Top 8 EW Power Rankings

Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert remain at the 4th and 1st places, respectively, on this week's Entertainment Weekly power rankings. Here's what EW had to say:

4. Danny Gokey: (Last week: No. 4) The judges went back to their knee-jerk praise after his heartfelt but overbaked "What Hurts the Most." And while the polarizing personality hasn't missed many notes in the competition -- save for those so-so verses in "Jesus Take the Wheel" -- he needs to realize not every song should be driven like a Monster Truck rumbling through a rowdy arena. A little originality in his song arrangements wouldn't hurt, either.

1. Adam Lambert: (Last week: No. 1) Riding so high that he manages to look cool (and maintain his top slot) even after choosing Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music." Would love to see him dial it back and give viewers a second glance at the emotionally connected artist who gave us that devastating cover of "Tracks of My Tears," but let's be honest: he could probably belt "Macarena" and still sail through to the finale.
