IDOL LIVE predix: Top 4 Results

It seems like the only thing people care to discuss about last night's Top 4 performances is Danny's ear-splitting "Dream On" scream, which comes as no surprise. But it is important to recognize that there are quite a few other factors that will play into how tonight's results play out.

First, here is how tonight will most likely go results-wise:

Bottom 2
>Danny, Kris

Eliminated
>Kris

The reason I have Kris going home instead of Danny is because a Top 4 "shocker" would be too predictable at this point. Even though the judges could claim it as a shocker since they were not so hard on him last night, everyone would see right through it. Therefore, it would make more sense to hang on to Danny until next week, when they cut him loose for a "battle of the rockers" at the finale.

Kris has been a middling finisher each week, landing in the Bottom 3 a few times and never really delivering a showstopper, though he has had some great vocal performances for sure. Therefore, it would make more sense for him to leave tonight and would make the judges look like they were spot on with their critiques.

Allison's name has been tossed around a few times as a possible candidate to leave tonight, but there is no real reason she should thanks to her duet with Adam to close last night's show. If she did go, that would be more of a shock than Danny leaving.

But you can never underestimate the power of an energized, hungry fan base, and that is something Kris has proven to have over the course of this season. If Danny does go, it will not be unexpected and it might calm things down some considering how hated he seems to be by the online community, so there are strong collections of evidence to support either result.

In my original predictions before the Top 13 took the stage I had Anoop going home, so I was two spots off on that call.

Last week was the only time he was in the bottom 3 right?

I think all 3 Allison, Kris and Danny are in danger tonight and anyone could go home. Allison's fans might get complacent though.
