One of my favorite winner's ever

[xDramatick]

Second best winner of all time [after Kelly Clarkson] IMO.

I've backed him throughout most of this series and I'm so glad he won.

[CassetteFinger]

No one and i mean no one can beat Carrie Underwood as best winner. It's a fact.

[Arneldo]

Just one the performances, only shown here today in Ireland.

I think on the night David A was the best. His performance of "Dont Let The Sun Go Down On Me" is my favorite of the series.

However, over all through out I think David Cook was the best and I'm glad he won.

Well.
In MY opinion.
David Cook's the best winner since Kelly Clarkson.
Since they're the only two I've liked.

Carrie's good but I'm not keen on her stuff.

What about Jordin? But I agree, David is, I think, my favourite AI winner.

I'd rank them:

1. David
2. Kelly
3. Jordin
4. Carrie
6. Taylor

Didnt see S2 or S3 so dont include them.

I never liked Jordin, I still think Blake or Melinda shoulda won. or Gina =\
&I still believe that Katherine should've won S5 too.

I'd rank them:
1. Kelly.
2. David.
-------------
3. Carrie.
4. Jordin.
5. Ruben.
6. Taylor.

I agree, Melinda or Gina should have won S6, but I think Jordin is still better then Carrie or Taylor. Paris should have won S5, IMO. Taylor was awful.

[xDramatick]

Paris was good, but I liked Katharine from the very start.
She won me over with Over The Rainbow in the final and I honestly thought she'd win. Taylor WAS awful.

Gina's voice was fantastic, and she reminded me of a modern 'My December' era Kelly? She was voted off WAY too early.
I think Carrie's better than Jordin, but I don't particularly like either of them. lmfao.
I found Blake's debut album MUCH better than Jordin's. Audio Day Dream is one of my fave albums of last year.

Kelly+David are my only fave winners though. Although I'd put Kelly first atm, I wanna give David time? If his music's anything like his Analog Heart album then it'll be phenominal.

Chris Daughtry should have won season 5, he's had great success since the show finished whilst Taylor's just kinda faded away.Elliott Yamin should have been the other finalist that year, he had an awesome voice.

I preferred Blake to Jordin last season but she was still a pretty decent winner.

I pretty much agreed with all the other choices for winners.

I always wanted a Chris/Katharine final.
I wouldn't have minded an Elliot/Katharine final either.

Looking back, I'm glad Chris hasn't won because Daughtry as a band are amazing! Their album's one of my fave by an AI contestant ever.

It probably helped Chris not making the final as he was allowed to get the band together, not that he wouldn't have done well on his own but it just worked out so well with the band.I can see them carrying on having great success.

I can also see both David's going on and having really good career's.I'm certain David Cook will make a great album of original songs and his sound is very mainstream at the moment.David Archuleta will most likely be hooked up with a lot of good pop song writers to produce the type of songs that will appeal to his fan base.Both of them are doing very well on US iTunes at the moment.Last time I looked the top 10 was made up of 6 songs from the pair of them.

[Dan_]

David Cook's debut single is available on UK iTunes if anyone is interested.

[GiRTh]

I agree. A Chris/Katherine final for AI5 would have been a final of the two most consistent performers that year. Elliot Yamin was good but too inconsistant and Taylor Hicks won due to his 'Soul Patrol' fan base. Dan is right in saying that Taylor has faded since winning. Its strange because as it said on Vote for the worst - Soul Patrol seemed to understood the concept of picking up the phone and voting for him to win why dont they understand the concept of buying his records to boost his career.
