Idol 100

It's been a decade of Idol, and as a crazy obsessive fan, I thought it was time to look back at the show that became an institution - for better or worse - by counting down my Top 100 'Idol' contestants of all time. Ha! Yes, I'm taking things a step further with this countdown!

Well, let's see how long it takes for me to abandon this one! Haha.

Ok, So here are some general notes before I begin the countdown starting Monday next week:

- All contestants that made the semifinals from all nine (9) seasons are eligible for this countdown.

- Like many other lists or countdowns, this one is extremely biased. It is judged on how I personally like the finalists - not technical singing or personality or all that jazz. There will probably be some people who'd rank like 70 on your list that may be as high as 20 or something on here, actually I guarantee it. But please respond maturely, flames don't make me particularly happy.

- I will be posting one 'Idol' a day. Hopefully, this won't lead to me getting lazy and not post the final contestants in months time. Haha. Oh, and I will also try my hardest to go more in-depth on my comments. Hopefully.

- Please give feedback! If you read this, I would be overjoyed to read your comments.

- Enjoy the countdown!

            1. Ay. Adik lang talaga. Hahaha. Pero enjoy to, makiki-adik din ako. Hahaha.

              For the top 100... ang naiisip ko lang na natural red head is Jon Stevens. The rest are all dyed na i think... Allison Iraheta, Amy Adams, Lacey Brown... alam ko meron pa e.

            2. Robbie, didn't you get the note? I'm a crazy obsessive fan. LOL. I can't help it. 100 days of Idol is pure fun, at least to me. Hahaha.

              I think Vanessa Olivarez (Season 2) is the other red haired contestant. :D

            7. Gosh, this is a whole lot of work but at the same time it's thrilling. I don't know who's the red head on the 100th spot but I'm looking forward for number 1. Haha.

              Anyway, I hope this countdown will turn out really fine. I think I have some thoughts of who's gonna be on the top of your list.

            13. You have pretty good taste I would say. A couple of turkeys on there, but your #1 makes it all OK.

              ReplyDelete
            14. Hahaha very nice. I would say we almost have the same list except that I would probably put Danny Gokey on higher rank. Nevertheless, Congrats Dam! this one is awesome! You really are a Idol fan! :)

              I miss Idol! I wonder what will be the response on the inclusion of J.Lo and Steve Tyler as the newest judges.
