:) Without a doubt, season 5 was the best as the talent was so varied and had something for everyone. Taylor is and always has been my top favorite idol. I liked season 4 because they had so many I truly liked in that season. Season 8 was also a good one as I liked half of the group with Adam and Danny being my favorites. The worst season in my opinion was season 3 (the year Fantasia won). Lots of unfair judging I thought and of course too much praise for Fantasia which was overdone by Simon the most.
However I must add that there are so many idols that have come out of this program that are truly talented and deserving of success. Sadly many have had to really work for their success without the help of the powers that be who are affiliated with contracts, etc. Others have gone nowhere with their careers and that saddens me alot. One can only hope that one day they truly achieve their dreams.
Side Note: By the way, I listened to Allison Iraheta's new release and frankly speaking I did not care for it at all so passing on buying it. I have heard Danny's new release and although it is country it is a pretty good song so looking forward to seeing what else he has on his cd when it comes out next year.
