American Idol: Gender Breakdowns

In the ongoing battle of the sexes, this season's "American Idol" may unite Venus and Mars, at least in terms of talent. Among U.S. searchers, males and females agree on who the top—and bottom—three contestants are.

After David Archuleta, Ramiele Malubay, and Carly Smithson, though, harmony breaks down. Jason Castro (and his "dreads") and Danny Noriega are among females' top 5 most searched Season 7 "Idol" wannabes. On the male Search spectrum, however, the double-blonde threat of Kristy Lee Cook and Kady Malloy secure the third and fourth spot.

And then there's Michael Johns. The judges' favorite is currently in the middle of the pack. Coasting might be a wise strategy, so that the panel's extravagant praise doesn't backfire on him. Still, the Aussie will be wanting to win some hearts and minds—and ears—in the coming weeks.
