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.
