3. "Tracks of My T.ears" - Adam Lambert: First time he broke out the sensitive side. I'm probably alone in thinking it was better than Mad World, but I loved it.

Kris's is NOT the same as that.
Even the judges (the ones who are trying to get him booted mind you) admit that Kris's was better. I guess its a matter of taste tho. |

i thought kris' live version of heartless was good, then i listened to the studio version. i didn't like it. but i still prefer the fray's n
kanye's version. you're right it's a matter of taste.

I'm choosing Tracks of my t.ears over Mad World too.
I would've chosen Falling Slowly had it not been for the fact that the live performance seemed to be only .32 seconds long. |

1. Adam's Mad World - Stunning performance
2. Kris' Heartless/Aint No Sunshie/To Make You Feel My Love - All of these were amazing I can't choose. Honorable mention to Allison - I Can't Make You Love Me. She won me over after it. |

Allison's "Cry Baby" exit performance, "I Can't Make You Love Me", "Papa Was A Rolling Stone"
Kris' "Heartless", "To Make You Feel My Love" Anoop's "Always On My Mind" A few that I can instantly name. Actually didn't see Adam's Mad World/disco performance, but lately i've really liked his performances. |

though Falling Slowly is my favorite performance of the season and probably ever on the Idols, I will have to say the single best performance has to be Kris
Allen's Heartless. He absolutely needed that performance to advance to the finale. Adam was going to advance regardless of whether he did Mad World. Kris
is clutch when he absolutely needed a great performance and he absolutely delivered with Heartless. Simon agreed it was the best song of the season.

I see the Idoltards are still mucking up youtube. Seems like every time an Idol sees a song random "[insert idol name] did it better!!"
comments litter the page. A nice specific answer is to look up the Dreamed a Dream song and look for all the Susan Boyle comments.

The best performance was Tatiana del Toro's excellent version of Lady Gaga's Fashion on the finale night right
before she was crowned American Idol... oh, wait.
