OK, here is the list of my favorites, as odd as it can be.

Season 1: Kelly Clarkson & Jim Verraros
Season 2: Clay Aiken
Season 3: John Stevens
Season 4: Bo Bice & Anthony Fedorov
Season 5: Chris Daughtry, Ace Young & Bucky Covington
Season 6: Blake Lewis & Melinda Doolittle

I have supported my favorites when I could, purchasing their CDs [when they've had them]. Actually, the John Stevens CD was pretty darned good. Ace has a CD coming out soon, and Anthony is working on his.

I am also quite fond of Australian Idol 2 runner-up Anthony Callea. He has a beautiful voice and has put out 2 very good CDs.

Below, is a listing of my most favorite AI performers so far. The singers that I actually looked forward to performing each week until their eliminations.

Season 1: Tamyra Gray, Justin Guarini

Season 2: Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken

Season 3: Fantasia Barrino, Latoya London

Season 4: Bo Bice, Nadia Turner, Anwar Robinson, Constantine Maroulis

Season 5: Chris Daughtry, Mandisa Hundley, Elliott Yamin, Ace young

Season 6: Sanjaya Malakar, Melinda Doolittle

[MargoK]

Season 1: Kelly Clarkson, RJ Helton, Nikki McKibbin
Season 2: Ruben Studdard, Trenyce, Clay Aiken
Season 3: Diana Degarmo
Season 4: Anthony Fedorov, Jessica Sierra, Nadia Turner, Constantine Maroulis, Carrie Underwood
Season 5: Kathine McPhee (sort of)
Season 6: Melinda Doolittle, Phil Stacey, Sanjaya Malakar, Lakisha Jones, Chris Sligh

I didn't really fall for Clay Aiken until the finale and when I heard his demo tracks -- now he's one of my very favorites.

I did not like Season 5 at all. I do own many of the CDs from that season and I've changed my mind about a few of the contestants. I love Elliot's CDs, even though he was one of my least favorite contestants ever on Idol. I was amazed that I love Taylor Hick's CD when I didn't like him on the show, either. I like Katherine's CD, although some of the tracks are weak.

I still can't stand Chris Daughtry -- that hasn't changed a bit. I have no idea why the music world has fallen in love with this guy.
