Last night on American Idol 2014, we said goodbye to Sam Woolf and hello to our Top 4: Jena Irene, Jessica Meuse, Alex Preston and Caleb Johnson.
One of them will be winning American Idol very soon, so now is when these power rankings really get put to the test. So let’s get to it.
4. Jessica Meuse. I’m actually surprised Jessica didn’t go home last night over Sam, but I’m glad this is how it happened, because I think this is the truest final four there could be this season. I do see Jessica going home next, however, just missing the home visits. Unless we have a Chris Daughtry moment.
3. Alex Preston. I don’t see him trading places with Jessica next week, so I think he will finish third at this point. Unless something incredible happens next week. But then again, for all I know, he may be America’s favorite (he does have the most Twitter followers). I don’t see how, but he has never been in the bottom.
2. Caleb Johnson. This is the first time in a long time that Caleb hasn’t been number 1. I think I’m finally going to go ahead and switch him with Jena. I can’t see Caleb not making it to the finale and he still has a very strong shot at winning. But right now, I think all the power has shifted.
1. Jena Irene. Who knew she’d go from wild card, to bottom three to the top spot in our rankings. But I think she holds all the power right now. She has the second-most Twitter followers (Alex has about 20K more) and all the buzz is surrounding her right now. And she’s had really strong performances the past four weeks. She’s on fire and can win this.
