American Idol Top 7 Part II Rankings

Finally, an easier format to do rankings. Some good song choices tonight and a very strong episode. I think it is completely fair to say that vocally speaking, from top to bottom, this year's crop of Idols is well ahead of the rosters of X-Factor and The Voice.

Round 1- "Now"

7. Colton Dixon- B
6. Skylar Laine- B
5. Phillip Phillips- B+
4. Joshua Ledet- B+
3. Jessica Sanchez- B+
2. Hollie Cavanagh- A-
1. Elise Testone- A-

Round 2- "Then"

7. Elise Testone- B
6. Colton Dixon- B
5. Phillip Phillips- B
4. Hollie Cavanagh- B+
3. Joshua Ledet- B+
2. Skylar Laine- B+
1. Jessica Sanchez- A-

Then and Now

7. Colton Dixon
6. Phillip Phillips
5. Elise Testone
4. Skylar Laine
3. Joshua Ledet
2. Hollie Cavanagh
1. Jessica Sanchez

I think the Bottom Three will be Joshua, Hollie, and Elise, with the lowest vote getters likely being Hollie and Elise.

It may be close, but I think Elise will be the one saying goodbye.
