The
WhatNotToSing.com preliminary numbers are up for Top 8 Night (Movie night) of American Idol with some interesting results. There are a whole bunch of people hanging together in the middle of the pack, with four contestants rated 39 to 46. Bear in mind
last week the highest scoring contestant (you know who!) was eliminated, but the score rankings were still accurate in predicting the other two people in the bottom 3. Now that we have seven data points for eight contestants, the bar graph is starting to look pretty messy, but I will still compile it because it is so colorful:
It helps to demonstrates when contestants had their "peaks" and if they have been very consistent (i.e. like James or Scotty) or not (like Jacob or Casey). The line graph demonstrates this pretty well too:
With Pia Toscano eliminated, James now dominates the top of the graphs with Lauren Alaina's numbers now showing some consistency. Scotty McCreery has always been consistent, but with lower numbers than James, Lauren or Pia. Haley Reinhart had been showing a nice steady improvement until this week, and Jacob is now showing a slow descent in the past three weeks. Stefano Langone and Paul McDonald have been the most erratic the past few weeks, with the two of them seemingly alternating between strong and weak weeks in their performances. What's up with that? Are they sharing a brain or something?
As for predicting who will be in the bottom 3 this evening I wonder if anyone is safe besides James (who performed last) and probably Scotty and Lauren. All bets are off for everybody else.
