Ranking the Top 4 on American Idol
Just four contestants remain, and I’m still not certain who I think should be the next American Idol. It’s that close between Candice Glover, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller.

Six more battle round match-ups will be featured tonight on The Voice. But the losing contestants won’t automatically be eliminated from the competition.
On our TV screens every Wednesday and Thursday, it sure looks like a three-way fight for the Season 12 American Idol title. If Angie Miller can mobilize her huge base of social media followers over the next few weeks, it could easily turn into a one-lady race.
His audition: C. Perkins, 19, of New Orleans, auditioned with “Because of You” by Ne-Yo. As he was singing a run in the chorus, Shakira turned around. She turned out to be the only coach to do so.
His audition: Ryan Innes, 31, of Provo, Utah, took The Voice stage proclaiming, “I might be late to the party, but I’m going to make the most noise.” He sang John Mayer’s “Gravity,” and Adam Levine turned around after the first word.

Their audition: Midas Whale — Jon Peter Lewis, 32, on guitar, and Ryan Hayes, 26, on accordion — auditioned with Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.” Usher was the first judge to turn around, followed by all the rest. In the end, Midas Whale decided to team up with Team Adam.
Her audition: Sarah Simmons, 22, of Memphis, Tenn., sang Joan Osborne’s “One of Us” and dazzled the judges, getting all four to turn around. After hearing praise from all four, she decided to join Team Adam. After all, Adam Levine told her “you, 150 percent, can win this show.”
That was one heck of a vocal Janelle Arthur delivered on her save-me song Thursday night. But it wasn’t enough. The Idol judges deadlocked 2-2 on whether to save Janelle. And since the save must be unanimous, Janelle wound up heading home in fifth place on Season 12.
Luck of the Draw
