How do you think American Idol 5 will lay out?

[EmoJoe]

in other words, how do you think the elimination order is going to go?

IMO...

Out Next Week
Kinnik Sky- her past 2 performances have been "blah" and she just barely slipped through this week. dont think she'll make top 12
Melissa McGhee- i think she does have a chance of making the top 12, but not a huge one, because the other contestants DO overshadow her.
Bucky Covington- im not even sure how he made it to the top 16 over david, sway, and patrick honestly. he'll be out next week, he's not a stand-out.
Gedeon McKinney- the judges seem to really like him and i think he has a chance at the top 12, but again, he's overshadowed by others. HOWEVER, he seems to be the scott savol of the year- he has some sort of secret fanbase voting for him, so he could make top 12. we'll see.

12th: Kevin Covais- i think he'll make top 12 because of his "cuteness" factor. he really doesnt have much of a dedicated fanbase, if you go on IDF and other places. so i think people will stop voting for him and start voting more for their favorites, so he'll be booted first out of the top 12.
11th: Will Makar- i like will and would love for him to go further then this, but i cant see it happening. with david gone, it seems america just wont accept his type anymore. BUT, he does have enough fans to carry him to the top 12. i think he just doesnt have that "wow" factor that some other contestants do, so that'll hurt him and he'll be out at 11th.
10th: Lisa Tucker- i think lisa could potentially be a shock elimination. she doesnt seem to have a HUGE fanbase so that'll hurt her, but i do think she'll make top 10. she could make it much further then this, but for now, i think she'll be out at 10th.
9th: Ayla Brown- *sigh* i would LOVE to put her higher then here i think that if she continues performing like she has, she CAN make it MUCH further then this, but as of now i dont see it. i really like her but i dont know, i just cant see her making it past 9th as of now. i HOPE i prove myself wrong
8th: Mandisa- i'm expecting a shocker here, actually. I think Mandisa will place 8th mainly because she's good, but not OMGMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. so i think she'll place 8th
7th: Taylor Hicks: some people may be shocked that i'm putting him here, but honestly, i think his act is going to get old fast. i mean, how long can a 60-year-old looking guy singing soul ballads last on a show like AI, with the majority of votes being in their teens/20s? not long. i think he'll be out in a semi-shocker at 7th
6th: Paris Bennett: if i were to write this during the hollywood rounds, paris would for sure be at 2nd or 3rd. but now...it seems that she's not living up to the promise she did in her audition. i think she'll have a series of bad performance and then finally be out at 6th
5th: Eliott Yamin: i think eliott is gonna go far. he's the bo/latoya/jasmine/kelly of the season, the one with little airtime but still gets far anyway. HOWEVER, i think he is forgettable and that he is kind of outshined by others.
4th: Kellie Pickler: i think she's gonna be the contestant who makes it too far this season. like scott and john stevens in previous seasons. but, her lucky streak will end at 4th.
3rd: Ace Young: i think his voice could fit into mainstream music like a glove, but im not sure that he'll make finale
Runner-up: Katharine McPhee: she'll be in the finale in a close results finale IMO, and she'll lose to chris, only because america wants a guy to win this season.
THE AMERICAN IDOL: Chris Daughtry- he has what he needs to win. a good voice, good stage presense, and also, it helps that hes a guy, cause america and producers are pimping for a guy to win this season.

so yeah, i tried to make it as unbiased as possible.
