Every American Idol Finalist, Ranked From Worst to Best
By Maura Johnston
1. Kelly Clarkson (Season 1, Winner)
2. Fantasia Barrino (Season 3, Winner)
3. Carrie Underwood (Season 4, Winner)
4. Adam Lambert (Season 8, Runner-up)
5. Jennifer Hudson (Season 3, placed 7th)
15. Kris Allen (Season 8, Winner)
Ranked last:
168. Danny Gokey (Season 8, Placed 3rd)
168. Danny Gokey (Season 8, Placed 3rd)
Season eight was perhaps Idol's pinnacle; it also had a contestant who might have been the closest villain analogue Idol has ever had to offer: Danny Gokey, an early-odds favorite whose wife had passed away shortly before he auditioned with "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." He stuck around for a long time, vanquishing contestants with okay-enough performances that would sometimes tip over into horror (recall the Gokey Scream) and sometimes be just really boring (the anodyne "What Hurts the Most") and too often be capped with that heart-hands gesture and never, ever result in his being in the show's bottom three. His snide comments about "loving" his fellow contestants in a strictly “Godly way,” which came before season-eight runner-up Adam Lambert came out on the cover of Rolling Stone, played both to his fanbase and to those who were looking for reasons to vote him off. Which they did, setting the stage for a finale with two singers (Lambert and Kris Allen) who had honed their talent on-air — and become nail-polish-matching friends in the process.
