I'm pretty happy with yesterday's list as a result of Q3's game.
Today's Challenge: Adam Lambert’s Most Significant American Idol Performances Ranked In Order Of Impact
Lifeisnow2 posted the last list of today's game (I think). This is the list.
10. Aftermath (acoustic) - Adam Lambert
9. WWFM - Adam returns to Idol as a successful recording artist, blows everyone away.
8. Tracks of My Tears - Adam gets Smokey's seal of approval. WOW!
7. Ring of Fire - Talk about polarizing!!
6. A Change is Gonna Come
5. Black or White. Adam was outed with kissing pics on the internet. He thought he might just have lost his big chance. He was apprehensive about what the audience reaction would be. Instead of folding, he addresses the issue with song choice, nails the performance, gets rave reviews from the judges, and is overwhelmed with relief/joy and fights back the tears during the comment section.
4. Mad World - Tears for Fears. Mad World was the performance that got Adam mass appeal. Still arguably the shows most famous performance, and critics argued its case for changing the entire idea of Idol.
3. Whole Lotta Love - First time Led Zepplin ever approved to have one of their songs used and first time "gimme your love way down inside" was ever sung on the idol stage accompanied by humping of microphone (even though the cameramen showed Adam from waist up = shades of Elvis) oh and all done while dressed like a cross between Johnny Depp's pirate and every second guy in the Castro!
2. We Are The Champions - Queen - Adam's first meeting and performance with Brian and Roger.
1. Bohemian Rhaposody - Queen - When Adam was discovered by millions of Americans, the performance that Brian May first saw. And had fans going "You had me at Ma-Ma!".

So my one change is replacing it with Satisfaction. Even though it is my least favorite of his AI performances, I think it is important as his first full, live song. And a lot of people went "what was that?!?" I'm included in that group. I had the tv on and was half listening while making dinner. His singing made me pop back to the tv to see what was going on.
Here's my list:10. Satisfaction - because a lot of people said "what the hell was that!?!" (Not the same intent as Simons's comment for ROF)
