Ranking the Remaining Top Five American Idol Finalists: My Predictions

It's late April once again which means we are now only at least 4 weeks away from having another American Idol winner. The 5 American Idol 11 finalists remaining in the competition are:

Philip Phillips from Leesburg, Georgia

Joshua Ledet from Westlake, Louisiana

Jessica Sanchez from San Diego, California

Hollie Cavanagh from McKinney, Texas

Skylar Laine from Brandon, Mississippi

What we're gonna do here is we will tap some crystal balls as we try to predict who will be eliminated on each of the remaining weeks of American Idol until we get ourselves a winner. 

Let us start!

Week 1  

Eliminated: Hollie Cavanagh

A frequent member of the Bottom 3 during the past few weeks, we think here in Top Fives that her exit next week is highly inevitable. We even think that she's the one who should have been eliminated instead of Elise Testone during the last elimination night of American Idol 11. A good singer no doubt but a little inexperienced.

Week 2

Eliminated: Skylar Laine

Although country contestants dominated the last season of American Idol, we really believe that Skylar can only go up to the Top 4. America loves country. She's country. So Americans love her. Will have a great post-Idol career ahead of her.

Week 3

Eliminated: Philip Phillips

Sorry ladies, but your votes won't be enough to put Philip Phillips in the American Idol finale. He's really talented. He sings pretty well, he plays and most of all he connects with the audience when he performs. Let's hope this singer-songwriter could be at least as successful as Kris Allen when he finally says goodbye on Idol.

American Idol 11 Finale

Jessica Sanchez vs. Joshua Ledet

The two most vocally-sound contestants remain as Jessica Sanchez faces off Joshua Ledet in a hot finale. This will be an amazing sing-off as both contestants have already proved that they can sing anything, may it be slow, or uptempo. They deserve to be in the finale.

American Idol 11 Winner: Jessica Sanchez

Why? Although both contestants are equally talented, we believe that Jessica Sanchez will get more votes come finale time. She received America's sympathy and votes after being saved by the Judges during the first Top 7 week and may continue to do so for the next coming weeks. We will have our first female winner after four years of having male winners (David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty Mccreery)!
