With the latest season of American Idol all but over, the Top 4 are pulling out all the stops to clench the still-coveted Idol title.

Last night’s episode saw contestants Joshua Ledet and Jessica Sanchez shine bright and shine loud. Indeed, like the mail-man, these two always deliver.

Watch Ledet tackle ‘It’s A Man’s World’ above, and 16 year old Sanchez belt Dreamgirls classic ‘And I Am Telling You’ below…

Needless to say, either of these would make fitting winners. And, if handled correctly, could restore some post-show credibility to the Idol brand. The show has run entirely too long for the only “relevant” names to be Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, and Carrie Underwood.

Who do you think should win?

Don’t call it a comeback, they’ve been here for years! Tamara (Taj) Johnson, Cheryl (Coko) Clemons and Leanne (Lelee) Lyons are SWV. They’re back and better than ever with their eyes set on reigniting R&B diminished spark.

Modern day R&B icons for their lush harmonies, slow-jam classics, and Coko‘s infamous nails, this Grammy Award-winning trio holds the title as one of the world’s best-selling girl groups of all time. With 90’s standards like ‘Weak’, ‘I’m So Into You’, and ‘Downtown’, it’s no wonder why they’ve been able to survive the test of time, as true talent never dies.

After a fifteen year break-up, SWV is ready to press on with a follow up to ‘I Missed Us’‘s first single ‘Co-Sign’–while label politics always plays a role, fan input is nevertheless just as important. Lets review the prospects after the jump and sound-off below.
