This was by far the best season of American Idol. I think for the most part the eliminations were on point. The only three that were off was Pia, Jacob, and Haley. Jacob should've been 9th, Pia should've been at least in the Top 4 and Haley winning the season. Other than that Season 10 was near perfection :)

[@LisaI25]

I love scotty, but the title should have been Haley's without a question

[@jayhi5479]

[@jedibob4346]

[@joeyvallejo9874]

i loved casey abrams

[@gigimills4700]

Easily one of the if not the best seasons of Idol on Fox or ABC

[@aprilhall4171]

The last good season of American Idol ngl

[@ahStarwok]

Simon needs to come back to Idol.

[@jnet546]

Thia baby

[@tmrwic]

I thought Thia should have gone further.

[@Xolocoatl]

Ashthon- I really like this performance. She may not have a voice like J Hud but the arrangement was good and loved her confidence though others though she was arrogant. A bad song choice killer her. Karen-Liked her at first but again bad song choices. She deserved 12th place and she dissapointed me Naima- Remember she tied for 10th with Thia. Also u cut out b4 the best part!!!! anyway she was my fav, thought not always on pitch she was fun, imaginative, interisting, and great dancer!

[@Xolocoatl]

CAsey- my fav guy, though he sorta went downhill for me. Fav was I put a spell on you. His last couple were meh but still love him JAcob- Though he was ok, that specific perf i though was overrated, tamyra's version is superior. He got worse every week, oversang just bout everything and crash and burned at the end with No Air James- MY pick to win, he seemed to me though as he was trying to hard to be metal, hes too soft for that, that perf and maybe i amazed and living in the city were my favs

[@nomms8172]

i wish haley had won this season. i feel like no one remembers this dude, he no longer makes any music, so why did he win? :/

[@nomms8172]

she could've been a famous singer by now, bc she's so talented... what a waste

[@BigScottyMcCreeryFan]

He actually does make music still, and he’s doing super well on the country charts. Actually his current album is his most successful, and constant radio play. Just gotta listen to country radio. But where has Haley been? Js.

[@vidpie]

​@@BigScottyMcCreeryFan Haley? Signed to Interscope after Idol and released a debut album that the NYT called "convincing and fresh" (she has co-writing credits on 13 of 14 songs). Once her Idol-related mgmt contract expired she became the most-viewed vocalist with Postmodern Jukebox, which features a vocalist a week -- 61M+ YT views for "Creep" alone. She recorded "Can't Help Falling in Love" for Extra gum, which became a modern wedding staple and earned her a platinum record. Haley toured the U.S. and Europe to support her second album "Better" that was produced with the help of her music publisher (11 tracks, 10 originals). She signed with Concord to produce her third album, which unlike the others was mostly covers from the late 1960s -- recorded using vintage equipment and analog tape (12 tracks on the Target exclusive, 3 originals) She garnered unsolicited praise from The Zombies, The Turtles, and Jefferson Airplane for her renditions of their songs. Haley was featured on Jeff Goldblum's debut album last year, which was #1 on the jazz charts. She also recorded an EDM track with Vicetone for which she wrote the top-line. It cracked the Top 30 this year. Haley is also the voice heard singing in the new Mazda3 ad that's the cornerstone introducing their next generation of vehicles (2,248 nat'l airings in 3 weeks). Haley also voices the youngest son on the Netflix animated series "F is for Family"(now entering its 4th season). Around the time you made your post, YT named Haley an "Artist on the Rise" and featured a video for an original song from her fourth album. This last album is a completely independent production (14 original songs - one a bonus on the CD version). She just finished a U.S. tour to support the album - "Lo-Fi Soul" - on Saturday. Below... a song off "Lo-Fi Soul." The album track is recorded to bluesy guitar. This video features an orchestra. It was filmed in Austria as part of a documentary about being analog in a digital world that will be released later this year. Haley recorded other songs for the soundtrack. Comment from the film's director: "This is as analogue as it gets, 100% live, in fact even unrehearsed. Sascha and Haley met for the first time just a couple of hours before this was recorded (in Südbahn's usually deserted White Ballroom). We shot it on 35mm as part of the documentary. The music was cut direct to disc, as well as recorded on analogue tape. The evening was hosted by (the new Polaroid) and Facebook' Analog Research Lab. On KZbin, you can see the entire, uncut version of the song. There will be more music from Haley in the film. I've never seen a performance quite like this. Hope you like it. It's real." kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJOoiGt4p7OWqqs

@MarvelousGentlemen i meant least deserving winner not "not least deserving winner"

[@matteovallejo19]

No way Scotty should have won

[@petefabio1530]

Scotty's wins makes American Idol winners really unique, so it's good

[@Quasimoto44]

There is a difference between shouting and singing, and I am a little shocked at the voting. Entertaining is a whole other issue. Whose voice would peak your interest coming over your stereo? For a pure voice, I thought the Thia girl had the best, and hit and held her notes better than anyone else. And no, I never saw the shows.

[@vidpie]

Thia was good, especially considering she was the youngest contestant in the history of Idol at that point (they lowered the age limit that year). The top two that year were also teenagers.Thia just recently became a professional actress -- she plays Haley Chen on the NBC soap. "Days of Our Lives."

[@Xolocoatl]

HAley- i hated her at first when she went in the finals over many other girls, outlasted Ashthon and Naima but i started to like her Top 11(second time) and loved her by top 7, she this seasons judges punching bag, keep talking back! my fav was that one, i who have nothing, rolling in deep, bennie and jets, led zeppelin and you and i Lauren- liked her but needs to mature . That was my fav with flat on floor. poor girl had no chance agaisnt scotty though she went down fighting Scotty-meh

[@RonP51]

The best American idol yet?????? Guess people just tuned into this show. By far Haley should have had this but as most American Idol seasons it turned into a popularity contest with the judges being told who to support

[@ahStarwok]

I'm not a hater, but i seriously don't get why Scotty won........ he has a unique voice but that's it. His singing is the same every single damn week.... nothing surprising/new at all.

[@Kaihatesitherre]

I've met stefano

[@Xolocoatl]

Thia- Very good first performance and everything after was crap, Smile decent vocals horrible arrangement, every thing was boring bout her, no performance skills, would been gone earlier if she wasn't Philippino and was on Americas got talent Pia- Same as Thia xcept had better voice and did much better job with ballads. MY fav performance was River Deep, it was fun, great vocals, and good stage presence. Go figure then she gets cut after that performance

[@Xolocoatl]

Paul- that was my perf of his. he was fun, but arguably the worst voice of any contestant ever, his only competition is Amanda overmier for that title. Look up Paul mcdonald misheard lyrics you will laugh Stephano- Ehh never liked him though that perf and If You dont know me by Now were good, everything was decent to bad. He really need to get better stage presence hes always closing his eyes and hunching over

[@churchboy1105]

This was the season that made me stop watching this show. Pia Tuscano was by far the most talented vocalist on this season but if you leave it up to America, they'll never get that part right. Once she was voted off I wanted Lauren to win cause she had natural talent. I was pissed when scotty won because he is nothing but a modern day elvis knockoff. Hes good at doing that but that was it. One trick pony in my book. And this was nowhere near one of the best seasons for whoever said that

[@Jonnnyfiction]

why basically all ballets. It puts me to sleep soo boring

[@nathanskeans3433]

this is bull crap Pia Toscano should of won it all

[@spacecowboy299]

On Idol, contestants are only as good as their last performance. Pia's first performance was outstanding and she got a standing ovation. However, her subsequent performances weren't close to her first performance. It also became apparent that she was only a one dimensional singer and a very stiff performer. Thus, she lost her initial support and got canned from the show. I personally thought that Paul McDonald and Stefano Langone should have gone before Pia. But there was no way she would have made into the final six, as those final six contestants were all way better vocalists and better performers than Pia was.

[@jayhi5479]

Nathan Skeans I agree Pia Toscano or Haley Reinhart

[@jpetteys3801]

I hated Ashton
