American Idol

Ranking the Top 24 on American Idol (again!)

2

Since no one was cut this week on American Idol and since eight singers will be sent home when the show reconvenes, I’ve decided to re-rank the Top 24.

After all, we got to see each member of the Top 24 perform a solo (albeit brief) and a celebrity duet on the Sunday and Monday shows, and that helped separate some contenders from pretenders.

The top of these rankings will look similar to those I posted last week, though Ava August and Hunter Metts inched up a bit based on their stellar Top 24 rounds performances.

The biggest change is dramatic jumps for Cassandra Coleman and Beane, both of whom handled Idol’s big stage much better than I expected.

Remember, 16 singers advance to the next round.

Here are the new rankings. The number in parenthesis behind each singer’s name is where they were originally ranked.

    Ava August stole the show. She was magical. I agree with your top 2 rankings.
