x3 because of u

So glad you like Andrea Valles. She's the one I'm looking forward to the most.

A few posts up I posted that she auditioned this season. I guess not a spoiler in the sense that we know if she made it to Hollywood or not but it’s a name to keep an eye on.

Andrea and Uche! I love how all these reality show contestants always seem to know each other.

Looks like Andrea Valles is another contestant. Fingers crossed she makes it to Hollywood! She was on La Banda and Reina de la Canción, both shows on the Spanish-language channel Univision. Twitter: Andrea Valles IG: Andrea Valles Audition for La Banda: YouTube Original Music: Spotify

I don't remember any negatives about Diana's mom but Brielle's mom definitely hurt her in the competition. If I recall correctly she was meddlesome and Idol mentioned her enough that I think that was the main thing people remembered about Brielle (which I hated because I really love Brielle's voice).

I listened to Margie's because I love the song but I just can't really get into it. I have Kat's, Sara Bareilles', and Jessie Mueller's from the soundtrack. Now if only Jordin would record a version... Her dad was the best. I love Idol parents. He's up there with Elliott's mom for me.

Yay, loved reading this list (even though I lurked sometimes). Disagree with Kat at the top but I can sense your love in the writeup. LOL She is definitely one of the Idol greats though. I saw Waitress on Broadway (with Jordin, of course) and I wish I could've seen Kat in it too. I have her version of "She Used to Be Mine" saved on my Spotify and I LOVE IT.

Yay, semifinalists! This is fun. Season 1 Alexis Lopez - Yes, I wish she would've made it too. The song choices did her in though. Angela Peel - Don't really recall her. Christopher Aaron - Same. Kelli Glover - Agree with that weird part of her voice. That's what ruined it for me but otherwise she was good. Melanie Sanders - Don't remember her at all. Season 2 Chip Days - Another one I really don't recall. Equoia Coleman - Same. Hadas - Agree, I liked her. Kimberly Kelsey - Don't remember her either. These seasons were so lon

015. Haley Scarnato - WAY too high for me haha.. I didn't like her at all during her season but after a rewatch, I have to say she's not all that bad. Her upper register bothers me though. 014. Brooke White - Yes, she's just the best. I want to be her friend. And her voice is so nice to listen to as well. 013. Pia Toscano - I was a Pia fan before Idol. I remember seeing a video of her where she was trying to sing at the Grammys or something like that, and I was blown away. When I found out she was going to be on Idol I was so excited. 9th place was definitely much too early for her t

020. Chris Daughtry - He would've been my winner. I'm mad he also missed out on the "The Masked Singer" crown. He's so crazy talented. I remember having so many audios of his live performances on my iPod. 019. Bo Bice - So good too! I LOVE Vehicle. Still watch it from time to time on Youtube. He had a very well-deserved spot in the final 2. 018. La'Porsha Renae - I remember not wanting her to win. If i recall correctly, I felt like the judges raved about her too much. However, she's obviously crazy talented. I just preferred a Trent win. 017. Allison Iraheta - I didn't like

I'm back 025. Erika Van Pelt - I don't recall my feelings about her too much but I think I kind of liked her but didn't really care much when she was eliminated. 024. Ruben Studdard - I actually really love "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do". It might be my favorite after "Superstar". His voice is just so soothing. I was happy with his win. 023. Vonzell Solomon - She was fun and obviously talented but I wasn't totally in love with her. If she had gone earlier than she did, I would've been OK with that. 022. Haley Reinhart - She grew on me for sure. I remember not liking her at al

I'm lurking.

045. David Archuleta - Archie! He's practically my age but I still think he's adorable. I would've been fine with either David winning the crown and I really enjoyed his run. 044. Angie Miller - So talented. That top 3 elimination was rough. I had a feeling Candice would make it and then I loved both Angie and Kree so I knew I'd be sad either way. I can't wait to rewatch that season because your writeup just reminded me of all of her great performances. 043. Jordin Sparks - You just killed me. JK, but Jordin is my all-time fave. I have so many amazing memories tied to AI6 and Jord

050. Skylar Laine - She was just OK for me. 049. Nikko Smith - I was glad he was the one to replace Mario but I was sad to see Mario leave. I liked Nikko's run and think he should've stayed slightly longer but I wasn't surprised when he was voted off. I really enjoyed his version of Part Time Lover. 048. Naima Adedapo - She was underwhelming for me. But her season as a whole was. 047. Didi Benami - Loved her. I had high hopes for her. 046. Megan Joy - Didn't like her at all. However, her recording of Rockin' Robin was one of my favorites of the season, surprisingly.
