American Idol: Jordin Sparks still favorite to win

After the American Idol Final Four performance last night, today will be the day to count the votes and find out who will be eliminated.

American Idol: Jordin Sparks still favorite to win The people have spoken today. All over the Internet you will find plenty of disappointed folks. Many believe that last night's American Idol contenders made their worst performances ever. Or it could be that the songs of Barry Gibb just weren't their cup of tea? Either way, we stopped by the online betting website Bodog to see if there was a movement at the American Idol betting odds.

And yes, the bad songs we heard last night just made Jordin Sparks (singing “To Love Somebody” and “Woman in Love”) odds to win the Idol even better - 10/11. Jordin has been more steady in her performace from the very beginning of the American Idol, and the "no-kiss" singing by LaKisha Jones yesterday may cost her the chance to continue tonight to the semifinals. Lakisha Jones performed the songs “Stayin’ Alive” and “Run to Me” and her betting odds continue to be the worst - 14/1.

Melinda Doolittle, who sang “Love You Inside and Out” and “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”, continues to hold on to the second-favorite spot in the heart of the bookmakers with odds stabile at 6/5. Blake Lewis would pay $7 to every $2 bet on him if he wins the American Idol, and many people are positive that we will see at least a man and a woman on the finals.

The American Idol elimination results will be announced tonight on Fox. Who will get voted off American Idol?
