I love going on YouTube and surfing through AI and X Factor clips, and was wondering if people had favourite auditions or performances from either show?

 

Some of mine are...

I used to love Idol! From the beginning of season 3 until the end of season 6...I used to be a major fan of someone on the show, but let's not talk about that. My favourite moments were all Jordin and Carrie's amazing performances and their winning moments. I also love all the clips I've seen from when Kelly was on.

 

Favourite auditions...just because it makes me lmao...

I hate it when they try to sing a Celine song as they never can do the song justice and it makes me cringe :sick:

Apart from Jordin Spark's audition - she sang BYLM and thats as close as I've come to hearing someone do justice to one of Celine's songs.

David Archuleta's first-ever "Imagine" performance on American Idol is the best performance of any artist on that show, EVER!

 

:wink2:

i don't watch X Factor, but i'm a huge fan of American Idol. :)

 

-David Archuleta's performance of the song "Imagine" is legendary.

-Michael John's rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is EPIC!

-Carrie Underwood's performance of Heart's Alone is AMAZING!!!

American Idol has so much more flavor than X Factor.

 

I think it's silly that Leon Jackson could beat out every British hopefuls of this year. I've listened to his works, and I've come to the conclusion: He's so bland...

I think that the X-Factor is becoming insignificant because it's going to be impossible to ever better the amazing find of Leona!

Na it's possible. I find Laura and Diana WAY better than Leona. Her vibrato is way too slow, and those high dolphiriah notes.. well, we've hear them by now. Doesn't mean I don't like her though.

I beg to differ. I'm sure with the Britain population of 60,776,238 people, there are at least a few hundred people there who sings and sounds better than Lionness Lewis... :P

 

She's much better now, but at the time she was on X Factor, she didn't really have that much talent, as I saw it. She was able sing some great notes, stand stiff, and wait for injections of personality. And her horrid vibrato. Everytime I watched her sing on there, I thought I was going through voice lesson hell! :mdr: Also, she was fortunate because the judges favorited her. But overall, it was a hit not just for her, but for her record company because "Spirits" sold 2 million copies worldwide.

I agree. It was amazing. Diana's "Man In The Mirror" was great as well. Laura was meh for me this week, but she's one of my favorites. I think Cheryl will crown the winner this year.
