Season 3 is well represented on this list. I started surfing around youtube watching snipits from that season and I even liked the group numbers from that season.

I like this list. Good times.

Wow I sure missed a lot of craptastic stuff only starting to watch in AI6. Thanks for the most worthy of priors. Ah laughing- good for the soul. Taking this shit seriously, old, wrinkly and morbidly obese before your time- or so it seems.

All are awesome picks!!!
Scott Baio- I agree with you about Kellie Pickler's "Bohemian Rhapsody". That was awesomely hideousXD

ironically, I enjoyed Josh Gracin alot in Season 2...haha. But yea...his Jive Talkin was a wtf (vftw victory!) moment when he had a whole season of considerably stellar vocal performances.

1 - Top 20 VFTW Guest Performances - Mantasia wins by a mile. with the bonus of Simons face :)

2 - Top 20 VFTW Elimination Sing outs - Jason's Fuck Yeah I'm Out'a Here "I Shot the Sheriff" has got to be #1

Camile Velasco Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is worthy of inclusion in this list.

Followed by Brooke White's "Hold me, Ryan. I can't do this" tearjerker.

Not even close guys ;-)

The top 3 are

Leslie Hunt's singout: Why did I decide to scat, America don't care for jazz.
Sarah Mather's singout: So pissed off, she just stands there and barely dances and wants to kill someone.
Sanjaya: Let's give em something to talk about, other than hair.

But Brooke and Jason would make the top 10.
