There's only five weeks left of the show you love to hate, and the Bodog Sportsbook has tons of betting props to get you excited about the big finale.
After weeks of two hour episodes of less than stellar performances, American Idol has been whittled down to six remaining contestants. Here, we run down the odds that each Idol hopeful actually has of winning the show:
Carly Smithson – Odds to win: 50/1
Carly, the tattooed Irish lass from San Diego, Calif., comes in at 50/1 odds of finding that lucky four-leaf clover and winning Season 7. Why? It definitely isn’t because she doesn't have a decent voice. With a Celine Dion-style belting range, Carly definitely has the chops. Her problem? She can't seem to pick a song that gives her a "wow" moment, as Randy has said repeatedly each week. So far, Carly’s highlights have been the Beatles' classic "Come Together," Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" and Heart's "Crazy On You." If Carly doesn't figure out a "wow" song, she might be seeing the axe in the next two weeks. However, if she can surpass the show's other belting queen, Syesha Mercado, you might want to take Carly as a long shot, because audiences might finally notice Carly's talented vocal ability and vote her the winner.
