#13 - Cryin' - Adam Lambert
Total Points: 71 Bubbling Under: #2
toomuchboy - #5 castleoblivion26 - #7 ClevelandRox - #11 dee12 - #15 bigd79 - #16 fireflies - #17
Adam always had good stage presence when giving a performance on Idol. His background in musical theatre surely helped with this. It's no wonder he sailed through to the finals.

Kris wowed audiences with intimate performances such as this. While being hailed as a dark horse, Kris knew his lane and stuck with it.

Kris Allen is my favorite male winner, that being said I've never been a big fan of "To Make You Feel My Love". I will say his is my favorite version with Adele and Garth not far behind but not a song I'd ever really go back to

The judges were more mixed on this one from Kris. While not my favorite from him, he most certainly has a charm about him that's very endearing.

I'd prefer to see "Future Love" and "Mama's Song" as the next two out but I doubt that'll be the case and it'll probably be "Feeling Good" and "Falling Slowly"

Our American Junior alum was tied with Kris' "What's Going On". Thanks to a #1 ranking, she was able to sneak into the top 10. This is a very fun pop song!

This is the last of Adam's Idol performances. He was just 3 points shy from making our top 8. Who would have thought back then that he would spend so many years performing as the frontman for Queen?!!

Kris Allen is my favorite of the male winners, too.
"Feeling Good" was so good live, in that white suit Lambert wore, he embodied it.

bigd79 - #2 fireflies - #4 dee12 - #4 castleoblivion26 - #14 ClevelandRox - #15 toomuchboy - #16
This is such a beautiful song. The music video makes the song itself so much better. I love how her mom and husband were included. This was such a special moment for Carrie, and it should be no surprise why this was chosen as her fourth single.

fireflies - #2 dee12 - #2 bigd79 - #3 castleoblivion26 - #3 toomuchboy - #9 ClevelandRox - #17
This is another great song/video for Carrie. The passion involved with this leaps off the page. This song was inspired by the book, "The Purpose Driven Life", by Rick Warren. Congrats to both bigd79 & castleoblivion26 for perfect rankings!

Concerning our top two and based on points:
WE HAVE A TIE!!
So, the highest rankings will determine which song will take home the gold.

#2 - Live Like We're Dying - Kris Allen
Total Points: 25 Hot 100: #18 PLATINUM
castleoblivion26 - #1 fireflies - #3 dee12 - #3 ClevelandRox - #5 bigd79 - #5 toomuchboy - #8
Kris entered his career fast with his debut single. It was great hearing this one on the radio and seeing it do so well. This was also the only song this rankdown in which everyone ranked it in their top10!
Which means that...
#1 - Cowboy Casanova - Carrie Underwood
Total Points: 25 Hot 100: #11 3X PLATINUM
fireflies - #1 bigd79 - #1 dee12 - #1 castleoblivion26 - #4 ClevelandRox - #6 toomuchboy - #12
This is one of my favorite up-tempos from Carrie. It's a lot of fun and has become one of her biggest hits to date. Congrats to fireflies, bigd79 & dee12 for picking the winning song! These three #1's gave it the slight edge over Kris - who earned a single #1 ranking from castleoblivion26.
All in all, these top two songs are excellent. I'm glad they both did so well!

Back when Idol showcased many "bad" auditions, the General graced viewers with his presence. Apart from William Hung, this was a huge Idol moment. Thankfully, this song has a very direct and heartfelt message. Congrats to both castleoblivion26 and dee12 for starting us off with perfect rankings! Here is the General's infamous audition:

only correct choice for last. I remember seeing this and it was a moment for sure but beyond that it isn't anything I ever planned to revisit and therefore it belongs at the bottom.
Now if both Danny Gokey songs can leave next that would be great, can't stand him or his voice
