Top 10 Best X-Factor US Contestants

The X-Factor is a hotbed for discovering some of the greatest talents in the music industry. Over the years, it's given us a stunning array of performers, each unique in their own way. From vocal powerhouses that can hit the high notes like nobody's business, to dynamic duos that harmonize in ways that make our hearts melt, the X-Factor US has really seen it all.

There's the thrill of the competition. The anticipation building week by week as you tuned in, never knowing who would rise to the occasion and who would falter under the pressure. It's not just about the voice, it's about the X-Factor - that special something that sets an artist apart.

As for who are the best X-Factor US contestants... well, that's a tough question. With so many incredible talents to choose from, where do you even start? Perhaps you loved the gritty rock vocals of one contestant, or maybe you were blown away by the sweet, soulful tones of another. There's no shortage of amazing artists to choose from, each with their own unique sound and style that left you spellbound and clamoring for more.
The Top Ten
Fifth Harmony Fifth Harmony was an American girl group based in Miami, composed of Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and previously, Camila Cabello until her departure from the group on December 18, 2016. The group signed a joint record deal with Simon Cowell's label Syco Records and L.A.

They have come so far, even though they didn't win the contest. They are born superstars. The fact that they have more than seven tours and ten awards already, even though they only have an EP, is impressive. Imagine what they'll achieve when they release their debut album this year (2014). These girls are unstoppable! They are so genuine. They even call their fans their friends. I hope they never change.

They're awesome. From underdogs to the publicity, fanbase, and amazing opportunities they've earned, these well-rounded, full-of-life girls have shown nothing but drive and true talent! They're so down-to-earth and genuine. I truly love each and every one of them.

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.

By far the strongest vocalist to ever appear on The X Factor, hands down. Tate can't touch her with a 10-foot pole. If the judging and voting had been fair and not extremely country-biased, Carly would have needed her own competition for anyone else to stand a chance.

How is she in eighth place? I'm sorry, but have you seen the X Factor USA charts? She's still number one, so I don't know what you guys are talking about. Especially Rachel, in my opinion, is not that good.

I don't know what you people are thinking. This girl is top 5! Really? You must be deaf if you can't hear the purity. You go, Carly Rose!

Alex & Sierra

They are unique and truly artists! Nothing contrived or fake about them. Plus, their voices are great together, and they sound amazing!

They're not like others who just copy the same song of a singer on stage like a parrot. They're unique, always bringing something new to the stage and making the song their own. I can't wait until they release their album.

Khaya Cohen
Rion Paige
Ellona Santiago
Melanie Amaro

I still keep listening to her version of Feeling Good because it's so amazing. Remember the high note? It proves how incredible her singing skills are.

She was so lucky that Simon saved her. Her vocals are amazing and beautiful.

Sweet Suspense
Beatrice Miller

Her voice has gotten so much better in the two years since she was on The X Factor, and she is such a likable person. She easily has the most potential of all these contestants to make a hit album.

She can and has inspired so many girls. It's a shame the public pushed her away. She still posts videos on YouTube, though, and I believe she is moving to California. I can't wait to hear more from this girly!

Rachel Crow Rachel Kelly Crow is an American singer, comedian, and actress. Born in Mead, Colorado, she participated in the first season of the American version of The X Factor in 2011, where she finished in fifth place.

She seems to be consistently working in the business. She is multi-talented with an outstanding personality - her secret weapon. Others may sing better, but she is not one-dimensional.

She's such a sweetie. Her voice is so great even though she's so little.

You are way better than the other 16 live show finalists, especially Josh Krajcik and Melanie Amaro.

Chris Rene

He's the most inspirational person who has ever set foot on The X Factor stage. He's also one of the most talented. With his charisma, talent, and background, he is the best X Factor contestant.

Such a fabulous person. I'm still wondering how he only got third! It was evident that he was well-loved on The X Factor. Though he may not have seemed perfect, his heart was totally in the right place. I don't think we've heard the last of him!

I cannot explain how inspired I am by his songs. His songwriting is part of the reason why he should have won. He undoubtedly deserved first place on The X Factor, and he sure deserves to be number one on this list.

Drew Ryniewicz

Incredible voice, incredible girl. Her "Baby" in the auditions was absolutely amazing.

Josh Krajcik

A beautiful voice that comes from deep inside. A true masterpiece.

Danie Geimer
Diamond White
Stacy Francis
Stereo Hogzz

True superstars. How come they aren't already making records?

LeRoy Bell

Paula Abdul said, "Who said that 59-year-olds can't fulfill their dreams?" LeRoy's now making his dream come true. =)

Josh Levi
Lakoda Rayne
InTENsity

Just like Simon said, they're like the junior Glee. It's so nice to see such a big group do the same dance movements and sing together.

Astro
Lillie McCloud

She moved me. She deserved much more respect.

Jeff Gutt

I can't understand why Jeff is only number 17 on this list! He is definitely the best! No one else has such an incredible voice as Jeff. He made each song his own, and he should've won the whole show! I liked Alex & Sierra as well, and I think they deserved to be in the top two, but I love Jeff Gutt, and he should've won. He's the best rock singer out there today!

He is in a different league compared to all the rest. He is simply amazing.

He just got hired as the frontman of Stone Temple Pilots, one of the most popular grunge bands ever. Top 5.
