Rate & Predict American Idol

New power rankings show that American Idol Season 9 has devolved into Crystal Bowersox and everyone else.  Crystal has an average power ranking of 1.8, which means nearly everyone has voted her as either the 1st or 2nd best contestant… which isn’t much of a surprise.

There are 4 clear tiers of contestants:

• The favorite (Crystal)
• The contenders (Siobhan Magnus, Big Mike Lynche)
• Good not great (Didi Benami, Lee Dewyze, Casey James)
• Everyone else

It’s so sad to see early favorites Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens free-fall out of contention.

To make these power rankings more comprehensive, I’ve started scouring the web for power rankings from popular blogs.  These power rankings will also show up in the sidebar in this blog.
