How in the world Megan Joy found herself on the list is beyond me. I&#8217;ll continue to say that little Alexis Grace (right) is much sexier than Megan Joy and they could have put her in this top 40, especially after her &#8220;Dirty Diana&#8221; performance.</p>
<p>I wonder what Simon would say: He&#8217;s not on the list!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally, we have a top 5! Here are my ratings of the remaining singers (Last week’s ranking is in parenthesis):  <span id="more-610"></span><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-123" title="TV American Idol 36" src="http://www.blogs.dixcdn.com/idolthoughts/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/lambert-adam-color1-144x150.jpg" alt="TV American Idol 36" width="42" height="43" /><strong>1. </strong><em>(1)</em> <strong>Adam Lambert </strong>- I nearly put Kris Allen here at No. 1, but didn&#8217;t think Adam did anything to warrant a removal from the top spot.  <img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-128" title="TV American Idol 36" src="http://www.blogs.dixcdn.com/idolthoughts/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/allen-kris-color-144x150.jpg" alt="TV American Idol 36" width="37" height="38" /><strong>2.</strong> <em>(4) </em><strong>Kris Allen</strong> &#8211; His performance on Tuesday puts him near No. 1 for me. I watched it two more times after Tuesday and both times I found something different I liked about how he changed the song.  <img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-130" title="TV American Idol 36" src="http://www.blogs.dixcdn.com/idolthoughts/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/iraheta-allison-color-144x150.jpg" alt="TV American Idol 36" width="40" height="43" /><strong>3.</strong> <em>(2)</em> <strong>Allison Iraheta</strong> &#8211; The only reason she drops is because Kris Allen was so spectacular. I&#8217;m baffled why Miss Red Head continues to find herself on the &#8220;Bottom 3&#8243; chair, though. Vote, people! Vote for Allison!  <img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-126" title="TV American Idol 36" src="http://www.blogs.dixcdn.com/idolthoughts/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gokey-daniel-color-144x150.jpg" alt="TV American Idol 36" width="38" height="38" /><strong>4.</strong> <em>(3)</em> <strong>Danny Gokey</strong>- He is in danger now of becoming eliminated. I think he has some life yet, due to the fact that Allison and Matt have both been in the Bottom 3 several times; but he&#8217;s going to have to come out blazin&#8217; on Tuesday with a &#8220;moment&#8221; week.  <img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-132" title="TV American Idol 36" src="http://www.blogs.dixcdn.com/idolthoughts/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/giraud-matt-color-144x150.jpg" alt="TV American Idol 36" width="39" height="41" /><strong>5.</strong> <em>(5)</em> <strong>Matt Giraud</strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m glad Matt stayed on this week after receiving a &#8220;Judges Save&#8221; two weeks ago. Hopefully he&#8217;ll come back strong and &#8220;Wow&#8221; the judges and voters one more time &#8230; but don&#8217;t bank on it.  <strong>Out.</strong> <em>Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai </em> Post your comments and also vote below?</p>
