Here are 10 of the most memorable 'Idol' performances of all time

...In honor of the show's end, here are 10 of the most memorable performances to grace the "Idol" stage -- and a couple of honorable mentions. Believe it or not, many of them aren't from the show's winners or more popular alumni.

...9. Haley Reinhart - "House of the Rising Sun"

Season 10's third place finisher Haley Reinhart wasn't necessarily a fan favorite, having landed in the bottom three of vote getters on four occasions. Week after week, however, she delivered powerful vocals met with praise from judges Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Jackson. While in the top five, Reinhart sang "The House of the Rising Sun," popularized by British rock group the Animals. Lopez remarked: "That song has never been sung like that before."

These lists can be annoying. Some of the performances ahead of Haley's are like WTF? Fancy, for example, is not a top ten Idol performance, although it might be a good PMJ plug.

wasn't necessarily a fan favorite

Haley did have an unusual trajectory on Idol, going from surviving by the skin of her teeth to finishing third (and she didn't miss second place by much). But the comment isn't really accurate.

These lists have Haley criminally underrated. Like, all of them do.

The song Haley sings with Paul is "Renegades"

[mercfan3]

Is that Paul's song?
