1 of 11 Michael Becker/Fox

Haley Reinhart

Haley holds steady in last place, despite the judges saying she had a return to form last week. She proved she has soul with "You Really Got a Hold on Me," but has her growly delivery already turned off too many voters?

Naima Adedapo (tie)

Naima delivered much improved vocals during "Dancing in the Streets," but that still wasn't enough to get viewers voting in her favor. At this point, what does she have to do?

Stefano Langone (tie)

Just like the judges, voters failed to connect with Stefano's over-the-top performance of "Hello."
4 of 11 Michael Becker/Fox

Thia Megia

Thia fell in our poll this week, despite her decision &mdash finally — to wake up and go with a more upbeat tune. Her performance of "Heat Wave" was good, but she's going to have to bring the heat tenfold if she really wants to be taken seriously.

Paul McDonald (tie)

Paul rose ever so slightly this week. Now that he's recovered from the flu, he needs to turn his attention to breaking out of his comfort zone and showing the judges something different.

Lauren Alaina (tie)

Lauren delivered one of her strongest performances thus far with "You Keep Me Hangin' On," but failed to move up significantly in our poll. Has the early shine from her audition rounds worn off? Or did her head- and neck-snapping just scare too many voters away?

Jacob Lusk

A little vocal restraint went a long way for Jacob, who made the biggest leap of the week in our poll. Was his flawless performance of "You're All I Need to Get By" enough to move back to the top with viewers? Only time, and hugs, will tell.

Casey Abrams

Depending on how you look at it, Casey is singing on borrowed time. Viewers didn't vote for him, but the judges used their only save to keep him in the competition. (His look of shock will go down in Idol history.) He still has the support of our readers, as he remains near the top of our rankings.

Scotty McCreery

Scotty really struggled to "countrify" Motown. But you'd never know it, based on his continued popularity in our Power Rankings. How far will his fan base take him?

James Durbin

James' surprising ability to make different genres work for his voice has helped him climb to the runner-up position, his highest ranking yet. Is he the only one who might challenge Pia?

b>1. Pia Toscano

Another week, another powerhouse (if predictable) performance from Pia. Our voters remain in her corner, as she tops our Power Rankings for the third straight week. Can anyone stop her?
