Hannah Harper is back on top following Monday’s episode of American Idol — but Keyla Richardson and Jordan McCullough aren’t making it easy for the bluegrass singer.

Hannah led our fan poll with 35.4% after performing “Mean” and “That’s the Way Love Goes,” marking her sixth week at No. 1. It’s a strong showing, but not the runaway we’ve seen in past weeks, with Keyla finishing second at 21.5% for “Lover” and “I’d Rather Go Blind,” and Jordan close behind at 19.4% for “Tim McGraw” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” At this point, it’s clearly a three-person race heading into the final stretch.

And if last week proved anything, it’s just how competitive this season really is. After we published those “Disney Night” results, a late surge flipped the standings — with Jordan ultimately taking the top spot, Keyla close behind, and Hannah slipping to third — marking the first real shake-up at the top in weeks. This time around, though, Hannah has taken control again.

After that, there’s a noticeable drop-off. Braden Rumfelt lands in fourth with 15.9% for “Cardigan” and “This Love,” while Chris Tungseth trails with 7.8% for “Exile” and “What Was I Made For?”

Monday also brought big eliminations, and once again, our poll was close — but not perfect. Daniel Stallworth ranked near the bottom and went home as expected, but while we predicted Chris would join him, it was Brooks who was ultimately sent packing.

So what does this week tell us? Hannah looks like she’s still the one to beat, while Keyla continues to hold strong as a consistent No. 2 and Jordan’s steady rise — including last week’s surge — keeps him firmly in the mix as we head toward the finale.

As for the bottom, the picture is getting clearer. With Brooks and Daniel gone, Braden and Chris look the most vulnerable heading into the final rounds — and could be the last two eliminated before the May 11 finale.
