‘American Idol’ top 3 rankings: Will Angie Miller, Candice Glover, or Kree Harrison win?
While the “American Idol” top 3 are all visiting their hometowns this weekend, they also have their work cut out for them. There are three songs that they must memorize before the finale, and they have to do so on little sleep while dealing with thousands upon thousands of screaming fans vying for their attention.
Trying to rank these three at this stage of the competition may actually be one of the biggest challenges the show has faced yet. All three ladies are quite frankly great, though they are great at very different things. We have a soulful powerhouse, a contemporary Christian pop / rock type, and a country crooner with a passion for storytelling. It’s hard to know who has the capacity to win, but we should find out pretty soon.
All three are amazing, so at this point we’re just judging our rankings solely on who we feel as the greatest chances of actually winning this whole competition.
3. Kree Harrison (last week: 2) – Even though she really dives into the music quite possibly more than any of the ladies remaining, she somehow still does not get so into the story that she forgets how to perform. On paper, she has everything a potential winner needs: Great talent, a likable personality, and originality with her performances. The one thing holding her back, sadly is something out of her control and that’s screen time. All season long, Candice and Angie have been more consistently promoted by the show, and while we did have an all-country final two back in 2011, both Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina were constantly pumped out all season long.
2. Candice Glover (3) – We would personally pick Candice to win, just for the sake of her overall body of work. While “Love Song” may be the performance she is remembered for, there have been numerous extremely strong nights for her. Even when a song choice (“Find Your Love”) is not perfect, she is still artistic enough with it to earn major props over some of the other contestants this season. Plus, she has one of the best voices that we have literally ever heard. As angry as we were at “American Idol” last year for cutting her, we’re now so grateful that they did because she was able to come back much stronger this year.
1. Angie Miller (1) – The interesting irony here is that while Angie has had highs in this competition that have been just as strong as Candice’s, she has also had lower lows (like with “Shop Around.”) She may be the most inconsistent of the remaining three, but she also has the best overall track record behind her. She has never landed in the bottom two, appeals to much of the show’s core faith-based demographic, and she also has an emotional undercurrent thanks to being from a Boston suburb. (Note that we’re not trying to trivialize anything that happened there, but just pointing out its impact on the competition.)
We typically like to think that we are very accurate with our predictions, but the honest truth this time around is that anything could really happen, and we’re thrilled about it.

Angie miller is obviously the best on american idol. She has never been in the bottom two and she’s gonna win. 1. She clearly has the most followers on twitter which is kinda saying she’s the fan favorite. 2. She’s never been in the bottom two. 3. She’s current. 4. She’s an artist, she writes songs, plays piano, and sings. 5. She is also the most humble person in the world I promise you! Now this list could go on forget but I think I made it pretty clear who’s gonna win.

Candice writes her own songs too. Angie sounds just like every single young girl on the radio right now. She is talented, that’s not to be disputed, but she is not the best on the show. When has any bloggers or the big networks ever talked about any of her performances? Who has all the A-Listers talking about their talent on twitter and blogs and television? Candice. She has the most talent on that show and she probably won’t win because the rightful winners never do.

If she doesn’t win it’ll be because she’s not the type of music the music industries are looking for. And if Angie wins it will be the rightful winner, any of these girls would but Angie has worked the hardest. And she does not sound like every other young girl on the radio. She is was better and she’s inspiring and she’s humble. Not to mention that she has dealt with being partially deaf her whole like with 20% hearing lose in her right ear and 40 in her left, and she can sing. She has to work hard to hear the music and she never uses her hearing lose as an excuse. She deserves to win hands down

Also, if Angie wins, it WILL be because she sounds exactly like everyone else in the industry right now. IDK how you figure she works harder than anyone else in the competition. This is Candices third time trying out and its her time.

And if you pay attention lots of big people have talked about her performances and her song she wrote has hit over 3.7 million views on YouTube. Ill just be sitting at home laughing at you when she wins and not Candice. Because Candice is not what people want in the music industry

angie may be good at singing, but kree and candice actually put their emotions into it and feel the words they’re saying. angie just sings whatever.. and just pointing out angie never being in the bottom two doesn’t mean anything. there have been many idol finalists who were in the bottom..

They’re not putting her in the bottom two to mess with the voters. They’re putting her there because that’s how the voting worked and that’s where she was placed. Also you are saying that Kree’s kindness shows through, what about Angie? I’ve never seen her not be nice. Kree was in the bottom two because that’s how she was ranked. Not because they’re messing with you

If you’re talking about last week you’re wrong. If you pay attention to Ryan he either says this is your bottom 2/3 or he doesn’t. The Bottom or top 2/3 isn’t announced every week. They did the same thing last year with Philip and Hollie at top 4. I think it was because showing Joshua in the bottom 2 would have been too predictable and putting Phillip there was more dramatic. Everyone expected to see Candice there last week and putting Kree there made a better TV moment.

Kree landed in the bottom one time, and I think it was due to voters being over confident and either not voting or splitting their votes trying to save Janelle. Similar to what happened last season with Jessica Sanchez and Colton Dixon. Like Kree they had been in the top 2/3 every week that a top 2/3 had been revealed, and just as suddenly, they landed in the bottom. I suspect Kree was in the top 2 last week because Ryan didn’t reveal the ranking. Her supposed down slide or “trouble connecting” has been manufactured or at least exaggerated by the judges/producers. If you throw out her single b2 showing she remains the only contestant to have been in the top 2/3 every week.

Agree, however, Amber was in the bottom 5 times this season & the one week that her & Janelle were in the bottom, it was American Idol that put KREE HARRISON there to confuse voters! Kree has been Top 3 now 4 times & Top2 3 times! The other night, RYAN SEACREST said here are your TOP3 “In NO PARTICULAR ORDER!” However, again American Idol stuck Kree next to the bottom girl again to mess with voters heads! This is the crap American IDOL continually pulls! KREE HARRISON has the best singing voice & as Keith Urban mentioned on this past Thursday night “What people like about Kree is her being consistent” you bet it is Keith because KREE HARRISON is the most consistent of any of the girls this season & especially this TOP3! KREE HARRISON is the NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!

When Kree and Janelle were bottom 2 Ryan Said Bottom 2, last week he didn’t say top or bottom, and that’s why I think on the Janelle week she actually was. But either way she shouldn’t have been. Personally I think Kree has been #1 every week except the week with Janelle and I think she’s going to win. They’re all great singers but a lot of people can see what a kind and genuine person she is and that goes a long way with voters. Kree also has cross over appeal and more and more mainstream Country fans are probably hearing about her and tuning in.
