Poll of the week: Andrew, Katie favorite Top 24 semifinalists among respective sexes

The two semifinalists that received the most votes in the most recent edition of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week coincidentally were also the two contestants that performed last on their respective performance nights.

Leading among the guys was Andrew Garcia with 22 votes (33%), while Katie Stevens helmed the girls' top spot with 18 votes (30%). They also seem to be the two front runners among their respective genders, so it should be interesting to see if their statuses are reflected in the voting here in the coming weeks.

Other strong finishes for the week for the guys were Casey James (14 votes, 21%) and Aaron Kelly (7 votes, 10%), while Crystal Bowersox (12 votes, 20%) and Didi Benami (11 votes, 18%) rounded out the Top 3 for the girls.

In the latest edition of the poll of the week series, readers are asked of who their favorite male and female Top 20 contestants are. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
