The sixth season of American Idol premieres on Tuesday, January 16th, which means it's only a couple of weeks until the journey begins to find America's next singing sensation. Which is always fun. Today we're going to look at, through the show's first five seasons, who the best of the Idols have been. Now, this list is entirely subjective, as are the results of American Idol in general. The winners of each season are never necessarily the best singers who tried out that year; in fact, it is even unlikely. So, it is with this in mind that I have fashioned my list.
This top ten list is comprised of only those who won or finished second in their season. So, yeah, there's only ten former contestants who fit this bill, which makes for a tidy list. Where the subjectivity comes is the ranking. Again, this is just my opinion, and I'd be glad to hear yours. Click Below to Get Started. Start Page / #10 / #9 / #8 / #7 / #6 / #5 / #4 / #3 / #2 / #1
