American Idol Power Rankings: Volume III
And then there were eight.
Following the unsurprising ousting of Megan Joy from American Idol last week, the competition heads into tonight's performance show with a lot on the line.
How do our Power Rankinks reflect the status of various contestants? Let's find out...
5. Lil Rounds: This is your last chance, Lil! Drop the outdated looks, abandon the ballads and let loose! We all know you have the vocal chops, but your performances have grown more stale with each passing week.
4. Matt Giraud: Simon Cowell gave his best advice of the season to Giraud last week: you're talented, stop trying to emulate other artists. We didn't appreciate this crooner's attempt to replicate a hit from The Fray a week ago. We hope to see something more original tonight.
3. Kris Allen: Holding steady. Last week's wonderfully arranged "Ain't No Sunshine" was his best routine of the season. Continues to prove that he's more than a pretty face.
2. Danny Gokey: We go back and forth on Gokey each week. Following his most recent performance of "What Hurts the Most," though, we're back to being Gokeheads!
1. Adam Lambert: It's official. He's our favorite American Idol contestant of all-time.

A SIMPLE AMERICAN IDOL POWER RANKING GUIDE
There’s a difference between POWER and PERFORMANCE rankings, the former being cumulative whereas the latter is strictly based on performance week only.
Here are 3 simple guides to detect if the author or critic of such is reliable or not:
1. If Adam Lambert is not ranked number one, don’t bother reading further.
2. If Kris Allen is ranked below number three, then the list is bogus.
3. If Danny Gokey is ranked above number four, you are being misled by an obviously Gokey fan; therefore, the list must be a combination of wild imagination and a nightmare.
On the other hand, a good example of an AI PERFORMANCE RANKING is the IDOL METER.

Adam is NOT that great. There are a couple on this season that are just as good if not better. . . and the best AI contestant of ALL TIME? Please: Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, all of them are more talented. If adam Lambert wins he will just end up on Broadway like Clay.
