but I decided to place her around the midpoint after all’s been said and done.

    Aww, I was hoping she would at least be in the teens. 💔 S9 is one of my least favorite seasons and therefore, it’s one I don’t watch all that much. With that said, I watched some of it to see where I would place some contestants, and I realized there were some pretty females during the season, especially in the semis. Needless to say, I think Didi is the prettiest of them all; then again, I always thought she was gorgeous. To me, she looks best when she smiles because she has such a beautiful one. If I had to pick my favorite looks of hers, it would be Top 11 and the Top Ten results show when she was unfortunately eliminated. I felt she was eliminated too early here as well, but it is what it is.

    S12 had its fair share of pretty women; then again, since there were forty of them post-Hollywood, it made sense for there to be a good portion of them. :haha: Out of the women who made the finals, Janelle is perhaps the prettiest of them, though cases can be made for Amber and/or Angie. However, neither of those two are here and Janelle is, so we’ll talk about her. One thing I can say about her is she had the country girl style down pat. My favorite look of hers was when she sang I Will during Top Nine. Though I have her slightly higher, I think this is a fair spot all things considered.

    Here we have another entry who was a minor during her season, so it’s going to be a challenge to write about her. I know Makayla turned 18 after the season; however, since we’re only a few months removed from it, it’s been difficult to find decent pictures of her post-Idol. With everything said, I won’t deny saying Makayla is a pretty girl. I know she changed her hair color for the “live” shows, but I thought she looked better with black hair. She looked really nice during The House That Built Me, and it looked like she glammed up for her potential Top Seven performance. When it’s all said and done, this is a decent ranking for her IMO.

    I have a feeling @Bk1234 is going to hate me for this one. :haha: When it comes to Logan, I can’t remember anything about him regarding his time on Idol, whether it be his performance(s) or in this case how he looks. After looking at a couple of pictures of his, I can see how he can be attractive to some, but for me I guess he just doesn’t stand out all that much hence my low ranking. One positive thing I will say about him is that he does appear to have a nice smile all things considered.

    RJ is another S1 male I thought who was above average in the looks department. I would probably say he was the second best looking male finalist behind Jim. On the show, he had this mini-spiky type of hairstyle which brought out some really nice features. Post-idol, he seems to have a lower cut hairstyle, plus it appears he put on some weight though nothing drastic. As a result, his face seems to be fuller; however, I don’t think he looks all that bad. To wrap this up, I guess this is a good spot for him, though I thought he would place somewhat higher than this.

    I tried to find a picture where he looked somewhat handsome. If you couldn’t tell by the picture, I failed, which brings us to him being ranked at #31. 
     

    It’s going to be hard to talk about these low ranking contestants, especially considering I don’t like to hate on contestants’ looks. I mean, there’s got to at least be one person out there who finds RJ very attractive. Let’s just say, it’s not me. He looks kind of cute at best, but usually he just rests in the “alright” category. I think part of my issue with him is that his smile wasn’t the most charming. It made him look awkward, but I’m sure there are people out there who absolutely love it! (Oh by the way, there won’t be a lot of pictures for these low ranking contestants since they clearly aren’t on the same level as the high ranking ones. 😅

    Well, I’ll say Colton is someone who doesn’t really have a bad looking face. Nonetheless, I couldn’t overlook his hair, which distracted me on more than one occasion during the season. With that said, it seemed to be fine for him at the time; besides, it was nothing compared to what it looks like now. In addition, I couldn’t look past his body, particularly his skinny legs which looked like stilts protruding from his torso. Finally, I thought he looked better sans facial hair or a minor beard rather than the full beard he’s sporting now. At the end of the day, I think this is a fair placement.

    There were a lot of comments about how good looking Nick Fradiani was throughout S14. I thought to myself he was nowhere near the best looking guy that season. I thought there were two guys who I thought were ahead of him. One of them happens to be Rayvon. I think Rayvon’s best feature is his smile; it really brings out the best in him. In addition, though he looks fine with a little scruff, I think he looks best clean shaven. Finally, I think he had a great sense of style, especially with the fedoras. While I have him in my personal Top Ten, I can’t really complain about this spot.

    The second guy who I thought was better looking than Nick is Clark. What do you know, he and Rayvon finished back-to-back in this ranking (this was totally unintentional). :haha: With that said, I didn’t get Clark’s appeal at first; however, I gradually started to understand it over time. He seems to fit the blue eyed heartthrob prototype nicely. He appears to have this boyish babyface which looks nice when he’s clean shaven, though he also looks fine with a little scruff. Like Rayvon, he appears to have a solid sense of style which suits him the best. I have him in the mid 20’s, but I can see the appeal.

    Oooo wow. I'm not sure I would have picked up on that at all, but if I did... it would help guess all the rest. :haha: Thanks. Aww, I never watched that show. :( 

     

    034. Quentin Alexander: I'll bring him over here, since I commented on Justin before he got upgraded. :giggle:  Except, I don't actually have anything to say about Quentin. I ranked him last, but have nothing to say. :lmao: 

    029. David Cook: I agree with everything you said.

    028. Paul Jolley: I pretty much agree with you again. He's a good looking guy, but I was not specifically attracted to him.

    027. Jim Verraros: He is also good looking. I haven't seen his longer hair, but interesting.

    026. Caleb Lee Hutchinson: Wow my ranking being so much higher than everyone's. :haha: I just thought he was cute, mainly once the live shows started.

     

    030. Brooke White: Aw, I think Brooke's really pretty and cute. I would rank her higher than others yet to show up.

    029. Siobhan Magnus: I don't have much to say. :haha: 

    028. Allison Iraheta: I love that picture on the left. I do love Allison with the red hair she had on the show. Your adorable Troll doll comment. :haha: 

    027. Ashley Hess: I think I pretty much agree with your thoughts.

    026. Tamyra Gray: I do think she is pretty, but I guess I just thought others were even more. I also agree with you on the hair comments.

     

     

    The fangirling is totally understandable, especially regarding all-time favorites. I'm sure you enjoy their new friendship; maybe they'll work together somewhere down the road if they haven't done so already. I see; hopefully all of our guesses are correct unlike Baby Alien. I don't think anyone had an idea who that person eventually turned out to be. If there was a reference to a certain clue, I probably would've gotten him. :haha: I'm also curious how that person managed to fit in that costume. :haha: Seeing she is one of my biggest celebrity crushes, any chance I get to see her is always a great thing. 😂 Yeah, ICSYV is pretty fun although I seem to notice Ken has worn the same suit every episode. :haha: Too bad we won't have an episode or two of that or The Masked Singer because of the World Series (though I'm a baseball fan). :/

     

    Good, let's keep it that way. ;) :haha:

     

    It's the Pokémon Ditto. I was saying I agreed with your comments on Tristan. :thumbs:

     

    Ok, fair enough. Rock Star was a fun show, but it didn't really have much staying power because it relied on bands needing frontpeople. I doubt they would've had enough bands to keep it going.

    034. Fair enough

    029. I don't have much to say here

    028. Fair enough

    027. One of his album covers has a picture of him with longer hair. Fair enough

    026. You have one for the males; I have one for the females. :haha: Fair enough about him

     

    Females:

    030. I pretty much feel the same way despite having her in the high 20s

    029. Fair enough :haha:

    028. The first time I saw her, the Troll dolls came to mind. :haha: With that said, she grew up to be a pretty woman despite my low ranking of her

    027. Don't have much to say here

    026. Fair enough about her

    I'm going to try to figure these out. The guys....

     

    - A rather jovial fellow: Paul (because of his last name)
    - Man In Black: Caleb (Johnny Cash reference)
    - Too early for this noise: David (album called This Loud Morning)
    - Wanted to show signs of being a good singer: Jim 

     

    4/4 for the males! The explanations:

     

    Paul Jolley - jovial is a synonym for jolly, or Jolley in this case; a reference to his last name as explained

    Caleb Lee Hutchinson - as mentioned, his clue is a Johnny Cash reference, who was often referred to as the Man in Black. Caleb's coronation song was titled Johnny Cash Heart, plus he sang Folsom Prison Blues during the S16 finale.

    David Cook - as mentioned, it's a reference to his second album This Loud Morning

    Jim Verraros - Jim can communicate in sign language, mainly due to both of his parents being deaf. He sang using sign language in his audition.

    - Not a fast drive: Allison (Slow Ride reference! I should have gotten this sooner) 
    - Should’ve kept the old one: Tamyra (referring to her hair change?)
    - Stop and start: Brooke (for restarting a song)
    - This one’s a scream!: Siobhan (know for her "screams")
    - Was locked down from love: Ashley

     

    5/5 for the females! The explanations:

     

    Allison Iraheta - as mentioned, referring to the Slow Ride duet she did with Adam during Top Four.

    Tamyra Gray - this was a reference to her singing New Attitude, which happened to be her worst performance of the season and may have contributed to her elimination the following night.

    Brooke White - pretty much explanatory; her stopping the performance and asking the band to start over after forgetting the opening lines to her You Must Love Me performance

    Siobhan Magnus - as mentioned, referencing her patented screams she would do during her performances

    Ashley Hess - James VIII sang Love Lockdown during the S15 semi-finals. He also happens to be Ashley's boyfriend (at least I think he still is), so it was a play on words regarding their relationship.

     

    As I mentioned earlier, I have the next sets ready; however, I'll ask for one more post so I can post them at the top of the next page. If not, I'll take care of it.

    I have one question .... Where do we find the "write ups" ?

     

    One more thing .... I'm not upset, about anyone's ranking of Siobhan. For one thing, she is a chameleon. She looked different every time she performs, and also, in real life.  With that said, there are so many photos, of her looking utterly STUNNING. Like, drop dead gorgeous.  Also .... these rankings are subjective.  :peace:

     

     

     

    The write-ups are my own personal opinions and those submitted by other posters. The latter were submitted via PM.

     

    This is good to see. The rankings are subjective indeed, so one person's standard of beauty could be completely different from another person's. I do agree with Siobhan being a chameleon looks-wise.

    Idol has had a lot of contestants.  so  .... those making these lists, is because we find their looks attractive, so .... in THAT Department, they all win, at even making it to Top 35, because of their looks. It was actually hard for me, to rate them. 

     

    030. Quentin Alexander - What can I say? Good looking & creative 

    029. David Cook - I think,  it's because so many of the others, on the lists, are very attractive, that David didn't rank higher. Him even being on the list, indicates, that he is attractive, though

    028. Paul Jolley - While Paul, wasn't a fav, he definitely has good looks.

    027. Jim Verraros - Same thing with Jim, that I said about Paul Jolley 

    026. Caleb Lee Hutchinson - I personally find Caleb a little above average, in the looks department. Hence, the rating I gave him

     

    Pretty much agree with the first paragraph. There are some contestants who I felt could've been here as well. Maybe I'll explore the idea somewhere down the road.

     

    030. I pretty much agree since we ranked him in the same spot. :haha:

    029. Fair enough

    028. Pretty much agree

    027. Fair enough

    026. Good to see

    Again .... this was very hard for me to rate. A lot of good looking contestants

     

    030. Brooke White - Yes, she is very pretty. To me, there were so many, yet prettier, contestants

    029. Siobhan Magnus - Siobhan, depending on the day, can kind of run the gamut, regarding looks. But, there are so many instances (performance, photos), where she is utterly drop dead GORGEOUS. And can be very feminine, and other times, very EDGY. Hence, I rated her #3  in the looks department, while maintaining her spot, as my all time fav EVER!!!  💖

    028. Allison Iraheta - Yes, Allison is very cute, and also a fav of mine. Too many stunners, on this list, though 

    027. Ashley Hess - Very attractive, with a silky voice, and ... My 2nd fav Idol contestant, ever. 

    026. Tamyra Gray - Tamyra, is very cute and talented. I didn't watch her season, but I have tuned in to some of her performances. 

     

    030. Yeah, pretty much this

    029. As mentioned earlier, she is a chameleon in this department, so she can definitely run the gamut in terms of looks. It's nice to see how much you appreciate her. :yes:

    028. Pretty much my thoughts

    027. I especially agree regarding her voice

    026. Pretty much agree about her being very cute (moreso) and talented

    Woah David Cook at 29th??? Shocked, especially since he finished 2nd in the AI rankdown. I’m not butthurt about it but I do feel he should be higher. No one else in this set is too surprising.

     

    Though I ranked him low, while I didn't expect him to rank fairly high, I thought he would do better than this as well. Maybe if there were more rankings he would've fared better. Speaking of the rankdown, it was pretty fun to read through.

    Quentin Alexander- View my write-up. 🙂

     

    David Cook- “Man In Black” 

    I’m actually surprised David didn’t rank higher. I mean, I knew he wasn’t going to beat Archie, but still, I thought he would at least get higher than #29. 😅 David Cook looks good in certain outfits and styles. My main issue with him is that his hair has a ruffled, bed hair look sometimes. Sometimes his hair works for him, but other times it just doesn’t... 😔

     

    Paul Jolley- “A rather jovial fellow”

    I never really gave Paul enough credit for how good he looked on the show. 😅 Paul should have outlasted Lazaro (in the looks AND singing department!) Now, he has quite a few nice photos on his socials, but they aren’t enough to shoot him up to the top of my rankings. 
     

    Jim Verraros- “Wanted to show signs of being a good singer” 

    I agree that he was the best-looking on the season, but I personally think Justin edged out over him post-Idol. :giggle:I don’t really have much to say about Jim except I wish his good looks translated to his singing ability... ☹️
     

    Caleb Lee Hutchinson- “Too early for this noise” 

    I thought Caleb would rank higher than this, but I’m not really that disappointed. If I’m correct, I believe that Caleb is the first male to reach someone’s top 10. 🤔 He certainly picked a good time to lose weight (during the lives.) However, I think he unfortunately gained some weight during quarantine. 😬 
     

    Brooke White- View my write-up. 😉

     

    Siobhan Magnus- Wow, @psterina’s 3rd place ranking couldn’t save her... 😬 View my write-up for my thoughts. 😀

     

    Allison Iraheta- Robbed on the show AND robbed on here! 😠 I have Allison at #10 because she has such a cute face. I know she isn’t everyone’s idea of a pretty girl, but I think she looks gorgeous! 😍 Her hair really adds so much flavor to her look too. The picture below is my favorite look of hers. :wub: 
    iraheta-allison-image.jpg
     

    Ashley Hess- Yet another robbed queen... 😔 Ashley looks gorgeous, and like you mentioned, she has a great smile. Her smile just lights up the stage! Ashley just missed my Top 10, but she definitely deserved to be higher than #27. ☹️
     

    Tamyra Gray- Hair is such a big factor for Tamyra. Sometimes she looks really good with her hair and other times, it just doesn't work... 😕 Overall, I feel that this is a good spot for Tamyra. 

     

    First, 2/4 on the male guesses.

     

    Quentin Alexander - Fair enough

     

    David Cook - I pretty much agree with everything written here. Even though it looks like bed head at times, his current hair looks much better than it did at the beginning of S7.

     

    Paul Jolley - At least he outlasted Lazaro here! Except for maybe Curtis, I would've had everyone outlasted Lazaro on the show. Fair enough about everything else.

     

    Jim Verraros - I still think Jim looks better than Justin. 🤷‍♂️ Agree with everything else, especially the last sentence.

     

    Caleb Lee Hutchinson - He is the first male in someone's Top Ten to appear. Too bad that he appeared to gain some weight back during the quarantine.

     

    Brooke White - At least she got points for personality. 👍

     

    Siobhan Magnus - Fair enough, though 🤣 at some of the comments

     

    Allison Iraheta - I had a feeling the sad reaction referred to her. 🤭 I lost one of my Top Ten in this set as well if it's any consolation. Back to Allison, the picture of her with short hair is nice, though I'm more partial to her long hair. I take it this picture is to be added to her ranking?

     

    Ashley Hess - Sorry. 💔 Fair enough about everything else.

     

    Tamyra Gray - Fair enough about her hair. I mentioned something along those lines in my write-up as well.

    If this ranking was based on the sexiest or hottest Idol contestants, Brooke would be nowhere near my personal list. :haha: However, it’s based on overall attractiveness, and I think Brooke is fairly pretty. I did like some of the styles she displayed on the show. If I had to pick a personal favorite, it would be from her Every Breath You Take performance, for I thought she looked really pretty with her hair straight though she looked nice with curly hair as well. I believe her hair is shorter now, but it still looks fine. With everything said, I have her just outside of my personal Top 20.

    Many, including me, consider Brooke to be one of the sweetest Idol contestants to ever grace that stage. While her less competitive nature led to her downfall, she was still a very kind person that you couldn’t help but smile at. The reason I have Brooke all the way at #31 is because I personally don’t find her very attractive. 😅 She isn’t at the bottom though since she isn’t “ugly,” plus she gets a few points for personality, which I’m about to discuss in more detail right now. 

    In my opinion, Brooke was one of the three great personalities of Season 7 (with the other two being David Cook and Archie.) While I do believe her personality wasn’t the best for talent shows, Brooke definitely gets credit for defending what’s right, and in some cases just doing something kind (something one of the judges on the panel needed to learn. 😂) After writing this I feel bad about Brooke’s low placement, but she should be proud that her personality allowed her to escape the lowest of the low.

    Siobhan is another contestant who may not fit the mold when it comes to “normal” beauty; however, that does not mean she is unattractive by any means. For starters, she has this quirky style that totally fits her equally quirky personality. In addition, despite not having the longest hair, she can pull off a number of looks with it and not have it detract from her features. Personally, I think she looks best with her hair straight, though I liked some of the curly looks as well. In spite of everything said, I still have her low in my personal ranking.

    I know one particular poster will be very disappointed with my placement of Siobhan. I guess you could say, at least she isn’t at the very bottom! 😆 I’m going to try to make these comments as sweet as possible (“when you try your best, but you don’t succeed…”) On Idol, Siobhan’s hair kind of (definitely) looked like a bird’s nest. I wasn’t a fan of that more rugged hairstyle, plus some of her outfits were just, no… I will say that when a tornado hasn’t gone through her hair she looks kind of pretty (view the picture above), but unfortunately those kinds of photos are few and far between. 

    Part of the reason why Siobhan isn’t rock bottom is because she gets a few personality points for her fun, quirky nature. I will also note that she is light years better than the lady I have at #35. While I have certainly caused a certain poster to shut off their computer with this write-up, I will say that I am proud of myself for keeping my comments sweet as sugar. 😙

    Allison is someone else who I will struggle writing about, at least when it’s regarding her time on the show because she was a minor during her season. However, unlike Tristan, it’s been a number of years since her season, so I’ll feel more comfortable talking about her outside of it. When it comes to Allison, I can’t help but think that she looks like an adorable Troll doll, especially with the different hair colors. However, I will say she looks really pretty in the picture posted. Regardless, I still have Allison low in my personal ranking and she overall placed in an area I thought she would (though it looks I have contributed to it, LOL).

    To be honest, I had a hard time ranking Ashley because while I won’t say she’s unattractive, I can’t bring myself to say she’s jaw-dropping pretty either. Overall, I guess she’s somewhere in the middle for me. With that said, there were some moments where I thought she looked absolutely lovely. One is during the celebrity duet with Jason Mraz during the semi-finals. Another is in the picture I’m using in this ranking. Finally, I think she has a great smile that enhances her features. When it’s all said and done, I decided to place her in the mid-20s.

    I always thought Tamyra was/is one of the most beautiful Idol contestants, but from the looks of it I appear to be in the minority (which wouldn’t be the first time as I’ve had my fair share of unpopular opinions). :haha: My favorite feature of hers is her eyes, which really light up when she smiles. If I had to pick my favorite look of hers on the show, it would have to be the pinstripe suit and the slicked back hair with the flower in it during her Minnie The Moocher performance. With that said, she’s had some days in which her hair didn’t look the best, with the most glaring example being the red curly hair during the S15 finale. Regardless, I still have her in my personal Top Ten.

    Justin was the main heartthrob of S1 as far as the guys went. However, I didn’t see the appeal whatsoever. I thought he resembled Sideshow Bob at times with his curly hair. Nonetheless, he appeared to have grown into his looks over the years, and I think the main thing is he looks much better with shorter hair. In addition, having facial hair goes a long way in enhancing his looks. I have my pretty low in my rankings; however, the other rankers have him higher than me but not to the point where I think he leaps from the sixth spot at the bottom.

    David is someone who definitely benefited from the AI stylists. At the beginning of his season, he had this bad comb over and red dye job. In addition, he had this weird spiky job at his audition. However, he managed to find a spiky type of hairstyle that really suited him. Furthermore, his wardrobe improved to where he is able to portray this chic rock image. He may not be a heartthrob in the traditional sense; however, he has this rugged look that I think can be attractive to some. With everything said, he still finished low here, which may be the one category he isn’t ranked high in among Idol fans. :haha:

    Well, I can say his rankings are consistent across the board. :haha: I have to say Paul isn’t a bad-looking guy, and though I didn’t rank him fairly high, I figured he would’ve done better than this. He looks great with both the clean shaven and minor scruff looks, though a part of me wonders what he would look like with full facial hair if he’s capable of growing it. I think Paul would’ve been a better choice than Lazaro if voters were to latch on a heartthrob that season as I thought he was better looking than him, but it is what it is.

    I know Jim is one of the least popular Idol contestants of all-time based primarily on his singing. However, I thought he would at least place higher in the physical appearance category. Though my opinion may not mean much, I thought he was the best-looking male in S1. With that said, he has definitely come a long way post-Idol. He appears to have ditched the glasses and highlights he sported during the season and has a more mature look. I saw a picture of him with longer hair, and I have to say he looks much better with it short. I guess I’ll end this write-up on that note.

    Caleb is someone who has had one of the biggest physical transformations on Idol. He was this big, burly guy back at his audition. However, he had slimmed down tremendously by the time the live shows came around, and I have to say he looks a lot better without the extra weight. The major change appears to be in his face because it brought out some nice features. Personally, I have him around the middle as far as the guys are concerned because while I don’t think he’s the worst of the bunch, I feel there are better guys than him.

  13. OK, I just had an epic fail. 😅 I miscalculated the average score of one of the male contestants and therefore, I had to change some of the placements. The change should be reflected in the post, and I'll make sure to update anything else that needs it. So far, everything else looks good; let's hope it stays that way. Sorry for any inconvenience. 😅

    Okay. :giggle: Okay, let me know if you have anything new to say! :shiftywave: I think I saw in the thread that you know who Seahorse is now too. 😮 

     

    Ooh yes, that is a challenge for you! I think you can do it. 😛 

     

    035. Joshua Ledet: I'm already speechless and don't know how to comment. :lmao:Aw yikes him being the only one to not rank above #25. Also interesting speculation from you regarding why he may not be the most attractive to the voters. :lmao: omg yikes @Bk1234's comments about bags under his eyes and creepy smile.  Although I do like how that write-up ended on a positive regarding his personality. Very nice.

    034. Lazaro Arbos: Not really sure why I didn't rank him higher because he's not bad looking or anything... but I guess sometimes your feelings for a person can also affect how you view them physically (whether for good or for bad). I've never seen him without hair, so that's interesting.

    033. Lee DeWyze: I don't have much to say either. :haha:  I don't want to say he (or anyone) is not attractive, but he doesn't do anything for me looks-wise.

    032. Anwar Robinson: LOL your comments and having no choice to rank him lower. My mom was a bit of an Anwar fangirl, so I want to say she found him attractive, but not sure. I don't have much opinion, but yay me and @Bk1234 ranking him at the same spot. :haha: 

    031. Justin Guarini: Ooh I didn't rank him too high, but I thought he'd rank higher than this. He was kind of viewed as a heartthrob back in the day, although I wasn't really attracted to him myself. :haha: Oh yes, you kind of said the same thing. I do agree he looks better with short hair. OMG Sideshow Bob. I don't watch The Simpsons to know who that is, but I Googled. :lmao: 

     

    035. Jennifer Hudson: I kind of thought she'd rank higher than this, so a bit surprised she's last. I agree about LaToya being the prettiest of the three divas. Otherwise, I don't have much to say, but I do think Jennifer has gotten more beautiful over the years (not that she wasn't from the start). 

    033. Ryan Starr: I suppose I agree with both you and @Bk1234 to an extent here. I think she was viewed as the hot girl of the season or one of them? She doesn't stand out to me as one of the prettiest girls from Idol. 

    033. Tristan McIntosh: I think she's pretty, but also doesn't stand out for me.

    032. JAX: I agree with the majority of your comments. 

    031. Alexis Grace: omg Macaulay Culkin’s twin. I don't know if I heard that one. I agree the edgier look worked for her and I liked that. I do think she's a cute girl. I don't remember her with long hair. 😮 

     

     

    Hey, I got the guys right too. :giggle: But I know I wasn't the first to post though (even though I did still guess on my own :teeheebounce: ) 

     

    LOL I would have never figured out this reason for the Alexis clue. :dead:  And lol oops to me on Ryan since it wasn't her but someone with the same name. :haha: 

     

    I did read through the thread, and I have to say I enjoyed the fangirling and breakdown of the clues of Turtle and Astronaut. 😊 The reactions of neither of them winning was just 💔. It was also nice to see the two supporting one another, especially with Astronaut rooting for Turtle. After reading Chris' breakdown of her clues, I started leaning towards that person. Also, I was on a serious high because I got a double dose of Nicole with The Masked Singer and I Can See Your Voice this week. 😍 :dead:

     

    Hopefully. Although there were some that were similar to the other thread, I think I manage to avoid some repeats. Hopefully this will be the case for the next set.

     

    Males:

    035. Yeah, I tried to come up with something to make my write-up more interesting. I also liked how that write-up ended on a positive note.

    034. I pretty much agree here. With that said, I thought he would rank higher.

    033. Fair enough

    032. Unfortunately, some of his post-Idol pictures didn't portray him in the best light. Still, he isn't that bad by any means.

    031. Pretty much agree here. Hope you were able to see the resemblance between the two. :haha:

     

    Females:

    035. Pretty much in agreement with everything said here.

    033 (Ryan). I can't say I disagree.

    033 (Tristan). pokemon ditto GIF 

    032. Nice to see! 😆

    031. The edgier look did look good on her. She grew her hair out post-Idol, though I'm not sure if it's long now. There are a few pictures of her with longer hair.

     

    I know you got the guys right, but Bk1234 got them first. At least you got the females correct.

     

    Apparently, no one did. :haha: To be honest, I wanted to do it with everyone in the first set; however, some didn't sound right and therefore, I decided to pick one that sounded the best. As for Ryan, the most important thing is it was guessed correctly. Speaking of Rock Star, I would love to see it come back although it's highly unlikely.

    035. Joshua Ledet - He is talented, I was not really a fan, but, I do believe he is good lookng

    034. Lazaro Arbos - If I would have gone on personality, he would be dead last, but ... I didn't. With that said ... Lazaro got where he did, due to his story & looks

    033. Lee DeWyze - Lee wasn't a fave of mine, by any means, but he was good looking

    032. Anwar Robinson - I didn't watch that season, but from the pics, that I saw of him, during his Idol run ... he was attractive

    031. Justin Guarini - He was the heartthrob during that season. And ... it was definitely in part, due to his looks

     

    That's fine. I'm pretty sure all of us have different criteria when it comes to our rankings. I'm personally ranking them based on how they look both on and off Idol, whereas someone like @Bk1234 is ranking them based on a combination of looks and personality. It certainly makes things interesting. As for the pictures, I tried to find decent ones for everyone, so it's completely unintentional if the male ones aren't as flattering as the female ones. :haha: Speaking of which, if anyone has any contestant pictures they want to see, they can post them and I'll add them to their write-ups.

     

    035. Fair enough

    034. Pretty much in agreement here

    • I would've liked to see Jeremiah and Hollie place better than they did.
    • The decision between LaToya and Crystal absolutely killed me. 😭
    • Some of the semi-finalists picks had me in stitches. 🤣

    Overall, this rankdown was fun to go through, and it was cool to see some of the opinions and tastes of others, even if I disagreed with them. I'm not sure if there'll be another one in the future, but if so, I'll be there to follow along.

  17. @Bk1234 got the males right, and @miss denise got the females right! Now for the explanations:

     

    Lee DeWyze: A true gentleman - as @Bk1234 mentioned, it's a reference to him singing Treat Her Like A Lady during his season

    Lazaro Arbos: Nailed it! - referencing Lazaro's pose at the end of the infamous I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) group performance :dead:

    Anwar Robinson: Nothing to dread - Anwar had dreadlocks during S4

    Justin Guarini: Nurse Salt - the opposite of Dr. Pepper. Justin plays Lil Sweet in the Diet Dr. Pepper ads

    Joshua Ledet: Round of applause - referencing the many standing ovations Joshua received during S11

     

    Tristan McIntosh: Don't wander low in the valley - pretty much the opposite of Go Rest High on That Mountain, which is a song Tristan sang during her season

    Alexis Grace: Exile Car Gas - exile car gas is an anagram of Alexis' first and last names

    Jennifer Hudson: Last place male sang a song of hers - as @miss denise alluded to, Joshua sang You Pulled Me Through during the S11 semis, which happens to be a song of Jennifer's

    Ryan Starr: Rock Star Supernova - There was a contestant on Rock Star: Supernova named Ryan Star. The differences are this Ryan was male and has only one 'r' in his last name

    JAX: "The Dress" - referencing when JAX wore the infamous dress during one of her performances in S14

    At #35 is the only one of the S3 Three Divas to take part in this ranking. To be honest, I always thought LaToya was the prettiest of the three (I still think she is), but that doesn’t mean Jennifer is bad by any means. She’s certainly come a long way since her Idol days, especially in the fashion department. In addition, she’s lost a lot of weight, which looks really good on her. I have to say she looks the best with short hair, though she pulls off the long hair pretty well. Nonetheless, despite all I’ve written about her, she still finished low in my rankings and at the bottom here.

    Ah yes, Ryan Starr, the Idol contestant who wore arguably the most revealing outfits. Admittedly, I looked forward to watching her every week during S1 just to see what she would (or some would argue wouldn’t 🤭) wear. She had/has a great body, so I don’t begrudge her. Looking back, she didn’t have exactly the prettiest face; however, that doesn’t mean she’s unattractive by any means. At the end of the day, I ended up ranking her pretty low because while I think she’s fairly attractive, I don’t think she quite measures up to the women I ranked ahead of her.

    I want to keep this one short and (not) sweet because this is my #35, and this is my last write-up! 😄 Ryan Starr is someone that relies WAY too much on showing skin. She doesn’t even look that pretty. Her face just makes cringe, plus, some of the outfits that she wore during Season 1 look like swimsuits you’d see some women wearing at the beach. In my opinion, Ryan is the complete opposite of “natural beauty,” and that is one of the reasons why she is at #35 for me. 

    In terms of personality, Ryan isn’t getting any points because she’s a Season 1 contestant who isn’t Kelly, Justin, or Tamyra, and because I’m not feeling motivated to hunt for any. 😅 Overall, I believe that Ryan is the clear worst one out of the females, and deserves to have a low, if not the lowest, overall placement.

    To be honest, Tristan is difficult to write about since she was a minor during her season and it just doesn’t feel right talking about her in this way despite her being of legal age now. Nonetheless, she was nominated, so here we are. In addition, it’s been difficult to find decent post-Idol pictures of her; however, I think I managed to find one. Tristan is a pretty girl don’t get me wrong, but there’s something I feel that is missing about her, which is why I didn’t rank her high. With that said, I think she looks best when her hair looks like it does in the picture posted, and I’ll end it there since I don’t have much else to say.

    This is where the contestants start to get bad... Here we are with Tristan McIntosh, and to be honest, what is there to really say? I guess she has a pretty face, but that will only give her a hot minute of my attention span! 😅 My issue with Tristan is that she looks ok, but she doesn’t really have a lot of new things that would warrant her some personality points. She comes across as dry and uninteresting for me, which in a ranking like this, is not a good thing! 

    If I can remember correctly, I believe Tristan had a family member who was in the army. This would’ve been a great opportunity to search for some things that were worthy of personality points, but the issue is this story has become fairly common on Idol. Not to mention, I actually started to get a bit sick of hearing Tristan’s story because of how often the producers shoved it down our throats. Overall, I have Tristan McIntosh pretty low because she looks like a sweet girl, but that just isn’t enough anymore.

    To be honest, I don’t really see the appeal with JAX, which is why she ended up last in my personal ranking. For starters, I’m not really into blondes though I’ll acknowledge a pretty one when I see one, so admittedly there’s a little bias there. I won’t say JAX isn’t pretty; I just think she falls short compared to the women who are in this ranking. Some positive things I will say is that she has some really nice eyes and she makes the pop-rock image she's going for work for her. Still, she just doesn’t do it for me when it’s all said and done.

    Rounding out the bottom five is Alexis Grace. I’ve often seen her be addressed as Macaulay Culkin’s twin sister, and I have to say I can see the resemblance. She started off as this Plain Jane at her audition; however, she was advised by Kara to “dirty up” her image and as a result, she came back with pink streaks in her hair and edgier outfits. I think the new look suited her well. Another thing I will say is she looks really good with longer hair, though the short hair is also nice on her. With everything said, she’s still second to last in my rankings because I just think there are better women in this field.

    Coming in at #35 on the males side is the S11 third placer. As a minor spoiler, Joshua is the only contestant in both genders who does not have a ranking above 25 by anyone. I think one of the problems with Joshua is that he doesn’t exactly have the softest features. Maybe he is someone who would look better with more facial hair than the soul patch he sports from time to time. I think he looks fine in the picture I posted of him but overall, while I don’t think he looks bad per se, I still have him last in my rankings and from the looks of it, he doesn’t appear to be popular with the other rankers either.

    Here he is, my number #35 for the guys. Sorry to all the people who think Joshua is really good-looking, but I’m just not a fan. 😕 I mean he always seemed to have bags under his eyes, which is just not a good look to have. Plus, his smile looks very creepy in some pictures. Otherwise, I have no issues with Joshua’s physical appearance. 

     

    Joshua is definitely better off in the personality department. He had such a great relationship with Hollie during the show that was just so cool to watch (and sad, after Hollie got eliminated. 😢) I’m pretty sure this is my shortest write-up for this ranking, so sorry if I didn’t do Joshua justice… At the end of the day, it’s about how YOU feel about him, not how I feel!

    Quentin is certainly one of the most unique contestants Idol has ever had, both performance and looks wise. For the latter, he had this eclectic fashion style that I think only he could pull off. As for his physical appearance, his hair often looked unkempt, but I have to say it does not really look all that bad on him, IMO. With everything said, because he is physically not the most conventional contestant, it is understandable why he may not be popular with some people, and his second to last placement in this ranking is an example of that being true.

    Ok, so Quentin is the first one on the list where I just don’t see the appeal, or I see very little of it. I mean sure, he liked to show off his chest at times, but still, it was more of an aesthetic choice (see the photo above.) One thing I really like about Quentin is that he has such a cute face. I don’t know what it is, but I’m thinking it has to do with his teeth. 🤷‍♂️ Now that I think about it, maybe I should put him over my #32… Nah, I’m too lazy to PM @Crisis, plus I’ll probably just change my mind 3,000 more times afterward. 😅 

     

    Part of the reason why Quentin is so low is because of his little spat with Harry Cowell Jr. (no, this is not a mistake.) I don’t really care because my relationship with that judge flat out ended after he decided to mess with Emily, but it’s important to check each contestant’s record (I really don’t care about his argument with Harry, but hey, it looks like I wrote a ton of stuff, so I’ll take what I can get.)

    It is thought two of the biggest reasons Lazaro made it as far as he did in S12 are his sob story with his stutter and his looks. Since this topic is based primarily on looks, I’ll focus on that. Though I have Lazaro at #31, I can understand how his looks can appeal to some; to be honest, I thought he would rank higher because of it. There are some bald pictures of him, and I have to say I think he looks much better with hair. Though I thought he would place higher as mentioned earlier, I can’t say I’m really surprised at his overall ranking.

    Aah, here he is, one of the worst Idol finalists ever! Turns out Lazaro didn’t do too good in my best-looking finalists ranking either. Lazaro’s personality is so glaringly bad so we’re just going to jump to that segment (in case this gets weird and you have no clue what I’m talking about, I usually discuss the contestant’s physical appearance BEFORE their personality.) Lazaro’s name should just be changed to Lazyro because on the show he just gave off such a careless, unaware personality that drove me insane. He also reminds me way too much of that one group member who doesn’t do any of the work… 😒 Not to mention, he somehow was the last male standing, like what the heck, was he really THAT good-looking? (smooth segway into the next segment 😉)

     

    I’m going to assume that Lazyro got as far as he did because of his story and his looks. I have never understood the appeal behind his looks, but hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion (maybe it’s just because I can’t look past his laziness…) Anyway, LAZYro is at #32 because of his laziness (obviously) and because he isn’t even that good-looking (sorry, not sorry. 😜

    Here we have Lee DeWyze. While Lee isn’t someone who would be a pretty boy, he has this boyish, kind of rugged handsomeness to him. I think he looks the best with a soul patch, goatee, or full beard. There are some pictures of him where he has a beard sans mustache, and while I think there are very few men who could pull that look off, Lee sadly isn’t one of them. With that said, the mini beard he has in the picture above doesn't look bad on him. In addition, I think Lee looks best when his hair isn’t all that long, kind of what he had during his time on Idol. Other than this, there isn’t much to say about Lee.

    Anwar is a contestant I planned on placing higher. However, after seeing pictures of him without his dreads and facial hair, it gave me no choice but to rank him lower. With that said, Anwar is not a bad-looking guy by any means; it’s just that he looks better with certain styles. I think the lack of facial hair is a bigger deal than the hair growing on his head; he would be much better off with something like a goatee or even a plain mustache. One thing he has going for him is that he appears to have a great sense of style. With that said, I understand why he didn’t place very high here.

    Yikes, the difference more hair makes...

     

    I really don’t have much to say about Anwar, which is part of the reason why he is ranked so low. I haven’t watched a lot of Season 4, plus he just doesn’t stand out to me. Let’s give Anwar a pat on the back though, he just avoided the lowest spot on my ranking! 👏 The guy looked so good in dreads back in the day, so this sudden change must have shocked (and disappointed) a lot of people. Part of the issue with Anwar, is that his face isn’t handsome enough by itself, so he kind of suffered big time after the haircut… 😬 

     

    Personality for Anwar is a big question mark for me, so I’ll just leave it up to the public to answer this question... 

     

    Psychologists have found it difficult to define Anwar’s personality because... 

    1. Psychologists are not smart enough to determine the boundaries of Anwar’s vocal range. 

    2. Personality has a confusing definition, just like the appeal behind Anwar. 

    3. The idea of cutting off dreads is a new concept in the field of psychology. 

    4. I give up on this question, let’s move on to the next write-up.

  20. Easily the best male winner and WGWG the show has ever had. Outside of a couple of iffy performances (Innocent and Hungry Like The Wolf), he had a very strong run. It was great to see Simon eat crow during the finale after dragging him the night before (no offense to Archie). Definitely worthy of his high ranking.

     

    Kelly at the top? It just feels right to have her at #1. 👑

  21. From what I saw, there were only two good singers this time around. At least Alex decided not to gamble, and it was nice to see she made the right decision after what happened to the previous contestant. I was off on the Supermarket Clerk but had a feeling the Yogi was a good singer.

     

    The best part of the night was a double dose of Nicole Scherzinger between The Masked Singer and this. 😍 :haha: Alex was a looker as well. 👍
