#Most lists focus on performances on the show, this list is all about what our Idols have done since. Check out the first 25 of 100 dynamic performances by your favorites and the most forgotten!
- Rank for Seven Seasons:
Surprising, amazing, shocking, possibly hilarious. These are all valid words to describe some of the best post-idol performances! Most, you probably haven’t seen. Catch up with your favorite idols and your forgotten idols! They will never cease to surprise you with instruments you didn’t know they played, and vocals you didn’t know they were capable of pulling out. I had a blast making this list, and I hope that you have a blast looking at these performances!
Because there are a freaking hundred performances on my list, I am dividing these articles into sections!
THE LIST 100-75:
100.
Camile Velasco (Season 3): “No One”: In her bedroom: Yes, I said her bedroom, but the acoustics are really, really good in there, okay? Yes, Camile and Leah LaBelle, if you remember them, have resorted to taping themselves in their bedrooms. The good part of this is, both of them, with their unique tones, have grown tremendously as vocalists and these are actually pretty great to watch.
Check it out: No One
99.
Leah LaBelle(Season 3): “Final Bow”: In her bedroom: Ya heard me, their bedrooms. Well, Leah might actually be in some sort of office, but man, Leah always had nice things going, as did Camile. But neither of them were stand out performers, and neither of them could really carry their voice onto the big stage. I bet they both could now….

98.
Jasmine Trias(Season 3): “Duet w/ South of the Border”: Tour: She has some nice runs in her, and it works for her tone, and she’s also performing really well. Worth a watch.

97.
Charles Grigsby (Season 2): “Amazing Grace”: Tabernacle Church: Fast forward past his long talk he gives to the audience, and get to his singing. It’s pretty good!

Kim Caldwell(Season 2): “Keep Me Making Love To You”:Concert: Never my favorite vocalist, Kim does have a dynamic tone that really works for her on songs like this.
