Here are her flagship AI performances. It's a really tough call, but i agree that no one else in the same league as either one of them (i say this as AI3 winner Kerry Underwood just won country entertainer of the year- again. Not really my kind of music though).

This first one is often hailed as the best performance in AI history, but i actually think some of her other performances were better:


These next 2 are usually mentioned as among the top 10 AI performances:




While not my favorite song, this one i think was her best performance.

Of course Adam still has half a season left to go...
