Best American Idol Contestants

This video is kinda the same as my other video but with a few positions changed. It also has clips of the actual performances by the contestants. Since AI doesn't let YouTube have season 8 videos, I couldn't get any. Anyway, watch, rate and/or fave and/or comment on the video.

1. Kelly Clarkson
2. Carrie Underwood
3. Tamyra Gray
4. David Cook
5. Melinda Doolittle
6. Chris Daughtry
7. Clay Aiken
8. Fantasia
9. Adam Lambert
10. Jennifer Hudson
11. La Toya London
12. Kris Allen
13. Elliot Yamin
14. Bo Bice
15. David Archuleta
16. Allison Iraheta
17. Katherine McPhee
18. Jordin Sparks
19. LaKisha Jones
20. Michael Johns

About the people in my list and the way I've ranked them, just understand it's only my opinion of who's the best. Just because I say it and put up a video about it, doesn't make it fact. I've tried my best to rank them based on vocals, originality, creativity, charisma and to a certain extend I'm guilty of leaning towards those people who's style I prefer.

david cook at 4... you've got to be kidding me, he's not even in top 10 in my books.

[coolidge909]

I'm sorry I don't follow your book. I've got my own book and THERE HE IS at #4!!!!!!!

In my books he's the best male contestant ever. I won't change it until somebody much more awesome comes on the show.

[coolidge909]

yeah it's just my opinion. I put those guys above him not because of how high they can sing or how original they were (except DC who i think has it over Adam vocally and originality wise). i like male voices that are rich, emotive, powerful and a little bit of grit to add to it. i can't say that i'm a huge fan of Adam's higher range which is what he usually sings in but he has beautiful falsetto. I also think Adam is definitely one of the biggest entertainers that the show has had.

Katharine McPhee for Miss USA

i like it but i just don't understand how adam lambert isn't #1 ???

[agreen21000lost]

you ranked adam lambert to low

[agreen21000lost]

m johns is my favorite

[AdommyLambliff]

Ok I'm kinda happy Adam is before Kris, but cmon.. 9th place? That's insane. Adam should be number 1. He's the best contestant ever to atep on the American Idol stage.

adam at #9 sriously? he's the best of all of them...

[BreakPics]

i think the best idols are the runner ups

[Fishqueen1972]

I would have put Kris Allen in the top 5, of course he is my fav.

[halabrdave]

Why is people questioning about David Cook? Even when he is featured with Billie Jean, the best performance of all time on the show, people can accept he is the best male ever on idol? I also think Bo Bice should be much higher, better than Adam who should be slightly higher too. I would exchange LaToya with Tamyra. Other than that I like it, although Carrie wasn't that great of a contestant, outside Idol is the opposite.
