The Top 20 'Idol' Performances Ever!

1. I Firmly believe that Carrie Underwood was the best American Idol but Katharine McPhee is GREAT also even though she didn't win. I really do hope that blake wins.

2. i think that chris daughtry is the best and will always be the best, and i also think that jordin's "broken wing" should be the # 1 performance.

3. Blake is the best!!!!

4. Katharine McPhee "can" sing, but she should have been booted off IDOL long before making it to the final two because "she forgot the words to songs not once BUT TWICE" during the competition.

5. Fantasia is as much a joke as Sanjaya!! #1 Moment gimme a break!

6. Clay Aiken's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" was clearly the best performance on your list.....not Fantasia's. Come on..

7. You forgot Tamyra Grey.. "A house is not a home." Did u consider this one or actually forget... I completely think it should have been on the list somewhere. Please e-mail me back with your thought on why it was not on the list! Thanks :) Otherwise good job.

9. i think that there is a lot wrong with the order of the list. people who should be ranked higher are... diana degarmo, jordin sparks, katharine mchpee, and kelly clarkson... blake lewis, kellie pickler, and reuben studdard are just a few that i think should be lower down... im just basing my thoughts more on vocal skills, not performance skills

10. I think the list is "right on" in some parts...just a view adjustments. Bo's "In a Dream" should DEFINITELY be number 1, it still makes my heart stop. Carrie's alone should be number 2 (how is she behind Melinda and Clay?) And Kelly Clarkson doesn't deserve the number five spot either. But I love that Blake Lewis is six...GO BLAKE!

11. i like to base the competition more on vocal talent than performance skills... so i think the list is unfair to some people. i think diana degarmo, jordin sparks, kat mcphee, and kelly clarkson should be higher ranked. there are a lot of people i think that should be lower on the scale, some of them are kellie pickler, taylor hicks, and reuben studdard. also, tamyra grey's "a house without a home" definetly should be there.

12. Blake is a joke and so is America. A beat box gets to the American Idol finals and you people still think this show is forreal. When they split up the three BLACK females with Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson and whats her name; I realized I would only watch American Idol when they made fun of people. Please people get serious. Blake beat over real talent and is head up with Jordan, if Jordan does not win; you idolizing people need to reall reevaluate your position with reality and fantasy. It is a very entertaining show, it gives the opportunity to most that owuld not have had the same opportunity without Idol; but come on now.

13. Kelly's "Stuff Like That There" should be #1 followed closely by Elliott's "Song For You". #3 is Fantasia's "Summertime" and then the remaining 20 are all Kelly and Elliott with a sprinkling of Chris Daughtry, Melinda and Tamyra. The rest? Bleh!

14. Hello, what is Katharine doing at No. 10!! Her version of Somewhere over the Rainbow gave me chills the first time I heard it! She sooooo should've won and it was without a doubt the best performance I'd ever seen on Idol. As for Fantasia at no.1, give me a break. Sure, she did a good job with that song, but it should be no. 6 max! I think Daughtry's Fuel song should be no.2 followed by Bridge over troubled water. Never saw that Bo Bice song so I can't say anything about that.

15. The best is not even on this list...Kelly Clarksons a Moment Like this is by far the best ever
