The Ultimate, All-Time 'Idol' Rankings
Alright, America. You asked for it, you got it! OK, maybe you didn't ask, per se, but I knew you wanted it, so here it is: The Ultimate "American Idol" Power Rankings.That's right. Like Dr. Frankenstein, I've been working in the "Eye on Idol" lab for weeks to pull together this unstoppable force -- a collection of all 82 "Idol" finalists, from Season 1 through Season 7 -- ranked from the worst (OK, I'll just tell you it's Corey Clark) to the best (OK, fine, I'll tell you it's... psych!).
Where did your favorite "Idol" land? Who's No. 1? Who just missed the Top 10?

Well, that's some list Victor...I definitely don't agree with all of it...hahaha! However, it's way too long to have me point out ALL your errors. I do want to watch the show tonight and it would take me til' at least midnight or later to fix your "list".
Therefore, I will just point out your really MOST GLARING ERRORS....Kelly Clarkson at #1?....duh, sorry, no how, no way...should be:
David Cook at #1 (best to come out of Idol so far)
Clay Aiken at #2 (following right on DC's heels, should have beat Ruben)
Carrie Underwood at #3
Chris Daughtry at #4 (should have beat Taylor Hicks)
Kat McPhee at #5 (should have beat Taylor Hicks)
David Archuleta at #6 (would have won except for DC)
Michael Johns at #7 (duh, you have Michael at #42??????---Michael got shafted big time last season!!)
Bo Bice at #8 (would have won season 4 except for CU)
Jordin Sparks at #9
Jason Castro at #10 (One of the BEST but not recognized by all)
Kelly Clarkson at #11
Ruben Studdard at #12
....and for the rest, well, who cares?
HAHAHA....very nice Victor but please continue to work on it!...lol! Thank you....

Oh, and one more thing, I would have put Sanjaya Malakar at #82 (out of 82)....He was the biggest joke to come out of Idol!!...sheesh...you have him at #79...giving him way too much credit!....RLMBO!!!!
Well...I could have said "who cares" about Ruben but I thought he was okay...just HATED IT when he beat Clay. I didn't watch Season 3 cuz I was just so disgusted with the results of Season 2. Anyway...Ruben is a good guy and deserves to be in my top 12...he did have a nice smooth "teddy bear" voice and style...not really my personal fave though.
i have only one thing to say about this list, why did yopu put taylor hicks up so high??????????? the biggest disappointment in american idol winners!!!
As for Michael Johns being #42...oh come on, Victor, that is really just too shocking. He should have placed at least at #3 in Season 7 instead of going out at #8 (?). It would have been good to have had the "save" in place that year. The UPROAR and DISMAY by fans was tremendous. I think people thought he would be safe and when he wasn't, well...the poop did hit the fan!!! I think he and DC were just too much alike and the votes got split between the two quite possibly. In any case, he got the SHAFT that year fer sure.
I want you all to know that I have Michael as the wallpaper on my computer screen so that when I log on every time I see his face. We will never forget you Michael!....full speed ahead with your career!....You're doing great and we LOVE you!!!

Another one who I wanted to see do well was Lindsay Cardinale. I loved her voice.
JPL deserved to be higher than #47!
And I'm glad to see you gave Constantine a pretty high ranking.....he put out a really good album.
You'll notice Victor didn't include this year's contestants. He'll claim it's too early to tell, but the truth is, he just wouldn't know what to do with Adam!

Victor, I don't see how you could rank Camille Velasco as high as #53! She never lived up to her early potential.
geesh......so close to show time they are almost not even spoilers
Idol sure is holding the cards close to the vest this year..................
LOL Gotta know when to hold em......know when to fold em

Well, I can't see Megan doin' "For Once in My Life"...doesn't seem to be her style....there isn't much wiggle power in that song. I thought fer sure Megan would sing "Please Mr. Postman"...she could have really shimmied and jiggled up a storm with that one! Also, I had Adam doing "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and now Allison's gone and stolen it...sheesh.
Just how accurate is your "spoiler alert" karynfab? I still want to know where you get your info. Send me a forum message...come on tell Momma5 (pretty please w/sugah)....hmmmm

Holy Crap!
I'm not sure if I can listen to Adam....I know he's gonna scream...blecch!
Gotta give Allison props for tackling "Papa..." though. I hope she kills it.

Go Megan! That might be a good choice after all.
Momma.............Kfab has friends in low places LOL
"How "accurate is your "spoiler alert"...........
I dunno Momma what would you say my rate of accuracy has been last year and this year????

Don't agree with your choice of Jason Castro at #21. I think he should be in the 60's.
Pretty good list though!
