American Idol Top 12

Here are my top 12 rankings for American Idol:

1. Chris
2. Paris
3. Mandisa
4. Taylor
5. Katharine
6. Kellie
7. Lisa
8. Ace
9. Elliott
10. Melissa
11. Bucky
12. Kevin

I found it difficult to rank the contestants this year because a lot them are my favorites, well except for Kevin and Melissa. At first I had Paris on top, but since I want a guy to win this year, I put Chris on top. It's all about song choices and performances.

My wife's picks:

1 Chris Daughtry
2 Mandisa
3 Taylor Hicks
4 Katharine McPhee
5 Ace Young
6 Kellie Pickler
7 Lisa Tucker
8 Elliott Yamin
9 Paris Bennett
10 Bucky Covington
11 Melissa McGhee
12 Kevin Covais
