Ranking the 'American Idol' Goodbye Songs
For the past eight seasons, American Idol has chosen what's called a "goodbye song." After a contestant is eliminated, they play a video of their journey on the show with that song playing in the background. It started in season 5 with Daniel Powter's "Bad Day," which became an instant hit around the country. Ever since then, they've kept it within the Idol family, as all the singers have been former contestants (mostly winners), and even the very first champion from the UK's Pop Idol.
