American Idol - the odds have changed

Tonight we will see the final four singers from the American Idol season six perform, trying to avoid elimination tomorrow.

The final four are Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks, Lakisha Jones and Melinda Doolittle with the mentor this week - Barry Gibb.

The betting odds have changed since yesterday, although Lakisha Jones is still the least favorite to win the American Idol with odds now 14/1, a change from yesterdays 12/1 (betting odds by Bodog). Jordin Sparks still has the hearts of the bookmakers, her odds stable at 1/1. The betting odds to win the Idol this year for Blake Lewis are unchanged at 7/2, but Melinda Doolittle shows improvement, her odds changing from 7/5 to 6/5. It seems that the online betting websites we have checked have their final two picks - Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolitle. This comes to no ones surprise, as those to singers have been the most consistent in their stage performance and singing.

Lakisha Jones had some great moments, and took the breath away from both judges and the public two weeks ago, but her inconsistency could give here the ticket out on Wednesday. Lakisha, 27, is from Fort Meade, MD and she says that her favorite artist is Kelly Clarkson. She started singing when she was 5 years old and has a formal training in opera and always puts here family first. She auditioned for the American Idol in New York City. Betting odds to win the Idol: 14/1. making her the underdog in the show.

Jordin Sparks is the youngest contestant left on the American Idol, 17 years old. She is from Glendale, AZ and her favorite singer is Justin Timberlake. Jordin does not have formal singing training, but she says she can do accents quite well, and her favorite judge on American Idol is surprisingly Simon. She is the favorite to win the American Idol with odds 1/1.
