We are fresh out the first and second elimination of American Idol 10, and while a little time ago we posted where to follow each American Idol finalist on Twitter, I made a theory about Twitter predicting American Idol´s winner and eliminations.
Last time, when Twitter predicted Karen going, Y told you Naima, Jacob and Haley should perform better on stage and on Twitter to save themselves. Well, Haley had the bigger growth out of all the contestants. Naima had all the praises from the judges, and Jacob had the Steven Tyler kiss. That sure helped them.
But what happened? Stefano Langone, Thia Megia and Casey Abrams bottom three? Well, taking apart that growth from the suspected bottom three, Stefano was the next in line in terms of followers and had bad criticism about connection with the audience, and both Thia and Casey had the lowest percentage growth from week to week.
But definitely Casey being out I didn´t see it coming, and much less the judges decision!
So, how do they stand now?

As it seems now, it´s not only to have a big Twitter following, but to keep growing it! Take notice Scotty McCreery, you are the clear frontrunner, but you need to keep it up, after all, Casey was second to you!
What do you think? Can Twitter predict American Idol results? What else can it predict?
