\"American<\/p>\n

Hannah Harper\u00a0is back on top following\u00a0Monday\u2019s episode of\u00a0American Idol<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 but\u00a0Keyla Richardson\u00a0and\u00a0Jordan McCullough\u00a0aren\u2019t making it easy for the bluegrass singer.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hannah led our fan poll with 35.4% after performing \u201cMean\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s the Way Love Goes,\u201d marking her sixth week at No. 1. It\u2019s a strong showing, but not the runaway we\u2019ve seen in past weeks, with Keyla finishing second at 21.5% for \u201cLover\u201d and \u201cI\u2019d Rather Go Blind,\u201d and Jordan close behind at 19.4% for \u201cTim McGraw\u201d and \u201cI Can\u2019t Make You Love Me.\u201d At this point, it\u2019s clearly a three-person race heading into the final stretch.<\/p>\n

\"American<\/p>\n

And if last week proved anything, it\u2019s just how competitive this season really is. After\u00a0we published those \u201cDisney Night\u201d results, a late surge flipped the standings \u2014 with Jordan ultimately taking the top spot, Keyla close behind, and Hannah slipping to third \u2014 marking the first real shake-up at the top in weeks. This time around, though, Hannah has taken control again.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After that, there\u2019s a noticeable drop-off. Braden Rumfelt lands in fourth with 15.9% for \u201cCardigan\u201d and \u201cThis Love,\u201d while Chris Tungseth trails with 7.8% for \u201cExile\u201d and \u201cWhat Was I Made For?\u201d<\/p>\n

Monday also brought big eliminations, and once again, our poll was close \u2014 but not perfect. Daniel Stallworth ranked near the bottom and went home as expected, but while we predicted Chris would join him, it was Brooks who was ultimately sent packing.<\/p>\n

So what does this week tell us? Hannah looks like she\u2019s still the one to beat, while Keyla continues to hold strong as a consistent No. 2 and Jordan\u2019s steady rise \u2014 including last week\u2019s surge \u2014 keeps him firmly in the mix as we head toward the finale.<\/p>\n

\"Ryan<\/p>\n

As for the bottom, the picture is getting clearer. With Brooks and Daniel gone, Braden and Chris look the most vulnerable heading into the final rounds \u2014 and could be the last two eliminated before the May 11 finale.<\/p>\n

Do you agree with these rankings? Who\u2019s peaking at the right time \u2014 and who\u2019s in danger next? Sound off in the comments and make your predictions in\u00a0Gold Derby\u2019s predictions center.<\/p>\n
