1 (Rank Last Week: 1) – @AngieAI12

She seemed destined to be the token girl in the bottom three this week after an awkward performance that the judges actually savaged. Totally unlike everyone’s favorite big-eyed siren. Instead, she scooted right through to a chair of safety without much drama at all. When you can coast after a bad performance that demonstrates a large following in your corner. The type she needs to carry her to ultimate victory.

2 (4) – @JanelleAI12

Suddenly, Janelle has displaced Kree at the top of the country heap and shown some chops on the guitar as well. The last few years the little cute country sweetheart has been as sure a thing as the cute guy with guitar. With none of those in her way, Janelle has the makings of a winner if she can keep improving.

3 (2) – @CandiceAI12

She’s clearly got the best voice in this competition, but ask Pia Toscano, Melinda Doolittle, Jennifer Hudson, Jessica Sanchez, Adam Lambert, Carly Smithson, and Elliot Yamin how often the singer with the best voice ends up winning on this show.

4 (3) – @KreeAI12

She now has to catch up with Janelle just to lock down the country demographic – it seems like that isn’t going to happen after Janelle’s breakout this week. Also, Kree’s smugness has to catch up with her sooner or later.

5 (5) – @AmberAI12

She has as much ability as anybody ranked ahead of her, but she just hasn’t caught on yet. She’s the only one in real danger of losing out to one of the boys and preventing an all-female final five. For nothing more than the fact that she’s getting lost among the other contestants.
