You probably don't sing correctly. Broadway singers don't sing correctly, because if it was correct, they would sound like opera/classical singers. I can think of only a few people on broadway now that sound like that. Broadway singers are taught to sing so that their voice can last, but not so that it can last forever, like classical singers. ps THEATER SINGER, no one in the recording industry sings correctly.

This list is accurate though as to who has gotten the most publicity and fame. KELLY WAS NOT A ONE HIT WONDER! maybe a one CD wonder, but literally 10 of the 12 songs on that CD were #1's.(billboard). Carries had 2 #1s and that is Before he cheats and Jesus Take the Wheel. So with kelly's 10 #1's from her second CD and 2 #1's from her first CD, I would say 12 is bigger than 2 and thus kelly deserves to be number one. Not to mention she was the first idol, and not to mention kelly's a pop artist, which makes way more money than a country artist. i think constantine should have been on the list. i remember when he sang bohemian rhapsody and simon said it was the best idol performance ever.

He's also got the best voice Idol's ever heard or will hear. The best of the rest can't touch him for either.

How you can place William Hung and Sanjaya Malakar in the Top 10 makes no sense to me at all. As Simon Cowell said, Elliott was the best male vocalist Idol has ever had---you would think that and the fact he broke a Soundscan record for # of copies of independent CD sold in first week that would put him in the Top 10.

I also liked Kelly Clarkson and Katharine McPhee. I have watched all season's of American Idol. I thought Constantine Maroulis of season 4 was amazing..I loved that

Kelly Clarkson is in fact one of the worst singers. She oversings, has absolutely NO breath control and is too stupid to figure out how to perform without breathing into the microphone. Ruben and Clay had a huge impact on the show. Without them, there would have been no Season 2. Clay is actually the best voice, best peformer. The reason he hasn't progressed further in the industries opinion is he won't go the popstar route. Ruben is like a Vandross wannabe. We already had one. This really is a ridiculous list.

William Hung and Sanjaya have the right to be on that list, and the author said in the first post that it was mostly about what he likes, impact in general, and record sales of course. I think the list is correct, because when you look back, which are the contestants that come to your mind inmediatly? The best and the worse. Great list, I agree 100% with what you say about kelly. this wasn't a list of the top 20 artists that came out of american idol, it was a list of the top 20 CONTESTANTS.

I can see where you're coming from. You are meaning I think the impact the artist has had, and certainly Sanjaya and William Hung had huge impacts during their seasons on Idol. Clay & Ruben from season 2 were amazing at the time and have gone on to become successful, but with everything else we move on and and others become just as noteworthy.
