Flashback: Corey Clark's "Drift Away"

Idol's second season was the birthplace of the series' controversy, as early favorite Frenchie Davis was disqualified for topless photos before the semifinals round. But the even bigger scandal came Top 9 week, when it was revealed that finalist Corey Clark had a criminal past he had failed to inform producers of. Therefore, his performance of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away" in the country/rock themed week was the last one he gave while on the Idol stage. Watch the performance below:



Corey was not the weakest contestant, but his past surely came back to haunt him in a devastating way. The manner in which he handled the events afterward was even more disrespectful, and for that he will forever be a member of the "fallen idols" camp.
