Ultimate American Idol Power Rankings

3. Chris Daughtry

First, there was Bo. Later, there was David Cook. But in between was Chris Daughtry, who carried the rocker torch that Bo handed him and passed it along to Cook. Daughtry's legitimate success as a pop rocker after the show likely helped fueled Cook's rise to the title in Season 7. He nailed classics like "Wanted Dead or Alive" and "I Walk the Line," and even made Bryan Adams' "Have You Ever Really Ever Loved a Woman?" sound good. -- Victor Balta, 'Eye on Idol'(Photo by Vince Bucci/Getty Images)
