There are just two episodes left until the\u00a0American Idol<\/em>\u00a0finale. Following the\u00a0April 27 episode, just five artists are left.\u00a0Brooks Rosser\u00a0and\u00a0Daniel Stallworth\u00a0were eliminated after the Top 7 performed, and now the pressure is on the Top 5 to make the finale.<\/p>\n

The decision about which two singers get sent home and which three make the Finals is in America\u2019s hands. Viewers have been voting for their favorites via text, the\u00a0American Idol<\/em>\u00a0website, and on social media since the Live Shows began on March 30. Each week, the contestants with the lowest amount of votes\u00a0are sent home, and this will continue in the final two episodes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s impossible to know exactly how viewers will vote, there are some indicators that can help us predict who will likely make it past the next round (and maybe even win) the competition.<\/p>\n

For years, all of the contestants\u2019 performances have been uploaded to the official\u00a0American Idol<\/em>\u00a0YouTube\u00a0account after each episode airs, and those that rack up more views tend to line up with the singers who receive a lot of votes and continue to move forward. Artists with more of a presence on social media (i.e. more Instagram followers) are also likely to pull in more votes. Of course, this isn\u2019t always the case, as was seen with\u00a0Kyndal Inskeep\u2019s\u00a0recent\u00a0elimination.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

However, based on information from performance views and social media, which can obviously change throughout the week, we\u2019ve rounded up our predictions for the Top 5, including who seems most likely to win at this time. Scroll down to check out our ranking of the remaining artists and hop into the comments section to let us know who you\u2019re rooting for to win!<\/p>\n
