8. JOSH GRACIN, ''Jive Talkin''' (Season 2)
There've certainly been worse vocals in Idol history than Josh Gracin's clumsy attempt to countrify the Bee Gees' 1975 hit. Nope, what forever scalded this moment into our memories was a scary close-up of Josh thrusting his wild-eyed face full-frame into the camera. That was accompanied by some of the most awkward body gyrations on record, as the Marine painfully attempted to act out every line of the song through spastic hand gestures resembling sign language gone horribly awry. Predictably, Josh went home and, thankfully, never came near a disco floor again. — Dalton Ross
