I tried to pick the real clunkers there, but there's only so many options, so if you think it's anyone else (Vanessa Olivarez, Jim Varraros, Camille Velasco, Matt Rogers etc) You'll have to just say.
I think overall, John peter Lewis, but Ryan Starr's "You Really Got Me" was really shockingly awful.....

I'm torn between Nikki, Carmen, and John Stevens. All were clearly the worst finalists in their respective seasons, but I'll give it to John thanks to the laughably bad "Lately," "My Girl," and "Crocodile Rock."

I don't think Nikki was THAT bad. Ryan Starr was like an even worse version of the same thing. Nikki had a couple of good performances, notably 'Hard Hearted Hannah' and 'Always Something There To Remind Me'.

EJ Day narrowly beats out JPL for the worst finalist ever. EJ Day was terrible.

John Stevens... vocally (overall), he's probably better than most of the finalists listed, but going by AI performances only he's laughably bad.

Nikki had a couple of good performances, notably 'Hard Hearted Hannah' and 'Always Something There To Remind Me'. For me, Always Something There To Remind Me was one of her worst performances. Not only did she sound terrible, but having her kid cry and run over to give her flowers after Simon critiqued her was beyond exploitative. Ryan was also pretty bad ("You Really Got Me" was one of the worst Season 1 performances), but at least she only placed 7th, as opposed to Nikki, who placed third and outlasted at least 2 people more talented than her (Tamyra and RJ). |

How could you leave out Jim Verraros? His rendition of "Easy" is pure misery to sit through. He coasted into the Top 10 on mere sympathy for his deaf parents.
That said, John Stevens is awful too. I can't pick between the two of them. The worst three definitely includes those two and John Peter Lewis. At least everyone else could carry some semblance of a tune.

Just going on the 3rd season... Jon Peter Lewis EASILY.
John Stevens was awful within the context of the show because he can only sing one style. However, he can sing that style well.
JPL was just a train wreck in every way imaginable and he looked like a hobbit. There were no redeeming factors and he actually started to think he was really good and got cocky towards the end.
At least John Stevens knew he didn't belong and took it well when he was criticised.
