American Idol Series - Part 16 (Complete)

[castleoblivion26]

"Mad World" is incredible and deserved Top 5, sad it just missed out.

I'm thinking this could be between "Already Gone" or "Battlefield" for #1, though I wouldn't be upset to see "No Surprise" take it

[fireflies]

#5 - I Do Not Hook Up - Kelly Clarkson


Total Points: 64
Hot 100: #20

You can tell that this was a fun video to shoot. I thought this was a great follow-up to "My Life Would Suck Without You." Congrats to both bigd79 & .indulgecountry for perfect rankings!

[fireflies]

I will reveal our final 4 this evening!
Each of these songs have at least one #1 ranking!


*On a sidenote, I have started a new rankdown series for anyone that might be interested!

Chris Daughtry and his band just came off a massive era with his debut album. This song was a perfect choice to begin his sophomore set! Congrats to dee12 for a perfect ranking!

I was always excited when I heard this one on the radio. This song continued her success with pop radio and her Hot 100 entries. The video was breathtaking. Congrats to .indulgecountry for a perfect ranking!

[fireflies]

The Kelly/Kellie songs dominated our top two throughout this submission process.

"Battlefield" briefly was a #1 contender near the beginning as well.

[fireflies]

#2 - Best Days of Your Life - Kellie Pickler (with Taylor Swift)


Total Points: 32

This is a very catchy country-pop tune from Kellie. It's one of her biggest hits to date. It also doesn't hurt adding superstar Taylor Swift in the mix for some background vocals and a music video. The video was hilarious! Congrats to bigd79 for a perfect ranking!

Which means that:

#1 - Already Gone - Kelly Clarkson


Total Points: 22
Hot 100: #13

toomuchboy - #1

This is an absolutely gorgeous tune from Season 1 winner, Kelly Clarkson! The music video is stunning! Everybody ranked this in their top 5. Congrats to both toomuchboy and ccarter1023 for choosing the correct winner this rankdown!

[ccarter1023]

YAY for Kelly! Great song and well-deserving of #1!

Thank you fireflies for a great rankdown!!

The top 3 was perfect! I prefer Jordin to Pickler, but Best Days of Your Life is Pickler's best song versus Battlefield being just another great one of Jordin's for me--so I'm okay with Jordin going 3rd. Still, "Already Gone" is just so gorgeous, nothing else stood a chance.

Just curious, how do you determine which songs are going to be included for these rankdowns? Has this been explained in the past?

[fireflies]

bigd79

I'm including all the songs that made it onto the Hot 100 or the Bubbling Under charts. I'm going in order from the beginning to end in sets of 20.

The bonuses did not make either of those charts, but have been certified at least GOLD under the RIAA!

 (We had lots of performances make the cut from seasons 6-9.)

I find it really cool to see so many Idol contestants throughout the many seasons find at least a little bit of success!!

We have 3 weekends left to turn in lists for Part 8 of the American Idol series!

In a mix of many Kris and Adam performances, one from our 3rd-place finisher sneaks its way in. It's a beautiful ballad but will mark the only song to finish with over 100 points. Congrats to toomuchboy and castleoblivion26 for starting us out with perfect rankings!

The judges heap a lot of praise on this emotional cover from Adam! Congrats to castleoblivion26 for having back-to-back perfect rankings!

[castleoblivion26]

great start. I cannot stand Danny Gokey's voice, nor his personality. Plus I hate "You Are So Beautiful" as I find it to be such a dull song. Good riddance. "The Tracks Of My Tears" is rather overrated in my opinion, another song I just don't care for.

Miley Cyrus is a huge star now. Her career really started with her character on the Disney Channel hit show, Hannah Montana. She had a bunch of hits from the tv show, including this one. I love the David Cook reference in this scene!

This was a pretty good duet. Both Adam and Allison meshed well together. Usually, Idol had at least one person that rocked the pink or red hair. Allison was that person for season 8. Here is Allison's audition clip!

This song was a cover of the hit from Kings of Leon. She does a nice version of this and included it on her debut album.

[castleoblivion26]

"Slow Ride" deserved better here for sure. I loved the chemistry between Adam and Allison. Too bad they never did a proper duet on either of their albums.

Here is another of Adam's performances. I think this is one of his best ones. The note he holds out near the end is really well done!

Danny started out his career in the country genre. Soon after, he very successfully transitioned into the Christian genre. This is one of his biggest hits. I really enjoyed the music video! Here is Danny's audition clip!

I enjoyed this light-hearted pop song. It's very catchy and seems like it would fit just fine within a summer playlist.
