ok so i missed my opportunity to send my top 10.. but how come summertime wasn't even mentioned? no one? in a dream? higher ground? mad world? cry baby? these are considered some of the best idol performances and none on the list. maybe i will make my list but damn i really don't like ranking.. can i just post my list w/o ranking?

why on earth did you pick THOSE performances above others!? i added my comments on the list... A recap of the overall list: 027. Siobhan Magnus - Superstition - she never had any performance to remember or what idol is considering a moment. if you want something from season 9 then take casey james jealous guy. 026. David Archuleta - Angels - going to make some people angry but never really liked him. archie is the reason i don't like teens and kids on idol. he wasn't ready for prime time. season 7 had many others good performances like michael's we are the champions, it's all good and dream on. 025. Vonzell Solomon - Best Of My Love - from all of her performances i would have picked i have nothing. but one reason season 4 is one of my favs is because almost everyone in the top 10 had a chance to shine and give at least one memorable performance: jessica total eclipse of the heart, constantine bohemian rhapsody, anwar moonriver nadia you don't have to say you love me, bo in a dream and vehicle, carrie trouble and when god fearing women get the blues, sin wagon. 024. Janelle Arthur - I Will - out of a terrible season this is one and only i agree was good but not good enough for the A list. season 12 doesn't belong on that list. 023. Skylar Laine - Wind Beneath My Wings - i would have put gunpowder and lead instead. but season 11 had better than that like hollie's the climb and rolling in the deep. 022. Jessica Sanchez - Everybody Has A Dream - NO!! just please no!! 021. Clark Beckham - It's A Man's Man's Man's World - one of his best but out season 14 i would put jax bang bang or piece of my heart or you give love a bad name. 020. Jessica Meuse - The Crow & The Butterfly - FINALLY something i agree deserve to be on the list but also jessica's blue eyed lie. one of the best originals to be on the show. 019. Diana DeGarmo - Don't Cry Out Loud - out of season 3 the only A list performance is summertime by fantasia or i believe. nothing else comes close. 018. Jena Irene - Can't Help Falling In Love - you insist to make me angry and put songs that weren't as good as people made them out to be. i will put here any of caleb's dazed and confused or dream on. 017. Maddie Poppe - Homeward Bound - one of the worst winners (shall we say whiners?) out season 16 i'd rather give that spot to gabby's i have nothing or cade's all along the watchtower. 016. Allison Iraheta - Papa Was A Rolling Stone - from all of allison's performances this is the best? i will put here cry baby or give in to me. if you need something else from season 8 then adam's mad world, black or white, whole lotta love. 015. David Archuleta - Imagine - NO!!!!! 014. Jordin Sparks - I (Who Have Nothing) - i will let you pass on that. it was good out of season i didn't care for. 013. Carrie Underwood - Alone - see comment for #25. carrie had much better performances than that like trouble and when god fearing women get the blues, sin wagon. 012. Kris Allen - Ain't No Sunshine - i will give that spot to anything from adam. 011. Clay Aiken - Bridge Over Troubled Water - whatever.. 010. David Cook - Billie Jean - i will let you pass on that one but carly''s come together should have made the list. 009. Kris Allen - Heartless - his best performances. for once i agree. 008. Siobhan Magnus - Paint It Black - the only good version i heard of that song was mig's on rockstar inxs. no one on idol did it justice. 007. Pia Toscano - I'll Stand By You - the best part on pia was her early elimination 006. Candice Glover - I (Who Have Nothing) - haven't we agreed season 12 should get a feature on an A list performances!? 005. Haley Reinhart - I (Who Have Nothing) - i will replace that song with anything else from james durbin or paul mcdonald. 004. Blake Lewis - You Give Love A Bad Name - 003. Kelly Clarkson - Stuff Like That There - pretty much everything that kelly did on season 1 should be on the list 002. Candice Glover - Lovesong - 001. Elise Testone - Whole Lotta Love - adam's version should be here instead!!! maybe i should just make a list of my own...

003. Jennifer Hudson 002. Trenyce 001. Vonzell Solomon at least we got #1 in common. and yes performance is one of the best. vonzell also got yo close the show with that performance. that what i loved about season 4 that almost everyone on it had a chance to shine and get their best performance to close the show. season 4 wasn't perfect but it got top 3 right. and you still had some of the most memorable performances. hey here is an idea to rank the most memorable or best performances.

006. Katharine McPhee 005. Gabby Barrett 004. LaKisha Jones I actually agree on both kat and lakisha but i think gabby's was one of the better versions. she totally owned the song. so this means vonzell and jennifer are in your top 3.. vonzell had the best version. period. and it was her second WH song during the season and both were good.

but you can simply verify if my top 4 versions are correct.. tiny hint..

apology accepted.

010. Shannon Magrane 009. Leah LaBelle 008. Jessica Sanchez 007. Sonika Vaid since you insist ranking.. as for that song there were few good performances like vonzell solomon, kat mcphee (my guess is your #1 fav version.. ), jennifer hudson and gabby barrett.. can't remember or cared much for other versions.. seems like every season there is one who try that old song.. now you just made me want to watch that movie again..

why!? you can simply write you disagree and i will understand but going so low is uncalled. boo to you back!

005. Jennifer Lopez - didn't like that the camera had to be on her face all the time. even during the performances they had to film HER! 004. Kara DioGuardi - she used to get on my nerves easily. her joining the panel was what ruined the perfect chemistry that was before. i know she was supposed to replace paula but at the last moment she stayed. 003. Paula Abdul - she should be 2nd. 002. Keith Urban - not as good as you said. 001. Simon Cowell - basically the best judge. the one who wasn't afraid to say what people thought and he was funny for most parts. loved his analogies!! yet his comment on michael johns was out of the line and uncalled for. he made idol worth watching and everything after doesn't pale in comparison.

there's no brainer in ranking the judges. as anyone compared to simon is a pussycat.. yet i loved the original cast as they had chemistry. that was broken in season 8 when they added kara to the table. although some tried to be "harsh" or "constructive" no one managed to be as honest or brutal as simon did. 014. Nicki Minaj 013. Ellen DeGeneres 012. Mariah Carey 011. Luke Bryan 010. Harry Connick, Jr. - he was better as a mentor in season 9 than a judge. 009. Lionel Richie 008. Katy Perry 007. Steven Tyler - the only good part of him was the rhyme he did after scotty's audition. one of my favs lead singers from one of my favs bands but he was a lousy judge. 006. Randy Jackson - liked him until season 8. until then he actually had good comments to say with some constructive criticism.

julia has a deal too. so can someone elaborate more? all three signed to 19 but with which label? also grace mentioned she is signed to red light management.

phillip is a one hit wonder. as he had one hit and none of his albums sold much. i think your terms of success are different than mine. jordin had 1 hit as a duet with chris brown but none of her albums sold much. my point is none of those achieve the level of success of kelly, carrie, chris, adam.. it is merely miny-minor one..

this s where we part ways my friend.. season 8 is one of the top 4 best seasons for me. season 6 is way too high and wasn't as good as you say. in fact I consider season 6 as one of the weakest with 12 and 9.. 008. Season 8 - AKA the adam lambert season.. he won the show without winning the title. 007. Season 1 - AKA the kelly clarkson season.. but the best talent here came from the girls.. along with tamyra and nikki. 006. Season 3 - AKA the fantasia season.. she dominated the season and was clear why she won. also she got the best coronation single to date. still it could have ended very differently had jennifer hudson, latoya london, george huff and fantasia ended as the top 4.. 005. Season 6 - AKA the boring season.. none of the contestants were interesting or special. which always goes back to the discussion of being a good singer is NOT enough. you need an extra factor to attract the audience. how many of that season are still making music successfully!? adding the next set: well not much to add because 3 out of these are ranked as the best seasons.. if you replace season 11 with 8 then you get the best 4 seasons for me. 004. Season 4 - first season i got to watch. it also got one of the biggest stars to emerge from the show. 003. Season 11 - anything post simon cowell is doomed to fail. so did the contestants. 002. Season 7 - one of the best assembly of talent. but why did have to mention michael's elimination!? why!? he should have made top 4 at least! 001. Season 5 - i agree this season had the one of the best top 5.. i admit i got into the mayhem of the top 4 elimination.. but number 4 ended up the most successful of that season..
