4. Adam Lambert (Season 8, Runner-up)
He brought sitars, “Mad World,” glitter, and Burning-Man weirdness to the Idol stage, which says a lot. Even when his vocals wavered, he remained the compelling white-hot center of season eight, a completely unpredictable one-man carnival whose energy transformed that year of Idol into one still argued about today. It’s almost right that he didn’t win; he didn’t need the spotlight afforded by an Idol victory, and his performing background no doubt made him aware that the best performers are the ones who let their co-stars shine just as brightly.

This part is so true:
"the best performers are the ones who let their co-stars shine just as brightly."

Adam did "break" AI IMO. No one before or since was as unique and risky. He raised the bar on that show and no one touched it.
