We sadly said goodbye to the quirky and talented Joey Cook. I was sad to see her go but based on the bottom 2 she was the one who performed the weakest. It was only fair that she was the one to leave. Now that they are singing to songs I will rank them based on each round.
Round 1:
6th: Tyanna Jones - Why Do Fools Fall In Love: This song didn't do Tyanna's voice justice. It was just ok coming from her when in the past she has been amazing. This point in the competition it is hard to get back from a stumble although her second performance may have saved her.
5th: Rayvon Owen - Long Train Running: This was a very strong performance from Rayvon with a few off moments here and there but overall he was very solid tonight. I just think the other 4 contestants out performed him this round. I think he's going to be in the bottom 2 but I'm not sure if he's going to stay or leave.
4th: Quentin Alexander - Are You Gonna Go My Way: This performance of Quentin's was probably one of the best I heard from him so far in the competition. With that being said let me talk about what happened with Harry Connick Jr., I get that Quentin was upset by the bottom 2 and I didn't take it the wrong way that he should leave after those comments. However, I fear for his safety because of this outburst because I could see millions of grandmas who watch the show being turned off by him and saying Harry was right. The only thing I think is what JLO said is that he needs to learn to control his emotions of being upset about that.
3rd: Jax - Piece Of My Heart: This is the Jax I missed so much last week. I think this performance was another strong one from Jax even though it wasn't my favorite thing she has done overall. I feel like she has a 50/50 shot of being safe or being in the bottom 2.
2nd: Clark Beckham - Superstition: This was the PERFECT choice for Clark. I was in awe the entire performance when Clark sang. I can't even explain how much I love watching him perform every week. I think he will sail through to the next week no problem.
1st: Nick Fradiani - American Girl: Okay coming in at this week's biggest surprise is Nick Fradiani. I am so proud of Nick coming through when I feel it mattered the most. This week to me was one of Nick's finest moments and it was the right time to peak for him. If he continues down this path I think he may knock out a few people no one expects him to.
Round 2:
6th: Quentin Alexander - The Sound Of Silence: I just don't like this song I guess. This was an okay performance from Quentin. I've just heard him do better in the competition. There were a few off moments within the song. I think he may be in a lot of danger this week just because of what happened earlier in the show. Status: Not Safe.
5th: Jax - Beat It: To be honest I did not hate it like half of my twitter line did. I actually found myself very into this performance of Jax's. I don't think she quite measured up to the other contestant's performances this round but I do think it was entertaining. This song was very hit or miss with Jax so I don't know how it will go over. Status: Not Safe.
4th: Clark Beckham - Moon River: This performance of Clark's was gorgeous but it just didn't lead me anywhere like his other performances have. It was beautiful and perfect sounding but it just didn't get me excited. Status: Safe for the week.
3rd: Rayvon Owen - Always On My Mind: Rayvon has been growing by leaps and bounds and I find myself rooting for him because I always love a good underdog story. I know a lot of people are pissed he got the twitter save, I'm not one of them just because he really did a great job with both performances, even though they weren't perfect he fought his way for this Top 6 spot. Status: Not Safe.
2nd: Tyanna Jones - Proud Mary: And with her comeback is Tyanna Jones who killed her second song. I honestly think with 'Stay' and 'Proud Mary' so far she is setting herself up to quite possibly beat out everyone's Top 2 Clark & Jax and she may just put herself into that finale against Clark. In my opinion any way this season goes will be great. Status: Safe for the week.
1st: Nick Fradiani - Only The Good Die Young: This was by far Nick's best performance to date and he finally peaked at the right time on the show. I am so proud of him for having one hell of a good night on the show. He literally fought so hard for his spot moving forward and I think he may have gotten it. Status: Safe for the week.
Who SHOULD be the bottom 2:
Quentin Alexander and Rayvon Owen
Who WILL be the bottom 2:
Quentin Alexander and Rayvon Owen
Who SHOULD go home:
Quentin Alexander
Who WILL go home:
I think it could go either way.

Top 7 Rankings
7th: Rayvon Owen (-1) - Oh Rayvon, Rayvon. I feel so bad with how he was in the bottom 2 this week because he really brought it last week. I think that makes 7th place the inevitable because he really brought it last week where this week was just meh. I'll be sad to lose him but he will be gone this week I really think.
6th: Joey Cook (-3): Don't get me wrong, I like Joey but this week was nothing special from her. I didn't hate it and I didn't love it which is why she ends up here.
5th: Quentin Alexander (+2): Oh my gosh Quentin was so amazing this week. I am so proud of how far he has come so far in the competition from only being a wildcard to making it to the Top 7. I think if he keeps up what he did this week he could truly be in the Top 5 and on that tour.
4th: Jax (-2): Oh Jax this week was not your best week so far in the competition. I love her but if she picks bad song choices like she did this week it could be the end of her Idol journey sooner than she deserves.
3rd: Tyanna Jones (+1): She's baaaaaaack America! I am so proud of Tyanna this week getting back to what made her so special. I feel if she continues to perform the way she did this week she will Stay for a long time in this competition.
2nd: Nick Fradiani (+3): This week was by far Nick's strongest week which I am really excited for. It wasn't a moment for him yet but I think he's headed in the right direction.
1st: Clark Beckham (-): Clark has been building such a huge empire of performances of moments for him. I am so thrilled to watch his journey because he's really been amazing every week which is something I haven't seen in a potential winner since Candice Glover. I know she was only 2 seasons ago but Clark has really made me look forward to seeing him every week which doesn't happen that often (Only Haley Reinhart has really done that for me recently). I hope he does end up winning because he has had flawless journey.

Top 7 Perform
Tonight we said goodbye to Qaasim which is great to see the twitter save seems to be weeding out the weakest contestants. I am really enjoying this Idol twist so far. I hope it can take the place of the judges save next season. Anyway here is how I feel the Top 7 did this week:
7th - Rayvon Owen - Set Fire To The Rain: This was the performance that wasn't for Rayvon. Although I could clearly see the passion in his eyes while he performed the song I just feel the vocal was much too weak to make up for lost ground. I'm glad he got the twitter save, however I think 2 times is all he's going to get because the 6 contestants ahead of him are just in a league of their own. Status: Most likely going home.
6th - Jax - Poker Face: It pains me to put Jax this low. You have no idea. This performance of Jax's was not bad by any stretch of the imagination but it just didn't have that special spark I've gotten from Jax's previous performances. I hope America can keep those performances in mind when they vote this week, otherwise Jax may find herself in need of the twitter save. Status: Not Safe.
5th - Joey Cook - Wrecking Ball: This performance was really nice from Joey, there were times when I felt she struggled a bit for the notes. I think it was solid but there were others who outsang her and had real moments tonight while this was just a solid performance from Joey. Status: Not Safe.
4th - Nick Fradiani - Teenage Dream: This was by far Nick's greatest performance this week and I am so glad to seem him making so many strides forward this week. I was surprised that he wasn't in need of the twitter save but I was glad to see him move on because I think he deserves to go far. I think he really needs to learn how to connect a little bit more like he did during "Babylon" in Hollywood Week. I hope he can do that next week if he survives. Status: Not Safe.
3rd - Clark Beckham - Make It Rain: Okay this seems to be my controversial choice because almost everyone put Clark first saying this was better than "The Trouble With Love Is". I thought it was solid and just okay at the beginning. Once he got into the song towards the end and really got into the grit and emotion behind the song I was like "okay there's the Clark I know and love". Last week in my opinion was just better from him. None the less I think he did another great performance. Status: Safe for the week.
2nd - Quentin Alexander - Latch: This performance was such a moment from Quentin. I am so happy to see him do so well especially with an uptempo which he hasn't done many of and the last time he did an uptempo it resulted in him needing the judges wildcard save. Never the less this performance really showed what Quentin could do in the competition. I think if he keeps this up we may be seeing him on tour. Status: Safe for the week.
1st - Tyanna Jones - Stay: She's baaaaaaaack! This was so beautiful from Tyanna. There literally are no words to describe how amazing Tyanna did tonight. I think this may have been one of the Top 2 performances of the season thus far. I am so glad to see Tyanna in her element and so connected to the lyrics. This is the Tyanna I've been waiting for to blow everyone out of the water with her performances. Status: Safe for the week

Top 7 Week Song Selections
This was based off the current Top 100 on billboard
Tyanna Jones - One Last Time (Ariana Grande): I think this song could be great from Tyanna. She could really slay the high notes this song calls for.
Jax - Love Me Like You Do (Ellie Golding): This song is litterally perfect for Jax I would be more surprised if she didn't end up picking this song.
Clark Beckham - I'm Not The Only One (Sam Smith): This song could highlight so many of Clark strong soulful points. I think it is the perfect choice for him.
Nick - Take Me To Church (Hozier): I think this song would really suit Nick's vibe of performances. I think he could have a real moment with this song if he chose to go with it.
Rayvon - Nobody Love (Tori Kelly): I think this song suits Rayvon's vibe of what he's great at and I really hope he considers doing this song.
Qaasim - Legend (Drake): I don't know it seemed to suit him best.
Quentin - Chains (Nick Jonas): I think this song suits Quentin's moody vibe that he's been giving over the past few weeks and I think it could be a real moment for him.
Joey - Dear Future Husband (Meghan Tranior): This suits Joey's quirky vibe unless she has come up with another song with a killer rearrangement
Tyanna Jones - One Last Time (Ariana Grande): I think this song could be great from Tyanna. She could really slay the high notes this song calls for.

Top 8 Rankings
After finally saying goodbye to Daniel Seavey this is where the rest of the contestants lie after such a strong night tonight.
8th: Qaasim Middleton (-): Qaasim is by far the weakest of all of the 8 contestants but I do see him trying to improve which I have to applaud for his efforts. Unfortunately his efforts just aren't enough compared to the other vocalists he's against.
7th: Quentin Alexander (-3): Quentin wasn't bad this week he just really needs to work on his pitch issues which are becoming a problem for him week after week. I really hope he can figure it all out like last week and give the performances he needs before it's too late.
6th: Rayvon Owen (+1): Rayvon has yet again improved his game. I think he needs to work on consistency if he wants to last in this season. I think the key to this season is staying consistent and in your lane of what makes you great. When people go outside of the lines, it is then they get sent home.
5th: Nick Fradiani (-2): Nick this week was only okay. I think he needs to really have a huge moment and impact the voters like I thought he would after "Babylon". He's been great week in and week out, don't get me wrong but I just feel like he needs to find that extra umph of what makes him special.
4th: Tyanna Jones (+1): Tyanna stayed consistently good this week which was great to see, however, her pitch has been off in spots the last few weeks. I don't know if it's nerves or what it is that is hindering Tyanna's performances but she can do so much better than what she's been delievering even though she's been great.
3rd: Joey Cook (+3): I never knew how much I was going to grow to love Joey as this competition has progressed. I just find her style to be so unique and throwback to the 1950's which is a fun thing to see come into play on American Idol. I think if she doesn't try what she did last week again she could be a real contender for the crown.
2nd: Jax (-): I think America will be all wrong if Jax and Clark are not the finale. Honestly minus Blank Space on Jax's end, week in and week out these two have dominated every performance night which has been amazing to see. I think Jax has only done slightly worse than Clark only because of her hinder with Blank Space. The two of them are evenly matched that I feel like if they are the finale it will be a real showdown to see who wins.
1st: Clark Beckham (-): The past 3 weeks have been Clark's weeks on the show. In my honest opinion this competition is Clark's to lose. I think he's been smart from week to week picking songs that have been great, moments, or good from him. I think unless he hits an awful blunder there is no stopping Clark on his way to victory.
8th: Qaasim Middleton (-): Qaasim is by far the weakest of all of the 8 contestants but I do see him trying to improve which I have to applaud for his efforts. Unfortunately his efforts just aren't enough compared to the other vocalists he's against.7th: Quentin Alexander (-3): Quentin wasn't bad this week he just really needs to work on his pitch issues which are becoming a problem for him week after week.

I think unless he hits an awful blunder there is no stopping Clark on his way to victory.
Top 8 Performance Rankings
Wow tonight was full of amazing performances by the original American Idol, Miss Kelly Clarkson who took the stage and slayed the world with her audition song "At Last". Honestly tonight couldn't have been more perfect from almost everyone nailing their performances to Daniel's elimination which has been a long time coming. I am just so proud of all the contestants tonight and I can officially say the competition has begun.
8th: Qaasim Middleton - What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger): Okay there were quite a lot of things I liked about this performance. First Qaasim tried to do something different with the song to suit his lacking voice which was a plus. If he had just kept to the melody that he originally had it would have been just an okay performance. Unfortunately for himself, Qaasim tried to stretch out his voice into ranges he does not have which is what ultimately made this performance a trainwreck. Status: Most likely going home.
7th: Nick Fradiani - Catch My Breath: Nick was not bad by any stretch of the imagination. In fact on a normal night I would have ranked him middle of the pack. Unfortunately for Nick tonight everyone decided to give one of their strongest performances while he gave just an average one. I hope America keeps him around over Qaasim but I'm not holding my breath. Status: Not Safe.
6th: Quentin Alexander - Dark Side: There were parts I loved about this performance and then there were parts where Quentin missed the notes completely. I honestly can say that Quentin yet again brought it for the 3rd week in a row and I am so proud of him for tonight. Status: Not Safe.
5th: Tyanna Jones - Mr. Know It All: Like Quentin, Tyanna had another really good performance but she had some notes of the song where she hit a rough patch in her voice. Her performance however was very emotionally connected which is what I feel put her above Quentin in the sense that I got a feeling of who Tyanna was telling off in the song and that she felt strongly that her bullies didn't know a thing about her. Status: Not Safe.
4th: Joey Cook - Miss Independent: She's baaaaaaaack! This is the Joey I missed so much the innovative thinker who comes up with her own stamp on a classic by any artist. I think Joey has really found her lane and has found what works best for her. If she just stays in that lane until the finale I think she could do extremely well. Status: Safe for the week.
3rd: Rayvon Owen - Since U Been Gone: Welcome back to the competition Rayvon! The vocal on this was so gorgeous that if Daniel had beaten him out in the sing off I would have screamed because I felt every emotion of that song when Rayvon hit the stage to sing for his survival. I am so pleased that America saw what I saw in him tonight which is a guy we haven't seen for quite sometime who is the R&B Male contender for the top but has he come too late? Which is what I asked myself last week when he performed well and he ended up in the bottom 2. I hope he can rank better than that this week but I'm unsure if it will happen. Status: Not Safe.
2nd: Jax - Beautiful Disaster: Losing to Clark by the slightest hair is Jax with another big moment of the season. Her performance was just so gorgeous in it's simplicity. That's what I love the most about Jax is when she keeps it simple it's those performances I feel like I treasure the most because it shows how gorgeous her tone is and what things she can do to standout from the crowd. Tonight was no exception and she was just fantastic. Status: Safe for the week.
1st: Clark Beckham - The Trouble With Love Is: With yet another moment of the season is Clark Beckham who seems to be striking them all out of the park. I am so pleased hearing Clark from week to week. He has yet to really falter and be off. He's had performances where he could do better but I genuinely think he's the only contestant who has yet to falter hard. Status: Safe for the week, moment of the season.

Top 9 Rankings
We said goodbye to Adanna Duru and Maddie Walker, Adanna was gaining so much momentum I'm sad to see her go so soon. Maddie kept falling so it was probably best she left when she did. Anywho here we go with the Top 9 rankings!
9th: Daniel Seavey (+2): This should come as no surprise that Daniel is last again in my rankings, while he did perform a lot better this week, last week was just so awful there is no way, shape, or form that he can surpass the bottom of the pack.
8th: Qaasim Middleton (+2): Eh Qaasim was just so boring this week and brought nothing new to the table so he remains about the same in my rankings. I hope he goes back to his entertaining ways soon otherwise he'll be out faster than he was saved.
7th: Rayvon Owen (+2): Rayvon made some great strides this week with his performance which I was really glad to see him getting back to form. I'm not sure if Rayvon is starting to do well a little too late because I think he may not be able to save himself in a competition as cutthroat as this season.
6th: Joey Cook (-2): This week was the week that wasn't for Joey. Her last few performances have been so stellar and this week she just fell short of the high standard that she has set for herself. I think she really needs to watch her song choices and just make sure she gets everybody on board because I feel she's just a love them or hate them contestant and I'd hate to see her gone so soon based on bad song choices.
5th: Tyanna Jones (+1): She's baaaaaaaack! I was so glad to see Tyanna return to form this week with her performance. While it wasn't perfect it was a start to avoid last week's horror show. I hope Tyanna keeps being smart about her song choices and continues to nail them from week to week. I feel like now that the R&B diva lane is cleared she will have no problem sailing through to the semifinals.
4th: Quentin Alexander (+3): For two weeks in a row I have been so blown away by Quentin's breath taking performances and I am so proud to see how far this wildcard has come. He has been winning me over week in and week out lately. I hope he keeps up this momentum because he may just knock out a few front runners along the way if he does.
3rd: Nick Fradiani (-): Nick had yet another great week this week, for the first time I truly felt connected to Nick and the lyrics of the song. I also felt like he was truly fighting for his spot in the Top 9 which is always great to see. I really am hoping that he keeps this up and can make it all the way to the final 3.
2nd: Jax (-1): I hate bringing her down after having the first moment of the season but Clark had the second moment of the season because he performed after her. This week for Jax was just pure perfection and it just made me excited for her again like her audition. I really hope she can keep surprising us with her incredible performances because I feel if she does this from week to week, she could quite possibly win.
1st: Clark Beckham (+1): CLARK IS IN IT TO WIN IT!!! Just kidding. Gosh I hated when Randy kept saying that in Season 10. Anyway this week Clark just provided us with the most gorgeous moment of the season with just him and the piano singing "Every Breath You Take". This took me back to House Of Blues when he sang "Georgia On My Mind" and just what a huge moment that was for him. I am just really hoping that he can keep these incredible performances coming because I'm loving every second of it!
9th: Daniel Seavey (+2): This should come as no surprise that Daniel is last again in my rankings, while he did perform a lot better this week, last week was just so awful there is no way, shape, or form that he can surpass the bottom of the pack.8th: Qaasim Middleton (+2): Eh Qaasim was just so boring this week and brought nothing new to the table so he remains about the same in my rankings. I hope he goes back to his entertaining ways soon otherwise he'll be out faster than he was saved.7th: Rayvon Owen (+2): Rayvon made some great strides this week with his performance which I was really glad to see him getting back to form. I'm not sure if Rayvon is starting to do well a little too late because I think he may not be able to save himself in a competition as cutthroat as this season.6th: Joey Cook (-2): This week was the week that wasn't for Joey. Her last few performances have been so stellar and this week she just fell short of the high standard that she has set for herself. I think she really needs to watch her song choices and just make sure she gets everybody on board because I feel she's just a love them or hate them contestant and I'd hate to see her gone so soon based on bad song choices.5th: Tyanna Jones (+1): She's baaaaaaaack! I was so glad to see Tyanna return to form this week with her performance. While it wasn't perfect it was a start to avoid last week's horror show. I hope Tyanna keeps being smart about her song choices and continues to nail them from week to week. I feel like now that the R&B diva lane is cleared she will have no problem sailing through to the semifinals.4th: Quentin Alexander (+3): For two weeks in a row I have been so blown away by Quentin's breath taking performances and I am so proud to see how far this wildcard has come. He has been winning me over week in and week out lately. I hope he keeps up this momentum because he may just knock out a few front runners along the way if he does.3rd: Nick Fradiani (-): Nick had yet another great week this week, for the first time I truly felt connected to Nick and the lyrics of the song. I also felt like he was truly fighting for his spot in the Top 9 which is always great to see. I really am hoping that he keeps this up and can make it all the way to the final 3.2nd: Jax (-1): I hate bringing her down after having the first moment of the season but Clark had the second moment of the season because he performed after her. This week for Jax was just pure perfection and it just made me excited for her again like her audition. I really hope she can keep surprising us with her incredible performances because I feel if she does this from week to week, she could quite possibly win.1st: Clark Beckham (+1): CLARK IS IN IT TO WIN IT!!! Just kidding. Gosh I hated when Randy kept saying that in Season 10. Anyway this week Clark just provided us with the most gorgeous moment of the season with just him and the piano singing "Every Breath You Take". This took me back to House Of Blues when he sang "Georgia On My Mind" and just what a huge moment that was for him. I am just really hoping that he can keep these incredible performances coming because I'm loving every second of it!
