David Cook by Frank Micelotta/Fox
This could become like a ping-pong match, folks. The lead in TVGuide.com's Idol Power Rankings changed again this week, as Davids Cook and Archuleta traded places. Fueled by his show-stopping delivery of "Billie Jean," Cook commanded 48.1 percent of our readers' votes, while Archuleta slid back to a mere 18.7 percent. But has a third horse entered this race? Making significant strides this week was Michael Johns, who at No. 3 hit his highest spot in a month.
Among the ladies, it's BAU, with Brooke and Carly at Nos. 4 and 5, and KLC, Ramiele and Syesha occupying the bottom three spaces.
