Elise Testone was the biggest upward mover, jumping 4 spots to #3 overall. Personally, I thought her rendition of Led Zepplin’s “Whole Lotta Love” was the most entertaining number of the show, so I’m glad to see Elise moving back up. Skylar Laine was our biggest mover overall, dropping 5 spots to #8. After seeing Miranda Lambert live in concert just a couple of months ago, I thought Skylar’s version of “Gunpowder and Lead” was decent, but it apparently didn’t impress the voters as she ended up in the bottom 3 this week.

For this coming week, I expect to see Skylar Laine and DeAndre Brackensick in the bottom 3. According to my rankings, Colton Dixon would also be in the bottom 3, but if he delivers another knock-out performance this week then I just don’t see that happening. He’s awesome, but he’s also up against some really stiff competition.

So my prediction this week is a tough one. I like Skylar better than DeAndre personally, but my “Compughter” algorithm has Skylar ranked slightly lower. I’m going to have to go with my gut on this one and predict that DeAndre goes home next week.

If you like these rankings, please share. If you don’t, jump on my Facebook page and let me hear about it.  But beware: Critics are welcome, but name callers get banned.  No exceptions.  Just ask David Archuleta's brother!

Happy Friday, everyone!

American Idol Season 11 Contestant Rankings - Week 3

American Idol Season 11 Contestant Rankings - Powered by CompughterRatings.com


With football season light years away and NCAA Basketball already down to the Final Four, I got a little bored and decided that it’s time to apply some math to something a bit different. Something non-sports related. I’ve always loved music and singing, although I’m not much of a singer myself. So I figured, “Why not give American Idol a try?” No, I’m not talking about trying out for the show. I’m too old for that. But I am going to take a stab at ranking the American Idol contestants this year. I’ve been messing around with an algorithm for a few weeks and when it rightly predicted two of the first three to be sent home, I thought I might as well share it with the general public. So here goes. I’m only going to post these rankings in my blog each week, not on the website. So keep checking back each week!

Below are the Season 11 American Idol Contestant Rankings for Week 3. As of right now, it looks like Hollie and Jessica are the most probable pair to compete against each other in this year's finale. I'm predicting the "Bottom 3" this week to be Elise, DeAndre, and Heejun. Most likely to exit the program during Week 4 is Heejun.

Don’t forget to hit me up on Facebook and leave some comments if you’ve got something to say!
