What signed music artists do you think COULD compete and do well in American Idol? Make a top 12!?

Question by isabel_jade: What signed music artists do you think COULD compete and do well in American Idol? Make a top 12!?
Make your own top 12 of popular signed music artists who you think are great singers and could actually sing live and compete on American Idol. Age limit doesn’t matter.
Most of todays signed artists would not be able to sing live every week. They use the magic of the studio to sound good and sing to a track on stage. I am a music producer and know this as a fact. Most singers would be singing way off key and would have to rely on their personality and dancing to pull them through. If you want name some artists who you know would not be able to pull it off as well. (the sanjaya list…lol) A lot of people say that most of the contestants suck but they should get props for being able to perform live and get by every week.
My top 12:

Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Jared Leto (30 Seconds to Mars)
Christina Aguilera
Justin Timberlake
Mariah Carey
Wanya Morris (Boyz II Men)
Beyonce
Brian McKnight
Jojo
Joe
Martina McBride
Chester Bennington (Linkin Park)

My Sanjaya list: (based on singing alone not performance including dancing, stage performance or style. based on their real singing without auto tune or ‘studio magic’. just like sanjaya raw up on stage) Please note: no disrespect to these artists, I just know they are more than their voice.

The Pussycat Dolls
Ashlee Simpson
Ciara
Omarion
Rhianna
Hilary Duff
Britney Spears
Christina Milian
Ashanti
Cassie
There are more but I don’t wanna push the limits. Peace.
