Predicting the Order of Finish





Oscar Dahl from BuddyTV has just posted a list where he predicts, using logic, the order of finish in this season's Idol.





Here's the list:

9. Syesha Mercado - She's going to give another pretty good performance next week, but it won't be enough to save her.

8. Kristy Lee Cook - Even though she avoided the bottom three this week, Cook has spent the last month on the precipice of elimination. If she comes out next week wearing only a flesh-baring American flag and two bald eagles on her shoulders, however, all bets are off.

7. Carly Smithson - I'm liking Carly more and more as the season goes along, but I don't think she possesses the fan base I expected her to at the beginning of the season.

6. Jason Castro - Jason goes one of two ways beginning next week. Either he steps up, becomes motivated and gives us some uniquely great performances, or he folds. His lack of effort recently has been noticeable and, frankly, I'm not all that sure Jason's heart is in this thing.

5. Ramiele Malubay - She has a pretty good voice, but it's clear that she's outclassed by most of the remaining singers. This is where the talent difference just becomes too vast.

4. Michael Johns - For all I care, you can switch Michael and Jason on this list. That's how close I think the two of them are at this point.

3. Brooke White - I almost placed Brooke in second place, but then I got to thinking – when it comes down to the Davids and Brooke, which one is not like the other? Brooke and Archuleta would logically appear to have a similar voting base.

2. David Cook - The rocker versus the pop singer. This will be very similar to last year's final. David Cook will probably be very happy to lose out to Archuleta and in the process gain that much more freedom when it comes to recording his debut album.

1. David Archuleta - The simple fact is this: David not only has to have some really poor performances to not win, he's going to need a string of really bad performances to get ousted.

...What do you think?
