Who is the most talented “american idol” winner?

Out of all of the winners of “American Idol”, who is the most talented?
(Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood or Taylor Hicks)

My opinion....Carrie Underwood, without a doubt !

Fantasia WITHOUT A DOUBT. She may not be the most popular, but she is the most amazing singer in our time, not just out of the AI winners. Unfortunately, the American public is filled with internalized racism and we are trained to only embrace Black singers with light-skinned, thin women with straight, blonde hair. Fantasia does not fit that mold, hence the reason she has not done well in the mainstream industry. She looks like a real Black woman and sounds like a real Black soul singer. Unfortunately, we are trained not to appreciate that and its a shame because she is incredible. Just check this link out if you are in doubt: http://www.rickey.org/?p=2510 Its her singing on Oprah. Wake up America, Fantasia is amazing.

Carrie Underwood

I don;t like Taylor HIcks at alll... Kelly ALLL THE WAYY!!!

Carrie Underwood

You see my problem is that the only ones I like never win! For example I thought that Bo Bice was WAY better than Carrie Underwood but some crazy americans liked her and voted her to win. I also liked Chris Daughtry AND he didn't even make it to the top ten! In answer to the question though I would have to go with Kelly Clarkson (after that it's Fantasia Barrino!).
