American Idol's Top 8 from Best to Worst

American Idol has been very hard this year to determine who is going to make it to the top. With the website votefortheworst.com asking for voters to vote for the worst, my predictions may in fact be way off. With that out of the mix for now, I have compiled the American Idol contestants from the best to the worst. I may be up for a big surprise but only America can make the difference. With all said, here is the ranking of this year's American Idol season seven contestants:

The Best

David Archuleta, a seventeen-year-old from Murray, Utah is a heart throb for the teenage voters. Because teenagers tend to vote constantly, phone call after phone call, David Archuleta will end up being this year's American Idol. He does have a great voice and personality. I was a little disappointed when he forgot the words to one of the songs. This did not affect him in the least.

Second Best

David Cook, 25, of Blue Springs, MO has taken songs that I personally did not like and made them incredibly amazing. He really has a true, genuine gift that will bring him a long ways in the music recording industry. When I heard "Billie Jean" I sat back and thought the song sounded so familiar. After listening to the lyrics I was in awe. He created a whole new feel to the song. I truly loved it.

3^rd Place Goes To:

Carly Smithson, 24, of San Diego, California will end her American Idol days going out in the top three. For some reason I just do not respect a woman with visible tattoos. It does not set off the right image for my children, but I do understand that it is not a beauty competition. She does have a nice voice but there is something about her that makes me, overall, not like her. Have you ever had the feeling that something is not right about a particular person? I believe she has gotten way too much credit for her performances.

Ending in the Top 4

With her choice of some boring songs and lack of charisma, Brooke White will end her chances in the final four. Her singing performances while playing the piano have been breathtaking, but it just is not enough to keep her going with contestants like David Cook and David Archuleta.

In The Number 5 Spot

Michael Johns of Buckhead, Georgia has not been that memorable to me. With several lackluster performances I may be giving him way too much credit to be in the number five spot. When he did the "We are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You" performance I think he might deserve to be in the top five this year. Whether or not others agree will only be known by the amount of votes he receives in the next couple of weeks.

Number 6

With controversy from another article I wrote, Kristy Lee Cook has what it takes to make it through, but it will be too late for Kristy to make the changes needed to move up in the next rounds.

Number 7

A powerful voice will not be enough to save Syesha Mercado from Sarasota, Florida. She is very pretty and talented but is still not good enough to be considered the next American Idol.

The Worst

I am sorry to have to make a decision on the worst of the top eight contestants. Unfortunately I have to and have chosen Jason Castro. Castro has really lost his sparkle since his first weeks in the competition. I am hoping that he picks some upbeat songs rather than dreary folk-type music. Maybe that will help his ratings a bit. But, for now, sorry Jason, I have to vote for you as the worst.

If you disagree with my rankings, prove me wrong by voting!
