Check out Entertainment Weekly's picks (or just Michael Slezak's). How could he even consider Trenyce!! She was ok, but K Lo or LaToya should have her slot. I like his inclusion of John Steven's though

Didn't watch Season 1 except for the finale.

Season 2:
Josh Gracin- "I'll Be", "Amazed" (Yes that's right, I'm a Josh fan)
Clay Aiken- "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Solitaire", "Mack the Knife"
Ruben Studdard- "Superstar", "A Whole New World"
Kimberley Locke- "New York State of Mind"

Season 3:
LaToya London- "All by Myself", "Don't Rain on my Parade"
Fantasia Barrino- "Summertime", "I Believe", "Chain of Fools"

Anwar Robinson- "Moon River", "What's Going On"
Nadia Turner- "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me"

Ok that list is not so good! yes Trenyce had a great voice and good performance, but shes not that good to be in the top 10
the performance of John Steves was just sad....really sad!

Keeping in mind that I haven't really been watching this season, there have only been a couple that have really stood out for me from previous seasons: Tamyra Gray's House is Not a Home, Kelly Clarkson's Without You, and Fantasia's I Believe.

2. Kelly Clarkson - Without You (Results Show)
3. Bo Bice - In A Dream
4. Jennifer Hudson - I Have Nothing
5. LaToya London - All By Myself
6. Fantasia Barrino - Chain of Fools
7. LaToya London - Somewhere
8. Carrie Underwood - Alone
9. George Huff - Ain't Too Proud to Beg
10. Trenyce - Proud Mary
11. Jessica Sierra - Total Eclipse of the Heart
12. Clay Aiken - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Least Favorites:
1. Janay Castine - Hit 'Em Up
2. Ryan Starr - You Really Got Me
3. John Stevens - Crocodile Rock
4. Scott Savol - Dance With My Father

That's like my all time favorite. It's hilarious to watch.

Trenyce was actually my favorite contestant in Season Two. Her voice wasn't as soulful and deep as Kimberley Locke's, but she was always pitch perfect. Listen to her "Let's Stay Together," "Proud Mary," "I Have Nothing," and "Love Sneakin' Up On You."

Why did Ruben win? Kimberley and Trenyce were so much better.
