I am ranking all 49 contestants to have ever graced the X Factor USA stage. #xfactor
This entire list is subjective. I am not ranking the contestants based off singing ability but rather based on how much I liked them.

#42 TATE STEVENS
Season: 2
Mentor: LA Reid
Placement: 1 / 16
I don't dislike Tate, I just don't care for him and I found him to be an extremely underwhelming winner in the grand scheme of things. Most of my indifference toward Tate stems from the fact that I simply do not care for most country artists, hence why I find him to be boring.
Never forget when Nicole literally put a homeless guy through to the live shows. Dexter was a hilarious hot mess and while technically I should like him for that, I was not pleased with Nicole having chosen him over some legitimate good singers in the Overs category. I agree that this was Dexter's only opportunity but if you're going to put him through for the lolz, just to send him home the first week, what's the point? Dexter was always hopeless.
Carlos wasn't bad, he was just boring. Most of the "hype" around him was sympathy for his condition, which is arguably the only reason he got through since his voice wasn't overly impressive. His performances were just alright, but not anything worth remembering. I am not surprised he received the least public votes.
