OK, America, this is easy

As confusing as it is for picking the top six guys on American Idol - as unfortunate as it is that Sanjaya and Sundance are likely going to make it through, it's not like the other guys have done much to distance themselves - it is very easy to pick the six women. You've got five - Melinda, LaKisha, Jordin, Sabrina, and Stephanie - who are clearly above the other three.

So that leaves one spot. For that you have Antonella, Haley, and Gina. Antonella's deficiencies as a singer have been well documented. Haley is the female version of Nick Pedro - assuming you can remember him (or her). Gina, while not possessing the greatest range, at least tries to sing songs that give a sense of who she is. When choosing between a human and two automatons (one of Antonella or Haley actually said singing was like clocking in and out of a job, it's hard to tell which one as I actually think they're two sides of the same person, like some freaky Face/Off variant), pick the human.

That being said, I have a bad feeling that we're going to be stuck with Antonella in the finals. My picks for the boot are Haley and... Stephanie. I know, I said she was better, but I don't think she stands out enough in that top group, while each of the three in the bottom group have a niche.
