We've had all kinds of talent grace the Idol stage, reppin' Georgia with pride. Here's a quick look at a few who stole the show:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
- **The Southern Gentleman: ** We can't talk about Georgia and American Idol without mentioning the one and only Chris Daughtry. This gruff-but-lovable rocker with a voice like melted butter on a pecan pie nearly took home the win in Season 5.
- The Voice of a Hurricane: Remember the powerhouse vocals of Fantasia Barrino? Yeah, that Georgia sunshine must have fueled those epic runs because this girl could SANG. Season 3 crowned her the champ, and the rest, as they say, is history.
- Sweet Tea and Sass: Lauren Alaina brought a double dose of Southern charm and a voice that could silence a cicada chorus during her run on Idol. This sassy songbird from Dawsonville became a runner-up in Season 10, but carved out a successful country music career nonetheless.
This is just a taste, mind you! There have been many more Georgia peaches who've shined on Idol.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.

So keep your eyes peeled, America, because Georgia's got a song to sing!
