Remove this ad We've heard the boring winner's singles year in and year out and there never fails to be complaints about how poorly-written or dull each one is. But, everybody has to have a favourite. Here's my rankings out of the ones I've heard. 1. All This Time (Michelle McManus, Pop Idol 2) 2. All I've Ever Wanted (Brian Melo, Canadian Idol 5) 3. A Moment Like This (Kelly Clarkson, American Idol 1 / Leona Lewis, X-Factor 4) - only because it was written well. 4. Evergreen (Will Young, Pop Idol 1) - see above. 5. Flying Without Wings (Ruben Studdard, American Idol 2) 6. Do I Make You Proud (Taylor Hicks, American Idol 5) 7. Inside Your Heaven (Carrie Underwood, American Idol 4) - but only because I like Bo's version. 1,034. I Believe (Mantasia Burrito, American Idol 3) 1,035. This Is My Now (Jordin Sparks, American Idol 6) - as bad as it gets. Last Edited By: love like a bomb 03/23/08 07:44 PM. Edited 1 time.

Most of the other CI winner's singles pretty much suck but "Alive" was really, really good. I really like the Australian Idol winner's singles too. "Angels Brought Me Here" is beautiful. "Maybe Tonight" is good imo. "Night of My Life" is decent. "Here I Am" is kind of crappy, it's made tolerable only by Natalie's singing. "Evergreen" is really good. "Do I Make You Proud" and "Inside Your Heaven" are shit imo. I really like "When You Think of Me" too from Idols Netherlands when Boris Titulaer did it:

Which is why "Alive" is clearly the best winner's single, because it actually sounds like a somewhat contemporary mid-tempo song that would get some semblance of airplay. "A Moment Like This" is a classic only because A. it was the first one in America and B. Kelly's version is really good.

It got tons of airplay too which isn't surprising since it's very radio-friendly. The AI singles have gotten progressively worse each year.

That's what I thought when I first heard it, "hey this actually sounds like a real song I could hear on the radio, nice." "Meant to Fly" isn't too bad either. The AI singles have gotten progressively worse each year. They started to go really downhill with "Inside Your Heaven." I still can't get over the lyrics, "I want to be inside your heaven." WTF?

There's a hidden sexual message in that song somewhere. Fantasia's "I Believe" is the best AI single, at any rate. It's the only song she performed on AI that didn't sound like Donald Duck getting raped in the ass by fucking Baloo or something.

And now with this stupid songwriter contest they can blame the public for the song sucking. If you give the public 20 crappy songs to chose from they will likely pick a crappy song. Alive is the best. Do I Make You Proud, My Destiny (Kat McPhee) and This Is My Now are horrible. They have no business being on the radio.

I bet Nikki's was god-awful. you heard the recorded version? Cuz on the finale he sucked balls IMO. If you have the recorded version I'd love to hear it. I think they've all be utter shit and it's only Kelly's superior voice that lifted A Moment Like this out of the depths of hell to make that song memorable. I still hear that song on the radio almost 6 years later.
