Kelly Clarkson

Roy's Opinion

Since winning Idol back in 2002, Kelly seems to have gone full circle with her hair color back to a dark, mocha brown. I like dark hair on Kelly, it looks healthier and her current length is softer and much more mature looking.

8/10

Sarah's Opinion

Even though there have been many hairstyles, Kelly seems to have gone back to her original style but has also added a modern twist to it. I love the shoulder length bob with the sharp finish.

10/10

Paola's Opinion

This stunning diva kept her auburn mane very similar, opting out of her long locks and strips of blonde from 2002. Kelly cut her sassy tresses off into a long bob, which I think is a great styling transition from the look of her earlier days.

8/10

Fantasia Barrino

Roy's Opinion

The 2004 look was more structured and defined than her current curls which are soft in appearance. Fantasia's current color is somewhat boring; infact the hairstyle is dull and needs to come to life.

1/10

Sarah's Opinion

Fantasia's hairstyles are always kept at short lengths but also seem to have been relaxed down to a simple style which is easier to keep. The natural waves of her current style adds body and texture to her hairdo.

7/10

Paola's Opinion

The very talented Fantasia always looks great but her new style seems to lack pizzazz. I love her first hairstyle from when she won American Idol in 2004 as this cut gives her the right shape and character around her face. It's a great choice!

3/10

Carrie Underwood

Roy's Opinion

No big hairstyle change for Carrie since 2005. She loves her long blonde hair, and I like her blonde too, but it's time for a shorter cut! She's too young and beautiful for her current look!

3/10

Sarah's Opinion

While Carrie hasn't made much of a change, her hair has certainly grown up with her. Her locks have blossomed into a mature looking 'do which has been styled to suit her face shape.

7/10

Paola's Opinion

Carrie sure has changed since her debut in 2005 and I love her look now. The sexy waves and the golden blonde tones with the heavy side bangs gives her an all over stunning look.

9/10

Taylor Hicks

Roy's Opinion

It looks like George Clooney has had a word to Taylor about his hairstyle! This is a much better and younger look for last year's Idol winner. I would suggest a short goatee to broaden his narrow chin and to create a more masculine look.

7/10

Sarah's Opinion

It looks like Taylor has not changed his cut at all over the past year! The way it is styled gives it a slight change, but other then that, he has stayed with this look. I think it's a great choice, especially since the cut is perfect for his hair type.

8/10

Paola's Opinion

Taylor has kept his look fairly similar since his win in 2006 and I like his look now with the short bangs down on his face. I also love the grey color; it makes him look very distinguished!

5/10
