I know this exists somewhere else on this board but I'm too lazy to find it -________- so we shall start a new one! It can be any performance, from any season of American Idol.

So I shall start with...

Chris Daughtry - Hemorrhage

9.5/10...that was when Chris became like, AWESOME

David Archuleta - The Long and Winding Road

10/10 only because it was SUCH an improvement from the previous week, when David absolutely sucked.


Carrie Underwood - Alone

10/10...one of my favorite Idol performances EVER.

Jordin Sparks - I Who Have Nothing

9/10 UM INCREDIBLE. Suuuch powerful emotion and vocals on this song

Constantine Maroulis - Bohemian Rhapsody

9.5/10...definitely his best performance.

Kellie Pickler - Bohemian Rhapsody (LOL)

omg... thats what I was gonna post next, lol.

But yeah 6.5/10.. not that it was BAD, it was just...AWKWARD. I watched it over again today and I agree with Simon that it was like "night of the living dead" at the beginning :rotflmao:

Sanjaya Malakar - Bathwater

10/10!!1 best performance ever!11

LOL ok no, 4.5/10. it wasnt as bad as "You Really Got Me"...but...yeah. LOL

Katharine McPhee - Black Horse and the Cherry Tree

8.5/10 Excellent choice of song for her, but a bit too easy.. not really enough vocal range IMO

Katharine McPhee - Bringing Out the Elvis in Me

9/10...i thought that was one of her better ones.

Diana DeGarmo - Do You Love Me

10/10 while it may not be Diana's best performance, this one is actually my favorite of hers, along with Don't Cry Out Loud.

John Stevens - Crocodile Rock

5.5/10...it was bad, yet entertaining. LOL

Alaina Whitaker - More Today Then Yesterday

9/10 I loved it and I think that she deserves to be in the top 12. Two WAY less talented girls (Kady and Kristy) made it farther than she did and I think that is WRONG.

Vonzell Solomon - Let's Hear it For the Boy

i agree...Alaina was robbed. she was my favorite girl this year. :(

anyway...9.5/10, i really liked that performance. it was Vonzell's best IMO.

Bo Bice - I Don't Want to Be

10/10 Loved it...I think it was around this point that I really started to like Bo.

Lisa Tucker - Why Do Fools Fall in Love

6.5/10...it wasnt her best one. Lisa was kind of sad, she started off awesome then completely crashed and burned.

Mikalah Gordon - God Bless the Child

is there a YouTube vid of Carrie singing 'Alone'? I didn't watch when she was on and heard she nailed it. No surprise, of course.;)

Carrie's Alone Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nMBSDpB3WB8



To Mikalah's performance:
9.5/10 - EASILY her best.

Melinda Doolittle - I've Got Rhythm

9/10...one of her best performances, probably her all-time best after "My Funny Valentine"


Brooke White - Love is a Battlefield

9/10 very unique, and I think I started to really like her after this

Bucky Covington - Fat Bottomed Girls

LOL i actually thought this was one of his better ones...it was my favorite by him after "Superstition". so...8/10.

John Stevens - King of the Road

[QUOTE=Krisalicious]Carrie's Alone Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nMBSDpB3WB8


Thanx. :)

EmoJoe: Nice pic of Archuleta. I always knew he was a "g." lol.

9/10 actually one of his best performances .. let's face it, all the rest were pretty EHHH. lol

Danny Noriega - Tainted Love

lmao i liked it...i thought it was his best performance, and it was funny. 9/10

Anthony Fedorov - I Knew You Were Waiting

7/10 It was okay, but I dunno...just a little weird to me.

Bo Bice - Vehicle

9/10...one of his better ones i think.

Kellie Pickler - Walkin' After Midnight

8/10 I like it

Luke Menard - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

4/10...uhh...LOL. no comment.

Alexandrea Lushington - Spinning Wheel

8/10 I thought she sang this song really well. If she didn't pick a crappy song the following week, I think she MAY have had a chance of making top 12.

Chris Daughtry - Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman

10/10 one of his best

JPL- A Little Less Conversation

9/10 loooove it, too bad he got voted out after this

George Huff - Take Me to the Pilot

8/10 it was pretty decent

Taylor Hicks - Levon

9/10 loooove it, too bad he got voted out after this


No, that got him in, Jailhouse Rock got him out

ok for Levon....8/10 lol, i dont like him but i actually kinda liked that performance. it wasnt spaztic and annoying like all of his other ones.

Lisa Tucker - I Am Changing

No, that got him in, Jailhouse Rock got him out

Ohhhh right. I got mixed up with the Elvis songs lol.

Haha and I couldn't remember Lisa's performance so I just youtubed it. I give it an 8/10...she sounded amazing but I don't think it was the greatest song choice.. sorta boring.

Kevin Covais - Vincent

6.5/10...it wasnt his WORST but it was kinda boring. he was more entertaining with the upbeat stuff.

Jasmine Trias - Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me

6/10....Not a fan.

Mikalah Gordon - Love Will Lead You Back

7/10...it wasnt a good vocal but i really like this performance for some reason. i dont even know why. i just do.

Carrie Underwood - When Will I Be Loved

9/10...I'm biased. ;)

Vondell Solomon - On The Radio

7.5/10...not her BEST performance but i thought she did pretty decenly with it

Brooke White - Happy Together

8/10, not her best, but I liked it

8/10, not as good as his previous two performances, but it was pretty good


Jordin Sparks - You'll Never Walk Alone

9/10 I think she did a beautiful job with it

Scott Savol - On Broadway

6/10... he made me loathe that song

9/10...this was awesome. what happened Rami? :( guess she peaked too soon.

7/10 notttt one of my faves

Anthony Fedorov - I Surrender

9/10...probably Anthony's best performance.

Constantine Maroluis - My Funny Valentine

7/10 I don't really like it O_O, some people think it's one of his best but I wasn't feelin' it.

Carly Smithson - Blackbird

8.5/10...not her best, but she did a nice job with the song.

Kevin Covais - When I Fall in Love

awww I'm gonna say 9/10, not that it was amazing vocals or anything but just because it is so heartwarming :lol:

Jessica Sierra - Total Eclipse of the Heart

9/10...definitely her best performance...she was incredible with that song.

LaToya London - Ain't Nobody

7/10 It's alright but she's had a lot of better performances

Carrie Underwood - Man! I Feel Like a Woman

7.5/10...wasnt her best, but i still love her. :happyface

Katharine McPhee - Someone to Watch Over Me

9/10 Beautiful job

Sanjaya Malakar - Besame Mucho

7/10 His best performance

Fantasia - Summertime

8/10 OVERRATED...just like everything else she did. i'm bias but i honestly did think she had better performances. it was good, but not The BESt PErforMance EVER!11

Clay Aiken - Bridge Over Troubled Water

25/10 (yes I did just say that) Clay's best performance ever...one of the best idol performances of ALL TIME!!!!!


Ruben Studdard - Flying Without Wings

10/10. Both Ruben and that song RULE.

Lisa Wilson - Come To My Window :p

you suck Lynn :mad: WHO IS LISA WILSON?

I dont even REMEMBER her, wait was she the one from season3 that was swimming instead of rehearsing?

If this is who I think it is, and I vaaaaguely remember it... I remember the performance being really horrible lol. And Jack, I think you are right. Anyways, being a half guess at it being really bad I'll say 3/10 lol

OKAY NOW BACK TO THE REAL GAME :p

Elliot Yamin - It Had to Be You

you suck Lynn :mad: WHO IS LISA WILSON?
WTH, you all don't remember Lisa? She was the one with the HUGE mouth when she sang. Simon commented on it. She was horrible. :lol: She was in season 3, I believe.

If this is who I think it is, and I vaaaaguely remember it... I remember the performance being really horrible lol. And Jack, I think you are right. Anyways, being a half guess at it being really bad I'll say 3/10 lol

OKAY NOW BACK TO THE REAL GAME :p

9/10

8/10...I was a big Tamyra fan back in the day.

Jordin Sparks - A Broken Wing

7.5/10. Don't care for that song since it's overdone, so it wasn't a favorite of mine from her. Still a great vocal, though.

Kellie Pickler - Blame it On the Sun

6/10 eh I just didn't like it.. didn't suit her at all IMO

Ace Young - Father Figure

8.5/10, it was a good performance, but that song creeps me out so it lessened my enjoyment of it :lol: probably his best performance though.

Melinda Doolittle - Have a Nice Day

7/10 it's a little MEH because I mean Bon Jovi and Melinda is a weird mix, just like John Stevens and Gloria Estefan :lol: but it was alright

Taylor Hicks - Crazy Little Thing Called Love

6.5/10...not Taylor's best performance.

keeping with the Season 5 pattern... (though Melinda wasnt Season 5 :p )

8/10 pretty good.. we going with semi-unknown contestants? Okay :p

Janay Castine - Hit Em Up Style

Janay. :rofl: 5.5/10. Distracted by her HORRIFIED eyes. :grady:

Jon Peter Lewis -Tiny Dancer

I love JPL and this performance, even though its not that amazing, so 9/10 (slightly biased)

Luke Menard - Killer Queen

7.5/10. Not bad.

8/10 I think he sang it really well and the song fit him perfectly

Anwar Robinson - Moon River

8/10...it was a good performance, i always found him to be kind of overrated though.

10/10 Great one!

10/10...truly an awesome performance, and i dont even like Constantine that much.

Carrie Underwood - Angels Brought Me Here

9/10 not one of my favorites, but still undoubtedly good

Chris Richardson - Geek in the Pink

2/10 she was just BAAAADDDDDD. Thank God she didn't make the finals.

Haley Scarnato - Tell Him

7/10, probably her best. but that isnt saying much.

Juanita Barber - What About the Children :rofl:

7/10, probably her best. but that isnt saying much.

Juanita Barber - What About the Children :rofl:
WHY JOE WHY?!?!?!?!? YOU JUST MADE ME LOOK THAT UP AND THAT WAS THE WORST THING EVER Scott, Sanjaya,Bucky, and every other bad singer and performance including Kristy's Eight Days a Week was AWESOME compared to that


1/10 for the performance , but that was an awesome meltdown

ok the performance itself I guess a 3/10 but overall a 1/10 because I can somewhat tolerate people who talk back to the judges when they are criticized, but themselves think they're hot sh.it (i.e. Scott Savol) but this woman was just ANNOYING and downright rude :lol:

SPEAKING OF HIM

Scott Savol - Dance With My Father

ok the performance itself I guess a 3/10 but overall a 1/10 because I can somewhat tolerate people who talk back to the judges when they are criticized, but themselves think they're hot sh.it (i.e. Scott Savol) but this woman was just ANNOYING and downright rude :lol:

SPEAKING OF HIM

Scott Savol - Dance With My Father
LOL yeah DEW YEW KNOW WHO AH AM? LOL



Ok I take it back, that Scott performance made Juanita look good 0/10



DGoing with the contestants talking back to judges theme


Danny Noriega-Jailhouse Rock

9/10 I don't care what Simon says.. I loved that performance... AND DANNY!

Nikko Smith - I Want You Back

8/10...i really liked that performance. i think Nikko was underrated in Season 4. he was very mainstream and had a good voice and should've made it further IMO

Kim Locke - Inseperable

8/10...i really liked that performance. i think Nikko was underrated in Season 4. he was very mainstream and had a good voice and should've made it further IMO

Kim Locke - Inseperable

I definitely agree. It always annoyed me that he got voted out so early while someone else (GUESS WHO) makes it to top 5...incredible huh?

Anyway for Kim Locke 9/10 I LOOOOOOVE this performance. One of my favorites by her!

Ace Young - We Will Rock You

6/10...it wasn't very good. weird song to sing on Idol.

Mandisa - I Don't Hurt Anymore

9/10 Great... she left FAR too early in season 5. She was way more talented than some of the contestants who outlasted her.

Kelly Clarkson - Natural Woman

9.5/10...one of Kelly's best performance.

Carly Smithson - Without You

7/10.. I had REALLY high expectations for this but she kinda disappointed me. She was way too shouty at times and oversang it.

Ayla Brown - I Turn To You

wait didnt she sing Reflection?

You are absolutely right. WHOOPS. I meant that one. Haha

ok Reflection gets an 8.5/10...she surprised me cause she did REALLY well and i was expecting her to be cannon fodder. i still say she should've made the top 12 over Melissa. :snob:

Carrie Underwood - MacArthur Park

9/20 Leave it to Carrie to make a horrible song sound great

David Archuleta- You're the Voice

7/10...aside from We Can Work it Out it was my least favorite performance from him. just a really odd, dumb, obscure song. he sang it pretty well though.

David Cook - Always Be My Baby

7/10 I'm really not as OMGGGGGGG about this performance as the majority of people are. He sang it well, but I personally did not like his arrangement. It was a little depressing sounding, actually, when the original is quite happy and upbeat.

Blake Lewis - You Keep Me Hanging On

i totally agree with you lol -_- about Always Be My Baby.

anyway...i give it an 8/10. really unique and original...was that the first time he 'remixed' a song? but yeah. i liked it.

Jasmine Trias - Everlasting Love

5/10 definitely one of her weakest

La Toya London - Don't Rain on My Parade

9/10...probably one of her best performances.

Fantasia - Something About the Way You Look Tonight

9/10 a good performance by her, because it wasn't too shouty/screechy

Camille Velasco - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

8/10 love the tone of her voice

Kimberly Caldwell - Come to my Window

7/10 decent performance from her, but I didn't think it was that great

Ruben Studdard - A Whole New World

bump?

8.5/10. <333

Chris Richardson - Change The World

LOOOOVE this performance. 10/10

Michael Johns - Dream On

7.5/10...not his best but definitely not worthy of elimination o_O

Blake Lewis - Virtual Insanity

9/10. BSHORTYY.

Ruben Studdard - If Ever You're In My Arms Again

8/10 He sang it well, but eh it was kind of boring

John Stevens - King of the Road

BUMP.

anyway...7.5/10 for that John performance. it wasnt that good vocally but it was fun to watch lol.

Jennifer Hudson - Circle of Life

8/10 It's pretty good...I know a lot of people regard this as her best performance, but I think her best is "I Have Nothing" (even if it got her voted out.. lol)

Syesha Mercado - One Rock n'Roll Too Many

didnt Weekend in New England get her voted out?

ANYWAY...9/10. Syesha's best performance, and the performance where i started to like her.

Jason Castro - Memory

didnt Weekend in New England get her voted out?

ANYWAY...9/10. Syesha's best performance, and the performance where i started to like her.

Jason Castro - Memory

Indeed it did. For some reason I at first thought she went home during "Movies" week. But that was Jon Peter Lewis.

8/10 Lol most people hate this performance but I really like it...guilty pleasure I guess. I think he showed a lot of emotion throughout the song and it sounded pretty.

Chris Richardson - Don't Get Around Much Anymore

6.5/10...not a great vocal but he showed some personality. it was alright.

Jordin Sparks - If We Hold On Together

8/10 love it... and it brings back memories of my childhood watching the Land Before Time lol

Carly Smithson - Jesus Christ Superstar

9/10, one of her best performances for sure, right up there with "Come Together" and "Here You Come Again". its a shame she got voted off after it.

David Archuleta - Another Day in Paradise

7/10 He sang it and played the piano pretty well I guess, but it was such a boring song... didn't really show off his mass amount of talent that I know he has <3

Chikezie - I've Just Seen a Face

8/10...it was good. kinda weird though lol.

David Archuleta - In This Moment

56 trillion/10. Absolutely incredible...someone sure was ROBBED this year huh?

David Archuleta - Stand By Me

10/10. my second favorite performances of the season. and yes, he was robbed :( but i think he'll be fine as runner-up. maybe even better off. have you heard who Cook is working with? Jesse McCartney. yes, "Beautiful Soul" Jesse McCartney. maybe he's better off as second. :)

keeping with the David Archuleta theme :p...

David Archuleta - Think of Me

[QUOTE=EmoJoe]10/10. my second favorite performances of the season. and yes, he was robbed :( but i think he'll be fine as runner-up. maybe even better off. have you heard who Cook is working with? Jesse McCartney. yes, "Beautiful Soul" Jesse McCartney. maybe he's better off as second. :)
/QUOTE]
LOL I saw that and he's working with Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic too, actually theyre both gonna write a song for him, they wrote another song too, Bleeding Love.....


I think I made my point

10/10. my second favorite performances of the season. and yes, he was robbed :( but i think he'll be fine as runner-up. maybe even better off. have you heard who Cook is working with? Jesse McCartney. yes, "Beautiful Soul" Jesse McCartney. maybe he's better off as second. :)

keeping with the David Archuleta theme :p...

David Archuleta - Think of Me
10/10 Great performance



David Archuleta- Smokey Mountain Memories

10/10? dam Jack :lol: im a huge Archie fan and i even i wouldnt give that one 10/10. love the studio recording though.

anyway Smoky Mountain Memories...9.5/10. another awesome David performance

CONTINUING THE THEME..

David Archuleta - Shop Around

I dont know, I didnt know what else to give it, maybe 9/10



9/10 for Shop Around

David Archuleta- Dont Let the Sun Go Down On Me

10/10 my second favorite performance of his... first is Stand By Me

Should I keep up with the theme?

...EH WHAT THE HECK.

David Archuleta - With You

9/10- Vocally not his best but it was just so randomly hilarious

Speaking of randomly hilarious performances, here's the next one cause I felt like randomly searching

Janay Castine- Hit Em Up Style

For those who dont remember the hilarious trainwreck wtatch here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvQfLffzLmQ

ummm...3/10. one of the worst performances of Season 4. Janay SUCKED lol. no idea how she lasted past the first week.

Kristy Lee Cook - Forever

9/10 Even though I don't care for her, I think this is definitely one of her best performances.

Bobby Bennett - Copacabana

2/10...:rofl: oh GOD. one of the worst performances of Season 5. just seriously awful lol. no idea how he made the top 24.

Sanjaya Malakar - Something to Talk About

5/10 it was bad, but not his absolute WORST... that one would have to be You Really Got Me -______-

Kellie Pickler - Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered

5/10. Kellie rules...but this was a pretty bad performance :lol:

David Cook - Music of the Night

*cringes as she types this because she has a slight hatred toward him for beating Archie*

but 10/10... this is my absolute FAVORITE D. Cook performance. His voice sounds incredible in it and it was a nice change away from his typical changing the arrangement of something to make it into a rock song.

Syesha Mercado - Fever

i agree like 100% with your post. lol. i kinda dislike now...well i dont DISLIKE him, i just think he's really overrated...but i really like that performance.

ANYWAY...7.5/10 for Fever. it was kinda boring, but she sang it well. not as good as Paris's from Season 5 though.

Kellie Pickler - Fancy

9/10 definitely one of her best performances

Chris Daughtry - A Little Less Conversation

7/10...not one of his better ones. still not worthy of elimination though : o

looks we're starting a Season 5 theme, SO i may as well continue with it

Katharine McPhee - Think

7.5/10 Not her best but she did a good job with it, and I dont know why she picked it for the encores CD


Chris Daughtry- Higher Ground

9.5/10, i think that was one of his best performances. though the dam lighting almost gave me a SEIZURE.

Mandisa - Never

9/10 An excellent performance, but idk, all her performances kinda sound the same to me :lol:

Ace Young - Butterflies

7/10


David Archuleta-Stand By Me

10/10 EASILY!

Matt Giraud - Part Time Lover
