#2 - Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood
Total Points: 81 Hot 100: #8 7X PLATINUM
toomuchboy - #2 dee12 - #2 ccarter1023 - #4 taylor is terrified - #6 fireflies - #7 castleoblivion26 - #9 .indulgecountry - #10 ClevelandRox - #13 back2blk - #14 bboat11 - #14
Our series #3 winner takes home Silver but certainly struck gold when she got her hands and voice on this song! It's already been certified 6X platinum. Throughout the years to come, I can imagine this song getting many more certifications. Congrats to toomuchboy & dee12 for perfect rankings!
Which means that:
#1 - Behind These Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson
Total Points: 80 Hot 100: #6 PLATINUM
fireflies - #1 castleoblivion26 - #2 toomuchboy - #3 bboat11 - #3 dee12 - #8 .indulgecountry - #8 back2blk - #10 ClevelandRox - #15 ccarter1023 - #15 taylor is terrified - #15
This is such a powerful song from Kelly. The music video totally brings this to life and her vocals are on fire! Everyone had this in their top 15, which is wonderful to see! Congrats to fireflies for picking the winning song! This was a photo race finish. Only 1 point divided Kelly and Carrie! It came down to the wire. Before the last list came in, "Before He Cheats" was ahead by 10 points. But, in the end, the "Hazel Eyes" crossed the finish line first!

Wait, I forgot that "Wasted" went out early than it should've I'll go find some crow!!!! Poor BHC. Except for one time it's always been stuck at #2; it's almost funny at this point! But at least she wasn't a slouch and almost had it again!!! Kelly is a worthy person to beat Carrie, but I do wish it was with something like "Breakaway." Thanks for hosting!!

Sad i missed out on this. I don’t think i’ve ever really spent much time in this section of pulse. I started watching AI because of Carrie but i continued to watch it pretty religiously until the season that Mariah and Nicki Minaj were judges. My interest definitely started to fade around that time, although i do still watch here and there.
Over the years there have been numerous singers that i have bought albums from because of this show...obviously Carrie but also Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Lauren Alaina, Kat McPhee, David Cook, Kellie Pickler, Jordin Sparks, Philip Phillips, i think even have Lee Dwyze’s post idol album... i may even be forgetting some others

So glad Kellie Pickler was able to sneak into the top 10 with her signature hit amongst all the mega Carrie and Kelly smashes. Also very happy with the winner as "Hazel Eyes" is one of Kelly's best!

Total Points: 105 Bubbling Under: #18
bigd79 - #7 .indulgecountry - #16 ClevelandRox - #19 dee12 - #20 fireflies - #21 toomuchboy - #22
I really enjoyed the fact that David called himself a "Word Nerd." David always stayed true to himself on the show and it helped him gain a big fanbase throughout his run. Congrats to fireflies for back-to-back perfect rankings!

A slew of female artists joined Carrie in this very successful tribute for people battling cancer. One-time American Idol judge Mariah Carey joined in as well.

It was interesting hearing Carrie Underwood's voice alongside all those other big names.

toomuchboy - #8 ClevelandRox - #11 fireflies - #13 .indulgecountry - #18 dee12 - #22 bigd79 - #22
This song has been covered numerous times by many different artists. Jason's version was so well-received that he decided to include it on his album. Here is a bit of Jason's audition clip!

Hallelujah was one of those songs that I loved till it was covered to absolute death on these shows. But Jason Castro's really stood out as one of the best.

Kind of shocked that Castro's "Hallelujah" is that low. To the point about it being covered to death, I suppose you could blame Castro for that. He kind of started it all with this cover. No surprise, since it was so good.

Paula differed from Randy and Simon with this performance. She loved it and made known to them the message on David's hand - "Give Back."

We are ending the night with the last of David Cook's Idol performances. I thought this was his best one, so I'm glad that it lasted the longest! He still has a couple of post-season songs left.

I'm not crazy about "Innocent"'s live performance, but I loved the Studio version. One of my favorites from his time on the show, for sure.

Glad we're getting all the live covers from the show out first. They just don't stack up against the studio music, especially when it's someone like David Cook who I'm already not super that into anyway, lol.

This was a nice rendition from Archie. I love this musical and really enjoyed the Emmy Rossum film that came out many years ago. This tied with "Hungry Like the Wolf" but the #3 rank gave it the edge. Congrats to bigd79 for a perfect ranking!
