Top 10 People with the Best TV Singing Competition Auditions

This is the top 10 auditions from shows such as American Idol, The Voice, X-Factor and whichever turns up. Auditions that absolutely gave me goose bumps even though some of them never made it that far in the competitions.
The Top Ten
Jackie Evancho Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts.

Turned down twice by the AGT producers, it took YouTube fans to vote her on. She finished #2 before rocketing off the stage to begin an amazing international concert and recording career that's only just begun. And keep an eye out for her third PBS special.

America's Got Talent. Jackie floored everyone and received endless standing ovations as the little girl with the big voice began her voyage to conquer the world.

If you listened to her voice without seeing an image of her, you would expect her to be an experienced, professional classical star. And she's only 14.

Katharine McPhee Katharine Hope McPhee is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. In May 2006, she was the runner-up on the fifth season of American Idol. Her self-titled debut album was released on RCA Records on January 30, 2007, and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 381,000 copies.

She sang God Bless the Child in front of the judges of American Idol, and it was one of the best auditions I've seen or heard. Amazing voice and beauty.

Her audition was perfect. Her voice is amazing, and she controlled her breath very well. She sang like a pro!

Bianca Ryan

America's Got Talent. She came in and absolutely tore the place down while singing Jennifer Holliday's And I Am Telling You. She also did this when she was 11 years old, which is just incredible.

Susan Boyle Susan Magdalane Boyle is a Scottish singer who came to international attention when she appeared as a contestant on the TV programme Britain's Got Talent on 11 April 2009, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables.

I still cry and get goosebumps whenever I view Susan's audition on YouTube. As I write this post, I am getting misty-eyed all over again. As the old cliche says, "She went out onto the stage a nobody and came back a star."

Britain's Got Talent. Surprised everyone, including me, while singing I Dreamed a Dream.

How she totally took everyone by storm.

Leona Lewis Leona Louise Lewis is a British singer, songwriter and animal welfare campaigner. She was born and raised in the London Borough of Islington, London, England where she attended the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology.

X-Factor Britain. Sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow and certain notes still give me chills while listening to it today.

Javier Colon

The Voice. All contestants on this show are usually good singers since they're invited, but his rendition of Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper was absolutely amazing. Once he started singing, I knew this guy was going to win.

Clay Aiken

American Idol. Talk about shocking. This guy came out with the glasses and a dorky look but absolutely blew me away with his voice while singing Always and Forever.

Jeffrey Gutt

X-Factor. He did a great rock rendition of a great song, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. His voice is awesome. It's a shame he didn't make it that far.

Heejun Han

American Idol. I didn't expect such a soulful voice from this guy. I actually thought he was going to really suck. He sang How Am I Supposed to Live Without You by Michael Bolton and was fantastic.

Carly Rose Sonenclar Carly Rose Sonenclar is an American singer and teen actress. In December 2012, she became the runner-up on the second season of the American version of The X Factor.

X-Factor. She did an awesome rendition of a Nina Simone song, I Feel Good. For a 13-year-old to sing such an old song like that surprised me. It surprised me even more with her stage presence.

Respectfully... there's no contest here. Carly's audition was clearly in a class all by itself!

Carly Rose Sonenclar is simply amazing! She is definitely a star.

It goes without saying. Grace has more views than all of these people combined. The fact that people are watching her every day while the rest of these people are a memory says it all.

This is a joke. Grace is the most popular in this category by far. She had more internet hits in her audition for AGT than the rest of these people combined. That's what popularity is all about!

Olly Murs Oliver Stanley Murs, known professionally as Olly Murs, is an English singer-songwriter, television presenter and actor. He first came to national attention for coming second in the sixth series of The X Factor in 2009.

Michelle Chamuel
Angie Miller

She wrote her own song, "You Set Me Free," and had the judges amazed! The next time she performed, the judges didn't even talk about her performance.
