Its too American centric. All it has is AI stuff, that Bianca Ryan, the obvious UK pics and one Australian Idol performance. Its like the threw an obvious list together and didn't bother to do any research.

They can hardly call that the Top 10 reality tv singing performances of all time.

I mean as a huge Carrie fan I've watched way too many reality tv singing shows to even put her at #1. "Alone" is amazing but if this were an all encompassing list she wouldn't be #1, hell with only 10 spots I might not even put "Alone" on there.

I can think of tons of international performances that beat every AI performance on that list.

X on Susan Boyle too, wtf. If she wasn't an ugly old lady no one would rate her in the top performances of all time list.

Its clear they didn't do much research for this list, it was just off the top of their head. I mean they included "The Prayer" but "When The War is Over" is completely absent from the list and if I were to pick two stand out performances from all seasons of OzI those are definitely it.

Off the top of my head as a person who actually has knowledge of a lot of international singing shows (as opposed to like 2 like the author of this list) I can throw together a better list.

10. "Light My Fire" - Will Young on Pop Idol

9. "One" - Kurt Nilsen on Norwegian Idol which I think is better than "Beautiful Day" and the fact they that threw on his World Idol performance as opposed to something actually from Norwegian Idol proves the ignorance of the author.

8. "Running Up That Hill" - Natalie Gauci on Australian Idol 5

7. "For Once In My Life" - Jaclyn Victor on Asian Idol 2007 (originally winner of Malaysian Idol)

6. "With or Without You" - Diana Vickers on X-Factor 2008

5. "Billie Jean" - David Cook on American Idol 7
4. "Stuff Like That There" - Kelly Clarkson on American Idol
3. "Song for A Winter's Night" - Theresa Sokyrka on Canadian Idol 2 (the exclusion of Canadian Idol from the first list is laughable)

2. "The Prayer" - Anthony Callea on Australian Idol 2
1. "When The War is Over" - Cosima De Vito on Australian Idol's first season

Youtube any of these performances to really see a great performance as opposed to some of the questionable stuff on the original list.

Many honourable mentions too including Damien Leith of OzI whose entire hatrick of Touchdowns (an OzIdol term) of "Nessum Dorma," "Crying" and "Hallelujah" could easily be 11th, 12th and 13th on this list. There are way too many reality singing shows to make a definitve list of just 10 of the "all time best" and claim it truly encompasses the whole world. Even my list barely encompasses the whole world, it only has Canada, America, Australia, the UK, Norway and Asia. Idol alone is in too many countries to pick only 10 performances because every show has at least one show stopper. X-Factor is expanding too and that's only 2 of the reality singing competitions that have ever existed. A true reflection of the best all time performances would have to be at least 50-100 performances and that would include no filler.

This list is so annoying it makes me want to really take the time out to put together a proper list with actual thought that truly takes many countries into consideration (not just 3, or 6).

I mean watch this and try and tell me "Alone" or any of that other stuff on the list is better than this:

I couldn't resist leaving a comment on the entry after I read this part at the top.

The MullerOver editorial team has pored through hundreds of hours of video to get the final, definitive list of the best Reality TV singing performances, period.

Either they're lying or deaf. They must have only gone through all the seasons of AI and X-Factor. There's no way this so called hundreds of hours of video included other Idol shows, X-Factor shows or Got Talent shows outside of America and the UK. Anthony Callea being on there I'm convinced is a fluke b/c there's no way he actually watched hours of OzI vids and put that American Idol crap on the list over some of the gems from OzI.

The AI performances on the list aren't even the best from AI ever much less the best period.
