Idol Pool Standings Week 4

Just a very hot small town girl who is now taking the midnight train goin' anywhere but American Idol-land.

Someone other than Megan will win. Unskilled singers like Megan will lose. She was never born to sing the blues.

Why did she act like a chicken while moving to the bottom 3?

American Idol Viewer's Guide - iTunes Top 100 & The Test!

Shirtless Kris Allen jumps right into the Idol Pool!


Now that Michael Sarver has finally gotten the boot (possibly NSFW), it's time to turn our attention to iTunes Top 100 week! Unfortunately, your Idol Pool Master doesn't listen to music that isn't recorded by past or present American Idol contestants. That means that except for Carrie Underwood's two songs on the Top 100 (I Told You So and Home Sweet Home) and Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You (which Allison would be crazy not to sing) I really don't have much to say about this week's choices.

That leaves me time to test out a theory that I've been trying out lately. Reading through the blog and talking to our interns here at Idol Headquarters, I've come to believe that there are only three types of people in the world: Danny Gorkey people, Adam Lambert people, and Megan Corkery people. That's it. Don't get me wrong. I know there are more Lil fans than Megan fans out there. For that matter, there were more Alexis fans than Megan fans. But give me a break: Lil is a poor man's LaToya London, and LaToya was only the THIRD best singer in her year. And after "Jolene", I hardly think that any Alexis Grace fans are going to write in to say that there are actually four types of people in the world. Danny, Adam, and Megan are the only three this year who are different enough to be not only contestants, but lifestyle choices.

Now being a Danny, Adam, or Megan person involves more than being a fan. It doesn't even require that you picked them to win. It's more like being a cat person, or a Sagittarius. It's a way of life.

So which are you? To figure that out, our research department has developed the following quiz. The instructions are easy: for each of the following questions, pick the answer that best fits you and keep track of your answers!

1. If I were to visit New York City, I would want to go to:
A) a Broadway show
B) a concert in Williamsburg or the Lower East Side
C) Ground Zero

2. Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man of Mine is:
A) A Hammerstein/Kern classic
B) One of Bjork's best covers
C) spelled wrong

3. Megan Joy Corkery:
A) took "For Once in My Life" too fast
B) has rocket boobs
C) has overcome obstacles as a single mom

4. I dislike this singer/group the most:
A) James Taylor
B) Celine Dion
C) Abba

5. My dream vacation would be to:
A) Ibiza
B) Canada
C) Disneyworld

6. Adam Lambert is:
A) creative
B) crazy
C) scary

7. My favorite movie is:
A) Gone with the Wind
B) Juno
C) Titanic

8. How often do you go to gay bars?
A) There are other types of bars?
B) Occasionally, when a friend of mine is going to one.
C) Never. But I might be a little curious.

9. Danny Gokey is:
A) good in his upper register
B) predictable at times
C) going to rock Huey Lewis week

10. Ideal evening:
A) Concert and late-night diner run
B) Bike ride (motor or dirt)
C) Babysitting nephews/nieces

If you haven't figured out the scoring system already, it's easy: just total up the number of A's, B's, and C's you have. If you have mostly A's, you're an Adamite. B's you're a Corkerian. C's you're Dannish. Congratulations! And be sure to tell us your type in the comments section!


Contrary to conventional wisdom, the life preserver proves that Seacrest is Dannish.


There's no doubt Paula's an Adamite.


I have no idea what this picture says about where Randy Jackson would fall into the 3 categories. However, I do know this - he has problems reading the number '6'.
