Videos of the Top 5 this week.

Here are examples of the girls' talents this week, in no particular order. You know - I don't think it matters now who wins. There is something special about each one. Definitely a year to remember. American Idol seems not to produce winners nowadays who set a new style or race up international charts but there have been notable runners-up, 3rd, 4th and 5th place artists who have made a wider impression, as I hope some of these will do in years to come.

For now, we can just sit back and enjoy the ride for the next few weeks, knowing that the performances will be rehearsed, in tune and genuinely entertaining, albeit in a middle-of-the-road kind of way perhaps from time time to time.
