American Idol Top 10 Recap: Who Was the Best?
by Free Britney at .The American Idol Top 10 gave it their all Wednesday with "Songs of the Idols," i.e. tracks used on the show by previous contestants or later released by winners.
Basically, hooray for Kelly Clarkson tributes!
It's hard to handicap a clear favorite right now, but as Randy Jackson put it, Angie Miller, Candice Glover, and Kree Harrison look like they're in it to win it.
Take a look at those strong efforts below:
Angie Miller - I Surrender (American Idol Top 10)
Candice Glover - I Who Have Nothing (American Idol Top 10)
Kree Harrison - Crying (American Idol Top 10)
The vocals and performances of the above three seemed to put them in the top tier last night, though there are many weeks (and voter surprises) to come.
As for the best - and worst - of the rest? Read on ...
We'd rank Amber Holcomb, Burnell Taylor and Janelle Arthur in the middle tier. Nothing too groundbreaking last night, but probably good enough to stay put.
Here are the three of them doing their thing:
Amber Holcomb - A Moment Like This (American Idol Top 10)
Burnell Taylor - Flying Without Wings (American Idol Top 10)
Janelle Arthur - Gone (American Idol Top 10)
In the bottom tier we've got Lazaro Arbos, Curtis Finch, Jr., Paul Jolley, and Devin Velez. Just not seeing all that much from any of them right now.
Agree? Disagree? Watch them now:
Lazaro Arbos - Breakaway (American Idol Top 10)
Curtis Finch Jr. - I Believe (American Idol Top 10)
Paul Jolley - Amazed (American Idol Top 10)
Devin Velez - Temporary Home (American Idol Top 10)

Angie needs to go,she is so annoying
Devin Velez has one of the most beautiful singing voices....this is a singing competition. I'm praying he wins!
I think Candice is amazing singer . I honestly would love for her to sing river deep mountain high by Tina Turner.
All of the women are fantastic singers. If any one of them is sent home tonight, it would be so wrong. Frankly, it's a shame that Idol is sticking to the format of starting out with equal numbers of men and women in the top 10. IMO only 2 of the guys can sing on key, Devon and Paul. The other guys are taking up spaces that should have gone to the ladies.
Angie by far is the best, the panel will boost Clover to win it all and that's the way it is.
