2. Frenchie Davis, ''And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going'' (season 2)
Oh, what might have been had Frenchie not been DQ'd from the competition over those racy modeling photos that popped up on the Internet. Indeed, as the curvaceous songbird coyly told Ryan Seacrest before her audition: ''I can sing...and I'm cute!'' And what an understatement! Her Earth-shattering version of Dreamgirls' signature number was enough to score a round of applause even from crusty Simon. Which raises the question: How long must we wait till she scores a major-label deal?
