Okay I am back with my answers, here goes:
Top 3 Favorites:
Taylor (of course since he is my all-time favorite)
Adam Lambert (unique and what a voice range)
Bo Bice (first rocker on the show and I adore him)
Clay Aiken and Elliott Yamin are the runner-ups because both are incredibly talented.
LEAST FAVORITE OF THE FOLLOWING:
AI Performance:
Taylor - Take Me Home Country Roads
Adam - No Boundaries (this song is awful)
Bo - Remedy (not one of my favorite songs)
Least Favorite Song:
Taylor - The Runaround
Adam - Sleepwalker (off new cd)
Bo - Remember Me (off first album)
As far as being the least favorite of cds or music videos, all 3 of my guys are overall tops with me.
FAVORITE CONTESTANTS WHO ARE NOT MY TOP 3 FAVORITES IN THE FOLLOWING:
Auditions - Danny Gokey/Asia'h Epperson
Vocals during an AI performance - Carrie Underwood - Alone/Lakisha Jones - And I'm Telling You
Overall vocals - This could be a really long list but here are a few: Melinda Doolittle and Chris Sligh
Stage Presence during an AI performance - Constantine Maroulis doing Bohemian Rhapsody
Overall stage preformance - Blake Lewis - You Give Love A Bad Name
Song - Clay Aiken - Unchained Melody (he is the one who got me interested in the show after this performance)
CD - This is a 3 way tie between David Cook, Michael Johns and Ace Young
Music Video - Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone (got a kick how she tore up her ex-boyfriend's apartment during the song)
Holiday cd - Elliott Yamin all the way, both of his holiday cds are great
Return Guest Appearance - I have liked so many so no real favorite here
Most Original - I think so many of our idols are original so no answer here
This section was difficult because of not being able to name the same person twice.
POSITIVE COMMENT ABOUT MY LEAST FAVORITE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Judge - Simon Cowell is on point sometimes
Season 3 had many good performers who did not make the top 10
Group Performance - I have pretty much liked all of them
Ford Commercial - They are okay I guess
Contestant Homecoming - Kris Allen has alot of fans from his area
Contestant from 4th down - Chris Daughtry can sing
Performance given by a contestant other than who I have already named - Matt Rogers of Season 3, loved his singing "Amazed".
NAME TWO OF THE FOLLOWING:
Funniest moments: Elliott Yamin running to Ryan Seacrest without hearing the judges comments first. Second would be some of the crazy comments made by Kellie Pickler.
What would I change about AI - The voting system, second would be that I think the top 12 should be allowed to go on tour instead of just the top 10
What do I hope to never see again on AI - Fantasia and the constant re-hash of the performances of the night before
FROM ALL THE CONTESTANTS, WHICH WAS:
Unfairly bashed by judges - overall it was Scott Savol of season 4 by all 3 judges
Unfairly on this board - well we all have our own opinions so no clear cut answer on this one
Person I was not a fan of during the show but now like - Brooke White
Deserves alot more radio play and cd sales - Definitely our Taylor. Others include Ace Young, Michael Johns, Lakisha Jones, Melinda Doolittle and others who I can not think of right now.
Has amazing talent that is un-appreciated - Who else but Taylor. He is such an amazing singer, entertainer and nice guy.
WHO I WOULD WANT TO SEE PERFORM WITH MY TOP 3 FAVORITES ON TOUR:
Taylor - I would love to see Elliott Yamin go on tour with him. What a great concert that would be.
Adam - Queen definitely.
Bo - I think it would be awesome to see Bo and David Cook on tour together.
This was definitely a rough survey Mae but thanks anyway as it jogged so many of my memories of the show.

Wow Mae, this is a huge order for this survey and frankly I am going to have to think about this for awhile. I did print out the whole survey so I can properly answer.
