Who is the best American Idol performer to date?

[lucyblondecat]

My pick is Taylor, followed closely by Bo. I also loved Kimberly Locke and Nadia Turner.

 

[AllyandJack]

I said Kelly. She's just amazing. I can't understand why she stuggled to make it in the business before AI. I hope every label that turned her down before gets sick when they see or hear her knowing what they had and let go. I also liked Constantine. I loved his versions of "I Think I Love You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Taylor is my favorite from this season.

 

[palmtreegirl]

Kelly.

 

[MzDiz]

Fantasia! I loved that a**-kickin way she commanded the stage and enthralled everyone.

 

[antmaril]

Without a doubt - Fantasia. When the Idol judges refer to someone having their "moment", they are referring to Fantasia's version of "Summertime". That was a moment we have not seen repeated on American Idol.

Just my two cents, of course.

 

[lucyblondecat]

Wow. Fantasia was my least favorite to date.

Goes to show there is someone for everyone!

 

[LoraJ]

Since it's "performer" and not singer, I said Taylor.

 

[wvjovifan]

Chris lights my fire

 

[Monte Cristo]

Anyone who doesn't answer Willam Hung has their head in the sand.

 

[TnKrBeLlA012]

I have to say Chris. I think he has one of the best voices! Kelly is also great. Fantasia has to be the worst. I never understood what people liked about her?

 

[Robinrs]

Goes to show is RIGHT! I never understood what people saw in LOTS of people but that's their opinion and everyone has a right to one.

I loved:

Taylor (duh!)
Ruben
Fantasia
Clay
Bo Bice!!!


Couldn't stand:

Carrie Underwhelm
Vonzell Baby V
Diana DeGarmo

So far Clay for me. I am basing this also on what I've seen in person. I've seen Kelly and Clay on the same night, and was reminded why I never understood why she won. She bored me on stage and honestly, most of the audience was kind of "ho hum" as well. At least she didn't do well with a huge crowd... I see her doing better with a smaller audience.

Clay's awesome in concert! I hope to see Bo this summer, but from what I've seen he's great too!

I don't trust what I see on TV, as I was not as wowed in person as I was in concert even with Clay.

 

[Bob Slydell]

No Justin Guarini on the list?

 

[Tiziminchac]

Anyone who doesn't answer Willam Hung has their head in the sand.

That's what I'm saying! I had to pick "other" because he wasn't on the poll! What kind of cheap thread is this?

 

[luckywife]

Wow. Fantasia was my least favorite to date.

Goes to show there is someone for everyone!

I didn't like Fantasia either. We even stopped watching AI that season because of her. But you're right, someone on the show for everyone.

On this poll I voted for Kelly. I also really like Carrie Underwood, Chris and Taylor.

 

[Kitty 34]

I wanted to vote for Clay as I never saw the first season with Kelly but she has some great songs out so I had to vote for her. But as far as who I've seen on AI; definetly CLAY!!

 

[ead79]

Clay Aiken is my personal favorite. I just love his voice. I also love Kelly’s songs.

 

[wdwgirl03]

I voted for Chris. Also loved Carrie (her CD is great).

 

[iluvdisnee]

I couldnt vote for just one But I Love both Clay, Carrie, and Taylor dearly!

 

[Octoberbeauty]

Clay - no contest!
Then
Constantine
Kelly
Fantasia
Carrie
and I like Chris & Katherine this season
