Which female artist do you consider to have the most iconic time in one of the biggest US singing reality competitions (American Idol, The Voice, and The X Factor)?

 

So, here we are not talking about who the biggest name is, but simply who you think left the biggest mark as a judge among the general public. Any favorite moments from their seasons?

[Mordecai]

It'd have to be Paula. She's one of the originals and if you're below a certain age you know her from AI and not her music career

[Breakdown]

 

King and Queen of US talent shows 

[halcyonday]

Katy, of course!

Paula Abdul, no question. She was the OG.

[Shinkirou]

Britney, Mariah, Katy. In that order.

Britney

Mariah & Nicki fighting

Demi and Britney really made a great pair. Britney's faces, Demi's "that's why you use autotune and I don't" moment, Britney singing Happy Birthday, Demi fighting Simon, Demi choosing Camila as the standout of the group after the host pressured her.

not katy perry of course!

Paula is most iconic obvi

but she was in the show's prime and its most iconic contestants, so it's normal

 

 

Britney gave us a lot of meme material, so deffo 2nd

 

 

Mariah and Nicki drama was fun to watch

but it's a pair

Now why did Jessie J competing as a CONTESTANT on that Chinese program come to mind first?

 

And then Natalia Kills Her Career, who's not even an option in the poll?

 

It has to be Paula of course. She, Randy and Simon were an iconic trio, at the very least for being part of one of the first shows of its kind at the time. I guess followed by Xtina?

[UmbilicalKordei]

X Factor USA Season 2 was the last great season of any talent competition show. 

[LatinFreak]

Mariah constantly humilliating Nicki on AI was everything. 

[Onyxmage]

It was definitely Paula Abdul. She was instantly turned into a household name when American Idol was massive in the US.

Paula Abdul, the blueprint.
