With American Idol having chosen its top 12 singers for the finals, we need to make our weekly Power Poll more of a challenge.
Choosing the top five contenders at this point in the competition would be listing almost half the remaining singers. And that's too easy.
Therefore, here's a look at the three American Idol hopefuls we think have the best chance of winning season seven:
1. David Archuleta: Can this 17-year old wonder kid go wire to wire as the favorite? He's given us no reason to think otherwise. Remember Melinda Doolittle last season, though, fans.
2. Brooke White: This might be wishful thinking, but White is a breath of fresh, folksy air. We've seen enough loud, diva-like singers over the year on Idol to get behind a pretty face who just sits on a stool, strums a guitar and makes beautiful music.
3. Carly Smithson: We could have placed either Michael Johns or Jason Castro in this spot, too, but Smithson gets the nod for her consistency. We also have a feeling the best is yet to come from this Irish crooner.
Who do you think will win American Idol?

David Archuleta is cute and he can sing but I think there is so much better, more mature and more deserving talent in the top 12. I don't think it's David's turn yet.

David Archuleta is amazing. I have much faith in him & I believe he's going to do outstanding in the competition. Even though he had a pretty rough night on Tuesday [3/11], didn't all of the past American Idols have atleast 1 night full of criticism? haha it also doesn't hurt that he's only like 4 months older than me ;)
I also give props to Brooke White and David Cook. They're good too. But David's got the complete deluxe American Idol package haha

DAVID DAVID DAVID. he's so young and has such amazing talent. he's always so positive with the critisism he recieves from the judges no matter what they say. he just has a great personality and has worked so hard for this i think it would be great if he could pull this off!

I would put David Cook, David Archuleta and Brooke White as the top faves - with Brooke having the greatest post-idol success. Carly Smithson does have an amazing voice but so far she's failed to create an emotional connection between her songs and her audience. So I can't see her going very far at all. The rest are great entertainment - but I don't think we'll remember them after this year's idol run.

I LOVE DAVID! he is my absulute favorite and i love both him and his voice. he is going to win and we all know it's true even if you dont like him all that much. he's not one of those annoying people that always says ' ohhh, you really think that, thank you sooo much!' like melinda dolittle did last year. and i think thats why she lost. bottomline is;; I LOVE HIM. i will marry him too.

Are you guys on crack here? David Archuleta is a cute little boy. Carly is the real thing and if you can't notice that then you're blind and deaf. She has the power-vocals to kick ass in this competition. She has the confidence to soar in here performances. She has the looks to impress and the heart to win over millions of people. You people need to open your eyes and vote for the winner because she is the only one who deserves to win this competition. VOTE FOR CARLY!!!!!

I love Jason Castro and totally think he should win American Idol! He puts his full heart into all of his performances and his voice is so soothing! He proves that you don't have to belt out big notes to be an inspiration, do well, and be an Idol. And his personality... he seems like the sweetest guy ever. He's funny and down to earth, and don't obsess over being perfect, unlike a lot of the other contestants. :] Don't even get me started on his gorgeous looks, those dreads and his eyes. He's gorgeous. I will completely support Jason Castro since he is so amazing! <3
