I saw S6-13 in full and my top fave would be Candice. After that I also loved Kris.

 

I did see Kelly's whole run but it was a long time ago, but she'd probably be the #1. Carrie and Fantasia would probably also be high but I only know their most iconic performances (Alone and Summertime).

So far, Chayce is probably the most successful ABC era winner. He has a Gold single (platinum in Canada).

Don't care about others lol.

 

NOTE: Stated watching from season 17.

[Carrie_On]

Gonna base this on my overall feelings for them instead of how they did on the show. I didn’t like Scotty or Phillip at all during their seasons but I think they grew a lot after the show and became better artists.

I feel like I haven't ranked all of the winners in years.  Perhaps since the FOX Idol finale some years ago.  But I'll give it a try.
