American Idol Season 10: Ranking the Top 5 finalists

American Idol Season 10 is now down to its Top 5 finalists after judges' favorite Casey Abrams was eliminated last Thursday.

With Abrams elimination, judges' decision to use their one-time "save" vote for Abrams during the Top 11 eliminations has been put to waste.

But at least, he was able to reach this far.

Casey Abrams was among those finalists this season who gave consistently good performances.

On Mykiru's weekly ranking, he was ranked #1 twice, but that was during the first weeks.

Recently he has been losing momentum and his elimination was actually not as surprising as Pia Toscano's elimination, but he was still among the best and 1 or 2 of the Top 5 remaining finalists should have been eliminated ahead of him.

Here's Mykiru's updated ranking for the remaining Top 5 finalists of American Idol Season 10 (James Durbin still the top choice, Haley Reinhart goin' up!)


1. James Durbin (Previous ranks: #7, #5, #2, #1)


2. Scotty McCreery (Previous ranks: #4, #3, #7, #4)


3. Haley Reinhart (Previous ranks: #11, #8, #11, #6)


4. Lauren Alaina (Previous ranks: #3, #2, #8, #3)


5. Jacob Lusk (Previous ranks: #6, #7, #6, #7)
