Alone was super about the harmonies with the backing singers
Stuff Like That There was much better

Yea I did't really like them either. Taylor was way annoying and Bo was just meh. I did like "Real Thing" though.

I'm just shocked that my Taylor and Bo picks drew the most criticism, but my Amanda Avila pick went untouched. There is definitely something sexist going on there! If Taylor had a pair of boobs, you guys would be praising him. You all just hate men... it's all Carrie, Kelly, Jordin, McPhee... but when it comes to Bo, Taylor, Ruben, and Sanjaya the claws come out.

Aw, I liked Amanda.

Now that we're all in agreement on my top 5, here's my bottom 5:

#1. Jordin Sparks - Hey Baby - Painful to watch, and not bad in a funny way in the least. As bad as the vocals are, the outfit is a notch below it.

#2. Janay Castine - Hit 'em Up Style - I'll never forget Janay because she always looked scared as hell on stage.

#3. John Stevens - Crocodile Rock - La la la la la la.... Cracks me up every time. Although, I still feel sorry for the poor bastard. Seemed like a nice enough kid.

#4. Anthony Fedorov - I Surrender - Throat hole boy + Celine Dion song = .

#5. Nikki McKibbin - Always Something There To Remind Me - Like Jordin's Hey Baby this was a perfect mix of terrible voice and outfit. Blech.

There are so many bad performances, and I'm certain I missed more than a few terrible ones, but this is a fair representation.

OMG, you found a Crocodile Rock youtube. I've been wanting that for months. The la la las... the dancing... the comments (Paula spinning it positive, Ed Wood comment)... Greatest thing ever.

Nice to see some Jordin Hey Baby hate. When I came on here after that and saw people were giving it positive remarks, I had a serious "whaaaaa?" I'd put Fighter and Livin on a Prayer among some of the most painful too. It's hard to believe a winner could lay so many turds along the way.

I think that says more about just how bad the year was. I can't think of any other winner in the history of Idol that had that many horrendous performances. I can't even hardly watch that youtube... it's really awful on so many levels.

For me.. JHud has the best with Weekend in New England, then Circle of Life and then everything by Kelly Clarkson

Those two are some of my most memorable, good choices.

I like that hair color gives Nikki the "resident rocker" title in Idol Season 1. Because from that, I don't see any rocker in her.

Anytime Jordin sang not a ballad is was horrible, just horrible.

Ehhh....10 Best
- Nothing by Carrie (although Alone is close), Jordin, Taylor or Ruben

10. Jennifer - Weekend In New England
9. Fantasia - I Believe
8. Chris - Hemorhage
7. Melinda - I'm A Woman (Top 20)
6. LaToya - All By Myself
5. Tamyra - A House Is Not A Home
4. Jennifer - Circle of Life
3. Kelly - Stuff Like That There
2. Melinda- My Funny Valentine
1. Fantasia - Summertime

r u black

Oh..and "There's Always Something To Remind Me" (that catchy tune written by Burt Bacharach)
