I want to preface this list by saying that I believe, at this point, anything could happen. If Phil Phillips was eliminated tonight, I’d be surprised, but I would not be OMG SHOCKED GOBSMACKED HOLEEE CRAP.

So here’s my American Idol Top 6 Power List. Probably totally wrong. I’ll post my thinking alongside my choices, and then we’ll see.

1. Phil Phillips – He’s an ARTIST. He got a decent amount of positive pimping last night, and he performed fairly well. With Colton knocked off last week, he may be getting some of his votes.
2. Skylar Laine – She also had a good night and is peaking at just the right time. I think she’ll be the last girl standing.
3. Joshua Ledet – I think he’s got a fanbase. I can’t imagine he’s splitting votes with anyone. He had 2 fairly solid performances last night, with his 2nd song, coming later in the broadcast, as his stand out.
4. Holly Cavanagh – She closed the show with a crowd favorite and sang it really, really well. Her Queen cover was decent too. Judges have been pretty complimentary. She was adorable in the contestant packages.
5. Jessica Sanchez – She performed first, with a tune that wasn’t quit right for her. The second song was decent, but there were better performances. Although, her daddy backstory could have earned her some votes. I don’t think she’ll make the top 3 at this point.
5. Elise Testone – I thought Elise was the best out of the bunch last night, but she was in the bottom 3 last week, and her second song (although I thought it rocked) may have been too weird for audience. I hope I’m wrong, but I predict she’ll be going home tonight.

    No one has been as consistent as Joshua. His power ranking should be a solid #1.

    In my opinion Josh is the best all around performer. His talent is not
    limited to Gospel; also the guy can move around on the stage better than
    anyone there. That little run he did toward the end of his second song
    is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard! He deserves to be
    in the final two, but who knows!

    Had to quote both of these because they are nothing but the truth.
