Carrie is a champion among champions in the American Idol world. It's very fitting for her to showcase other victors in this music video montage. |

Chris and Tori are a very good duet pair. This is a very relaxing song and still gives off great vocals. Tori was such a missed opportunity on her season, but she's done very well since. |

Chris Daughtry and his band had multiple pop-rock hits from their first few albums. They are still having success in the rock lane, but I can't wait till they come back and give us another radio smash. |

Pia has great range as a vocalist. She left way too early her season when she and Thia Megia were both cut in a double elimination after Casey Abrams was saved by the judges the week prior. |

Phillip's debut album was a big success for him. It included two smash hits, this one and "Home". He's recently been seeing some radio traction with his latest singles as well. Congrats to beyoncelover for a perfect ranking! |

This song continually re-enters the Hot 100 every year. I think it's a sure bet that it will crack top 10 next year since it just barely missed out this year. |

Daughtry consistently puts out great records. His shocking exit from the show only fueled his fire. He has become one of the most successful Idol alums. |

Kellie Pickler got done dirty </3
OTOH, Daughtry overstayed. This was my #40 and admittedly I didn't outright dislike it (or anything in my list), but it was a rather easy last place given all the excellent stuff in the RD.

Lauren had good luck on reality contests. She placed second on Idol and fourth on Dancing with the Stars. While this song missed out on the Hot 100, it still became a decent sized hit for her. |

Carrie and Brad sound good and feel comfortable together. It was very easy though since they've hosted so many award shows together. This is the last of the 6th place finishers. |

Kelly is a fun personality. Beyond all her success in music, she's done well as a judge and a talk show host. She knows the business pretty well by now. |

Lauren Alaina is so underrated. She's been serving bops for over a decade now and country radio still pays her dust.

Our top half begins with a wonderful single choice from Kelly. She always puts out good music videos, so I'm a little disappointed she hasn't released one yet from her latest album. |
