Who Will Win ‘American Idol’? Ranking the Top 11’s Chances
American Idol‘s third season at ABC and 18th overall is getting much closer to unveiling their champion, as the Top 11 battle it out in the coming episodes.
In a time where self-promotion could mean the different between moving forward and striking out of the competition, this year’s batch of contestants are varied in their possible chances for success.
