To be honest, take everything you read on those casting lists with a pinch of salt. I remember the one that was out for the Born This Way video and none of it materialised...

5 Lady GaGa - The Edge of Glory 0.5923 0.6448
Obviously it looks like Gaga has decreased, but this isn't the case. The guy from American Idol is simply building a lead. If you use Adele vs Gaga, you'll see how much Gaga has actually increased:
Before
2 ADELE - Rolling In the Deep 0.9713
6 Lady GaGa - The Edge of Glory 0.6448
Gaga's popbar was 66.385% the size of Adele's.
Now
2 ADELE - Rolling In the Deep 0.8338
5 Lady GaGa - The Edge of Glory 0.5923
Gaga's popbar is now 71.036% the size of Adele's.
So compared to Adele, Gaga has gained 4.651% in the past 90minutes.

By the way, combined on US popbars I have TEOG at an approximate figure of 0.6309, which would make the Top 5 look like this:
1 Scotty McCreery - I Love You This Big (American Idol Pe... 1.0000
2 ADELE - Rolling In the Deep 0.8338
3 Lauren Alaina - Like My Mother Does (American Idol Perf... 0.7718

5 Lady GaGa - The Edge of Glory 0.6309
You should copy and paste that for the guys on UKMIX. I read the posts sometimes and they don't see to understand the concept of popbars - everytime they see a decrease, they assume the worst
I knew it wasn't just me.
