My American Idol 11 Top 7 Redux power list! What’s yours?

These power lists get harder and harder to do the closer it gets to the finale. Everyone left in the cast is talented, and I would say that last night’s performances were mostly pretty good.

Jessica Sanchez is safe for now. She’ll get lots of votes after she was nearly eliminated last week. I know some of you believe Colton Dixon will end up in the bottom 3 after last night’s weak performances. But I think this kid has a solid fan base that I’m sure kicked into overdrive last night after the judges dissed him. I think he’s probably still getting a lion’s share of the votes. Phil Phillips, a popular contestant already, did well last night, so he earns the #1 spot. Skylar Laine is the only girl left with a chance of winning this thing. She’s #3 and the highest placed girl. Even with the pimp spot last night, I don’t think Joshua Ledet did enough to climb out of the bottom 3. Hollie Cavanagh may have been damned by the judges praise last night. There’s no need to save Hollie now.

And finally? Buh Bye Elise Testone.  I remain a huge fan and look forward to seeing you on tour.  You just could not manage to connect with Idol viewers.  Like Jimmy said, you needed to hit it out of the ballpark every single week and that did not happen last night .  Arguing with Jlo after your performance did not help.  You are a fine singer, but terrible at the Idol game. But it won’t matter once you’re out of the bubble.

Having said all that, anything could happen tonight. Another shock boot would not surprise me.

1. Phil Philips
2. Colton Dixon
3. Skylar Laine
4. Jessica Sanchez
5. Hollie Cavanagh
6.Joshua Ledet
7. Elise Testone

    I’ll keep my response short and sweet:

    “See you on finals night, Elise.”

    I’m predicting a Skylar shock boot! 

    Please please let Elise stay specially with a Queen there next week!

    If they don’t say “This show will shock you”..then we will know it’s Elise going home. I still say Skyar and maybe even Colton will be in bottom 3. I’m always wrong, so don’t listen to me, lol.

     Only ONE will be going home tonight.

    Does anyone else still have some hope of Jessica winning?

    Oh, totally.  And I don’t dislike Lauren. I just worry about her a bit having to hit the ground running and work so hard at her young age. I hope it’s worth it in the long run.

    I think the seemingly unending criticism from the judges on Elise Tuesday night motivated her fans to vote more than than normally do.  I know I did.  I know some people want to see bright, smiling, ‘pageant faces’ taking all the judges criticism, but after singing your heart out, it has to be wearing to hear judges say things that often don’t seem to be based on reality or particularly constructive.  After thinking about it a bit, I have absolutely no problem with Elise or any other Idols being totally honest with how they feel about the judges criticism.  Guess what, we like our professional singers to ‘keep it real’.  Hearing what they really think rather than gritting and smiling through it is actually a sign of being an artist.
