American Idol Season 4 – Top 12

I took the weekend off from blogging so I need to do two seasons today to catch up in time for tomorrow night’s American Idol season 8 premiere.  Are you excited? 

The fourth season of Idol ended with a showdown between Carrie Underwood (winner) and Bo Bice (runner-up).  It was a relatively good season, if you ask me, and I genuinely was unsure who would win.  I really adored Anthony Federov and was so upset when he was eliminated and I had an inexplicable fondness for Constantine Maroulis. 

For fun, here’s a look back at that season’s Top 12 (the dates indicate when they were eliminated – year was 2005):

1. Carrie Underwood – Winner
2. Bo Bice – May 25
3. Vonzell Solomon – May 18
4. Anthony Fedorov – May 11
5. Scott Savol – May 4
6. Constantine Maroulis – April 27
7. Anwar Robinson – April 20
8. Nadia Turner – April 13
9. Nikko Smith – April 6
10. Jessica Sierra – March 30
11. Mikalah Gordon – March 24
12. Lindsey Cardinale – March 16
