9. Lindsey Cardinale, ''Standing Right Next to Me'' (season 4)
Listening to Lindsey's note-perfect audition and the way it left guest judge Gene Simmons flubbing his words it's hard to believe she'd wind up finishing twelfth, behind the likes of Scott Savol and Mikalah Gordon, no less. And while it's easy to play Thursday-morning critic, if Lindsey's rich, crystal-clear tone had translated to Idol's big stage, she might've crashed the inevitable, season-long Carrie Underwood-Bo Bice party.
