American Idol Power Poll: The Top 10
by Hilton Hater at .With the American Idol top 10 taking the stage again tonight, and with this shaping up to be one of the more hotly-contested seasons to date, it's time for the first THG Power Poll of the season.
Who do you see as the favorite right now?
10. Deandre Brackensick: Would have been our choice to leave after last week's debacle. He can hit the high notes... and that's about it.
9. Heejun Han: Love the personality, don't see anything on stage that makes him standout above the rest. It's solid and nothing more or less.
8. Elise Testone: Might suffer some likability issues. Did you notice her NOT applauding for Erika last week? Or not hugging Skylar? Yes, we're forced to nitpick when the talent is this even. We did love her version of "Let's Stay Together."
7. Joshua Ledet: We expect plenty of disagreement here. It's not a question of his voice, just of his theatrics. Ledet's "When a Man Loves a Woman" may have been the single best of any contestant this season, but we can see his act growing old.
6. Skylar Laine: She has the energy and the attitude, that's for sure. She also has the identity: a rocking country chick. She just lacks the range.
5. Erika Van Pelt: Loved her take on“Edge of Glory." A smooth, consistent voice makes it hard to see this finalist faltering in the next few weeks.4. Colton Dixon: Love the risks he takes - a song by White Lion?!? - and love his confidence on stage. Most definitely stands out on a weekly basis.
3. Jessica Sanchez: Will go down in Idol history for her version of “I Will Always Love You." That should be enough to keep her around for awhile. But can she go outside the world of ballads? A less-than-impressive take on “Turn the Beat Around" causes us to wonder.
2. Hollie Cavanagh: Has she had an off week yet? Memorable auditions of “Reflection,” “All the Man That I Need,” and “The Power of Love" prove she has staying power. Could work on her versatility and stage presence.
1. Phillip Phillips: He's a cute young white guy with a guitar. Until American Idol viewers prove they are capable of crowning someone else, he has to be the favorite.

I think jessica by far has the most talent. She should win out of phillp phillps but he is close to jessca but not as talented. Jessica should win it all!!!!!!!!!!!!
If jessica loses, she will still be more famous than the one to be crowned as the american idol. I would like to see her win, because she 100% ,totally deserve this.
The writer states " 1. Phillip Phillips: He's a cute young white guy with a guitar. Until American Idol viewers prove they are capable of crowning someone else, he has to be the favorite. Can you explain yourself regarding: "white" guy?
Elise is the best by far. I'll admit though that she had a terrible week, but DeAndre really needs to stop. He is terrible, and all three judges should be ashamed for saying anything to the contrary. They are honestly the most pathetic excuses for a judging panel in modern history. They need to grow up, and grow a pair while they're at it. Constructive criticism is SO useful to the contestants. Or at least it would be if the judges gave any.
They are all good but my favorite is Jessica Sanchez.
