This is another great Daughtry song. Especially with his first two albums, the singles worked very well with radio. Congrats to fireflies for a perfect ranking!
Also, this is the last song to have over 100 points.

Just like in "Temporary Home", Carrie gets to do a little speaking in the music video. This is an emotional song in all the right ways.

5. Battlefield - Jordin Sparks 

[beyoncelover]

10. I love "Live Like We're Dying" so I'm glad to see this make it to the Top 10, although I was wishing and hoping for a little higher. But still Top 10 is fantastic for this and a great real debut single from Kris Allen.

9. Kelly is definitely the highlight of "Don't You Wanna Stay." Love her on this song and well done to this making the Top 10. If it weren't for Kelly on this, I probably wouldn't have cared for this, lol haha.

8. Really enjoy Daughtry's "No Surprise." It's not one of my very top faves of theirs nor would I have it this high but it's still a really enjoyable and solid song from them.

7. Ooh wow I forgot that I put Daughtry's "Life After You" at #12. But yay I do really like this song a lot and am glad to see it be the highest ranking Daughtry song here.

6. Aww I love Carrie's "Just A Dream" and am sad to see this miss out making the Top 5 and not being the highest ranked Carrie song. :( I'm actually surprised it doesn't have that honor. Such a gorgeous, emotional song from Carrie but she really delivers here.


A really solid Top 5 here. I got the following remaining: #1, 2, 4, 14 and 23. Rooting for either of my #1, 2 or 4 to win it and glad to have 3 of my Top 5 here. I'd be okay with #14 winning but really hope my #23 doesn't win, lol.

Of all the Carrie songs this time around, I'm glad this one did the best. It's a high-energy and fun song. It was a great lead off to her "Play On" album. *Look at all those top 3's!*

This is a great up-beat song from Kellie. The video serves us a ton of sassiness and hilarity. This one almost had all top 10 rankings!

[.indulgecountry]

All but one had it top 10 at least. 😪

Here comes another classic Kelly tune. This did well on radio and was a multi #1 hit on the Hot 100! Again, this was almost an all top 10 rankings. We lose three more #1's as we head into the finals!

A last place for this? Lol okay...

This is a soaring ballad from Jordin. It's powerful and extremely catchy. This single follows a string of hits she's already had. Congrats to beyoncelover for a perfect ranking!

Which means that:

#1 - Already Gone - Kelly Clarkson


Total Points: 49
Hot 100: #13

ccarter1023 - #3
beyoncelover - #4

The ballads won over. This was a beautiful song from our season 1 champ. I was really close at putting this in my top 10. This won with no #1 or #2 rankings. Impressive!

Kelly has now won both of the Best of Best segments: "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and "Already Gone".

5. Well done to Carrie's "Cowboy Casanova" as I do really like this one from her. Agreed that this was a fun song to kick off the Play On era. Impressive how this got 5 Top 3 rankings, although I feel bad I couldn't be apart of that as I enjoyed so many of these songs.

4. Oooof I feel like such an outlier here on Kellie's "Best Days of Your Life." This was a good and really fun song from Kellie. Up there as one of my favorites from her. Looking back, I think I ranked this a little too low - I know it was hovering around my Top 20 so maybe I could have put it around there? But still close enough. I do feel bad being the only one not to have this in their Top 10. But this was the one song I didn't want to win so I'm fine with it not winning.

3. Love Kelly's "My Life Would Suck Without You" but awww I'm sad to see this not win as I was rooting for this. :( Wow, 3 #1s is amazing for this song, but omgg whoa at that #40 ranking. I was NOT expecting that. But congrats to nathanalbright on preventing this from winning, I suppose lol.

2. I love Jordin's "Battlefield" and super glad to see this rank really high and well here. I love that I got another final perfect ranking here too. Although of the Top 2, I was kinda pulling for this to win as it would have been cool seeing Jordin with a bit of a surprise win but oh well. Great song and deserving of making it to 2nd!

1. I also love Kelly's "Already Gone" and think this is a really gorgeous song from her too. Wow, I'm shocked seeing this win with no #1 or #2 rankings though. That seems quite rare there. :o Congrats to Kelly winning two Best of the Best battles here too!


This was a lot of fun to be apart of! Yayy me for getting a bronze on overall winners + 3 perfect rankings on my first time playing this. I look forward to the next round!

I hear this all the time on SiriusXM and I hate it.  If I didn't have to hear it as much it would likely be less irritating.

[toomuchboy]

I'm glad Jordin had one song make it to the top 10, never would've expected #2! I admit I listened to that song over and over so much my mom despised by the time I was done, lol.

I've always felt AIEW was Kelly's best album--especially when her voice sounded the best. MLWSWY has aged a little, but that vocal is still gorgeous. Already Gone is so good, too. BDoYL is easily Kellie Pickler's best song, it's a shame she doesn't put out material anymore.

Sort of funny how Arthur Gunn actually does have an original winner's song rather than simply a cover, unfortunately it was for the following season when he only made it to / near the top 5, I believe? ("Save Me Now")

It's too bad we can't rank all the winners, too, lol. EDIT: By that I meant, ranking the winners (not any songs) as maybe an extra list to the song rankdowns sometime. :)

[beyoncelover]

Ooooh wow the Idols winner singles and Idols runners-up singles round. This is interesting. :o I know most of these songs well enough but some I'm not that familiar with (mainly the newer ABC seasons songs, lmao). This should be fun to revisit!

[beyoncelover]

Sent my rankings! That was really fun to go through. :)

[fireflies]

As of now, we have 5 lists submitted for both the Winners and the Runner-Ups!

1. nathanalbright
2. toomuchboy
3. beyoncelover
4. ccarter1023
5. fireflies

*We have 9 different #1 rankings. (The one repeat is with the winners.)

*We have 9 different #20 rankings. (The one repeat is with the winners.)

*We have 1 song with a #1 ranking and a #20 ranking. (This is with the runner-ups.)

[nathanalbright]

That means that there is going to be the usual trash talk here about people's taste. Joy.
