American Idol: Prediction Poll - Results for May 10, 2012

Here are the results of our Prediction Poll for the Results Show on May 10, 2012.  In our poll, Phillip Phillips remains our leader.  Surprisingly, in some ways, the other three contestants are bunched up together, almost tied for second -- or last place -- depending on how you look at it.  Hollie & Jessica were tied, with Joshua just a touch behind...  We'll label the American Idol Final Four as follows:

• 1. Phillip
• 3a. Jessica
• 3a. Hollie
• 3b. Joshua.  

American Idol 2012 (Vote in our 5/10 Prediction Poll)

Someone had to go: it's part of the show...  But we liked Skylar...  Happily, she should have a good career in music as a modern country music gal with rock 'n' roll blood.

Our Prediction Poll was correct, although we were mildly surprised to see Hollie in the bottom two.  Hollie has been performing well, but American Idol IS a popularity contest to some degree.  

Please continue to vote in our Prediction Poll and we will publish results as the show progresses.  The Prediction Poll has a fairly decent track record over the years!
